Even when the driver flees, victims may still recover compensation through insurance or lawsuits.

School Zone and Child Pedestrian Accidents

Children are especially vulnerable near schools, crosswalks, and neighborhoods.

Drunk or Distracted Driver Accidents

Impaired or phone-using drivers cause many preventable pedestrian crashes.

Parking Lot and Driveway Accidents

Low visibility and reversing vehicles frequently lead to pedestrian injuries.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I slipped on a wet surface at a retail store and suffered a significant knee injury. What started as what I thought would be a straightforward accident turned into a much more complicated claim. Pathway handled the case against the property owner and helped me pursue compensation for the injury.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I was in a car accident almost two years ago, I reached out to Pathway Law Firm for help navigating the process I found myself in. From the beginning they told me their priority was to make sure I got the care I needed regarding my injuries. Pathway has been by my side every step of the way, through multiple surgeries; my team was diligent in their check-ins and touching base with me after every treatment for the sole purpose of seeing how I was feeling during my recovery. My lawyer Jack Jambazian is someone I will always consider a friend, and an individual anyone would be lucky to have fighting in their corner. He was unwavering, professional and efficient in the handling of my case. Day or Night, he always made himself available to me for any question, concern or problem I had. I never felt like a number in a queue or a future check to be cashed. If anything like this were to happen to me or my wife in the future; Pathway Law Firm and specifically Jack Jambazian is who I will call.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Someone turned left directly in front of my motorcycle and I ended up needing extensive treatment. The other driver tried to make the accident sound very different from what actually happened. Pathway fought the liability issue and made sure my side of the story was represented.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My accident happened on the highway when an SUV changed lanes into my car. I was already dealing with appointments and repairs when the insurance company started questioning my injuries. Having someone handle that side of the situation took a lot of pressure off me.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. After my rear-end collision on the 405, I was dealing with a damaged car, physical therapy, and an insurance adjuster pushing for a quick settlement. Once I hired Pathway, I no longer had to deal with those calls and paperwork myself. That made a huge difference while I was recovering.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I was injured when I tripped over an uneven section of pavement outside a grocery store. The insurance carrier initially offered far less than I believed the injury warranted. Pathway pushed back on the offer and ultimately helped me reach a much better result. I couldn’t be more satisfied with their work.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Recovering from the accident while also dealing with insurance calls felt like too much to handle at once. Once I hired them, all of that communication went through their office instead of me. Took a while to fully resolve, but I always had a clear sense of where things stood along the way.

FAQ

Who is at fault if I was hit by a car while walking?

Fault often lies with the driver if they were distracted, speeding, or failed to yield, but sometimes both parties share responsibility. Our team investigates every detail, and you may still recover compensation even if you’re partly at fault.

Can I get compensation if I was hit by a car while crossing the street?

Yes. If the driver was negligent in any way, you may be able to get compensation for medical bills, lost income, or other damages.

What should I do immediately after a pedestrian accident?

Get medical help, call the police, document the scene if you can, and avoid talking to insurance adjusters until you’ve spoken to an attorney. Quick action protects both your health and your legal rights.

How much is a pedestrian accident case worth?

Each case is different, but factors like injury severity, lost wages, and long-term recovery all affect value. Our firm has recovered significant compensation for injury victims and will evaluate your case based on its unique facts.

Can I still file a claim if I was jaywalking when the accident happened?

In many places, comparative negligence laws allow you to recover compensation even if you were partly at fault. Your recovery may be reduced by your percentage of fault, but it isn’t necessarily eliminated.

Do I need a lawyer for a pedestrian accident, or will insurance cover my bills?

Insurance companies rarely offer full compensation on their own. Having a lawyer ensures your rights are protected, your damages are fully documented, and your recovery is maximized.
