What Is a Pedestrian Accident Claim?

A pedestrian accident claim is a type of personal injury case where an injured pedestrian seeks compensation for harm suffered in a collision with a motor vehicle, cyclist, or another party. Because pedestrians are highly vulnerable in such accidents, injuries are often serious and may require long-term medical care.

Common Causes of Pedestrian Accidents

Pedestrian accidents can occur for various reasons, including:

• Driver Negligence – Many accidents happen when motorists fail to stop at traffic lights, fail to yield at pedestrian crossings, speed in residential areas, or drive while distracted by texting or phone calls.
• Pedestrian Misjudgment – Sometimes, accidents occur when pedestrians step into the road without checking for traffic or ignore designated crossings. However, even in these situations, compensation may still be possible if the driver was also at fault.
• Unsafe Crosswalks and Road Design – Poorly designed pedestrian crossings, inadequate lighting, unclear signage, and lack of traffic control measures can contribute to pedestrian accidents.

Types of Injuries in Pedestrian Accidents

Due to their vulnerability, pedestrians often suffer severe injuries, including:

• Head Injuries – Traumatic brain injuries (TBI) from impacts with a vehicle or the ground can have life-altering consequences.
• Fractures and Broken Bones – Legs, arms, ribs, and the pelvis are particularly prone to fractures in pedestrian accidents.
• Spinal Injuries – Damage to the spinal cord can lead to paralysis or other long-term disabilities.
• Soft Tissue Injuries – Sprains, strains, and bruising can cause significant pain and require extended recovery periods.
