Quick Answers After A Pedestrian Accident
What This Practice Area Covers
A Pedestrian Accident Claim Is About Driver Responsibility
Pedestrians have the right to use sidewalks, crosswalks, and roadways safely. When a driver fails to yield, speeds through an intersection, or drives while distracted, the consequences can be severe.
If negligent driving or unsafe roadway conditions caused your injuries, you may be entitled to compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, and long-term harm.
At Gillani Law, we represent injured pedestrians when liability is disputed or insurers attempt to minimize serious injuries.
Common Pedestrian Accident Cases We Handle
- Crosswalk collisions
- Failure-to-yield accidents
- Distracted driving crashes
- Hit-and-run pedestrian accidents
- Speeding-related pedestrian crashes
- Accidents involving turning vehicles
- Parking lot pedestrian injuries
- Roadway design or signal malfunction cases
These cases often require careful investigation of traffic laws and right-of-way rules.
You May Still Have a Case Even If…
- You were not in a marked crosswalk
- The driver claims they did not see you
- The accident occurred at night
- You did not go to the emergency room immediately
- The driver fled the scene
- The insurance company disputes fault
Pedestrian cases often depend on a detailed review of the facts.
What To Do After A Pedestrian Accident
Call 911
Report the accident and request medical assistance. An official report is critical in documenting driver involvement and fault.
Document What Happened
If possible, take photos of the scene, vehicle damage, traffic signals, and your injuries. Gather witness contact information.
Seek Medical Care
Even if symptoms seem manageable, get evaluated promptly. Pedestrian injuries may involve head trauma, internal injuries, or fractures that require immediate care.
Contact Your Insurance Company & an Attorney
Notify your insurer if applicable, especially in hit-and-run cases. Speaking with Gillani Law can help protect your rights before giving recorded statements.
Injuries and Damages We Commonly See In Pedestrian Accidents
Pedestrian accidents frequently result in serious injuries due to direct impact with a vehicle.
We commonly represent clients suffering from:
- Traumatic brain injuries (TBI)
- Concussions
- Spinal cord injuries
- Broken bones and fractures
- Pelvic injuries
- Internal bleeding or organ damage
- Severe lacerations and scarring
- Nerve damage
- Long-term mobility limitations
- Emotional trauma following the crash
Because pedestrians lack physical protection, even low-speed impacts can cause significant harm.
A Note About Delayed Symptoms
Head injuries, internal bleeding, and soft tissue damage may not be immediately apparent. If new symptoms develop after the accident, seek medical attention promptly and document your care.
