Pedestrian Accidents

Compared to other accidents that involve motor vehicles, pedestrian accidents are typically the most severe. When a car or truck strikes a pedestrian, the person will almost always end up on the losing end of the collision. Because pedestrians have little to no protection, they will typically suffer serious or catastrophic injuries. Even in cases that involve low-speed collisions, a crash with a pedestrian can cause permanent physical damage to a victim.

Most pedestrian accidents are not caused purposefully, but are the cause of misjudgments and dangerous actions on the part of negligent drivers. We know what evidence is necessary to prove negligence and establish the severity of your injuries, which can enhance the chances of you obtaining the maximum recovery.

Common causes for pedestrian accidents include:

• Driver error
• Texting while driving
• Poor road conditions
• Failure to obey traffic laws
• Inattentive or distracted driving
• Pedestrian failure to obey laws
• Failure to observe posted signage

Walkers, runners, and children at play are all at high risk of being involved in pedestrian accidents. We all share the road with one another, but if we fail to adhere to exercise great care, tragic accidents can result. Had drivers or pedestrians only adhered to the rules of the road, many pedestrian accidents and serious injuries could be prevented.

Whether you are a pedestrian who has been struck by a vehicle or your child suffered injuries after a collision, there may be several parties or entities responsible for the damages. From defective product or property liability, we will completely investigate your case to get down to the root cause of your injury. If you have suffered damages due to no fault of your own, it is time to take legal action with the help of an experienced Indianapolis pedestrian accident lawyer.
