Pedestrian accidents are among the most devastating types of crashes, often leaving victims with severe or life-threatening injuries. Unlike drivers, pedestrians have no physical protection, which means even low-speed collisions can result in broken bones, spinal cord damage, or traumatic brain injuries. TopDog Law is committed to helping injured pedestrians in Arizona recover the compensation they deserve.

Pedestrians in Arizona have specific rights and responsibilities designed to keep them safe. Some key laws that impact pedestrian accident claims include:
Despite these laws, many pedestrian accidents occur due to driver negligence, such as failing to yield or speeding through intersections.
Many pedestrian accidents are entirely preventable and occur due to reckless or inattentive driving. Some of the leading causes include:
Pedestrians are especially vulnerable in these situations, as even low-speed collisions can result in severe injuries.
Pedestrians involved in vehicle collisions often suffer catastrophic injuries due to the direct impact of a car, truck, or motorcycle. Some of the most common injuries include:
These injuries often require extensive medical care, physical therapy, and long-term rehabilitation. Seeking compensation can help cover these costs.
In most cases, negligent drivers are responsible for pedestrian accidents, but other parties may also share liability. Potentially responsible parties include:
Determining liability requires a thorough investigation, including reviewing police reports, traffic camera footage, and witness statements.
Taking the right steps after a pedestrian accident can protect both physical health and legal rights.
Arizona follows a pure comparative negligence rule, meaning that even if a pedestrian is partially at fault for an accident, they may still recover compensation. However, their settlement will be reduced by their percentage of fault.
For example, if a pedestrian is found 25% responsible for crossing outside a crosswalk, their total compensation will be reduced by 25%. Insurance companies often use this law to shift blame and minimize payouts, making legal representation valuable.
Hit-and-run pedestrian accidents are particularly devastating, leaving victims injured with no immediate recourse. However, financial recovery may still be possible through:
While hit-and-run cases are challenging, legal professionals can explore available options for compensation.
Arizona law imposes a two-year statute of limitations on personal injury claims, meaning victims generally have two years from the accident date to file a lawsuit.
However, if the case involves a government entity, such as a city responsible for a faulty crosswalk signal, a notice of claim must be filed within 180 days. Missing these deadlines can result in losing the right to compensation, making it essential to act quickly.
Pedestrian accident injuries are often severe, and for many victims, the consequences last far beyond the initial recovery period. Unlike car or truck accident victims, pedestrians have no protective barriers to absorb impact, making them vulnerable to permanent disabilities and ongoing medical complications.
Some of the long-term effects of pedestrian accidents include:
Because these long-term impacts can be life-altering, pedestrian accident claims often involve substantial compensation to cover future medical care, lost earning potential, and pain and suffering.
Children and elderly individuals are particularly vulnerable to pedestrian accidents due to slower reaction times and increased difficulty avoiding hazards. Drivers are expected to exercise extra caution around these groups, but negligent behavior still results in tragic accidents.
Common risks for children:
Common risks for elderly pedestrians:
When a child or senior citizen is injured in a pedestrian accident, their recovery process may take longer, and damages may be higher due to extended medical care needs. Families should consider legal options to secure compensation for immediate and future expenses.
Certain areas in Arizona present higher risks for pedestrians due to heavy traffic, poor infrastructure, or high-speed roadways. Some of the most dangerous locations for pedestrian accidents include:
Understanding these high-risk areas can help pedestrians take extra precautions, but ultimately, driver responsibility plays the biggest role in preventing accidents.
One of the leading causes of pedestrian accidents in Arizona is distracted driving. As more drivers use smartphones, in-car entertainment systems, and GPS devices, the risk of inattentive driving continues to rise.
Common forms of distracted driving include:
Even a momentary lapse in attention can have fatal consequences for pedestrians. Victims of distracted driving accidents should seek legal assistance to hold the negligent driver accountable.
