Pedestrian accidents can happen in the blink of an eye, often leading to serious injuries or worse. If you or your loved one has been struck and injured in such an incident, you deserve to understand that you have rights and legal options. Navigating the aftermath of a pedestrian accident requires a law firm that not only understands the intricacies of Pennsylvania’s traffic laws but also empathizes with the tumultuous journey victims undergo.Â

Pennsylvania is a dangerous state for pedestrians, to the tune of 3,160 injured victims in one year alone. Of these, a large percentage include older adults and young children, who often experience more severe injuries as a result of these collisions. Pedestrians under the age of 19 account for 25% of all pedestrian injuries, while elderly individuals are much more likely to be the victims of fatal crashes. Â
Factors such as distracted driving, speeding, failure to yield, and inadequate pedestrian infrastructure all contribute to the dangerous conditions for pedestrians when combined with irresponsible and reckless behavior on the part of motorists. Additionally, the state’s urban areas, with their heavy traffic and high population density, pose particular risks for pedestrians when negligent drivers fail to account for these variables.Â
The intricacies of pedestrian accident cases revolve around proving negligence, whether on the part of a motorist, cyclist, or even, in certain situations, another entity whose actions contributed to the incident. Moreover, accident victims have a limited time to pursue a personal injury lawsuit for damages, which is generally two years from the date of the accident.Â
Navigating these nuances requires a deep understanding of local traffic regulations and right-of-way laws and the ability to dissect accident reports, witness statements, and potential camera footage with a trained eye. In this regard, our pedestrian accident attorneys are indispensable advocates. By employing investigative resources, reconstructing the accident scene, and consulting with experts, your attorney can unearth evidence that substantiates your claim, strengthening your stance against insurance companies poised to challenge your story.
Moreover, our lawyers are adept in pedestrian accident cases and can uncover multiple avenues for compensation. Beyond the obvious liable party, there may be grounds to hold additional parties accountable, such as a vehicle manufacturer for faulty brakes, a city for unclear pedestrian signage, or an employer if the accident involved a commercial vehicle during work-related activities. By identifying these opportunities, your attorney ensures that you are not only pursuing justice but also maximizing the potential compensation available to aid in your recovery and provide for your future needs.
Securing compensation after a pedestrian accident in Pennsylvania is a structured process aimed at making the injured party whole again, at least financially. The extent and nature of the injuries sustained often influence the types of compensation available. Victims may be entitled to recover costs for various damages, both economic and non-economic, to address the broad impact of the accident on their lives.Â
However, demonstrating this requires detailed documentation and, in many cases, expert testimony to calculate the fair amount accurately. A skilled pedestrian accident attorney can guide you through this meticulous process, ensuring each relevant aspect of your life affected by the accident is considered in building your compensation claim.
Some of the losses you may be entitled to compensation for include:Â
Effectively, nothing. We understand the financial pressure that comes after being involved in a pedestrian accident. That’s why we operate on a contingency fee basis, meaning our clients don’t pay unless we win. This approach allows our clients to enlist our comprehensive legal services without any upfront fees or out-of-pocket expenses. Our payment is a percentage of the verdict or settlement we obtain for you, ensuring our interests are fully aligned with yours. So, if you seek justice without adding financial burden, our team is ready to stand by you at every juncture, investing our resources in achieving a favorable outcome in your case.
If you or a loved one has been injured in a pedestrian accident, don’t let the opportunity for just compensation slip through your fingers. Reach out to TopDog Law today for a free consultation, where our dedicated team will review your case with the compassion and attention it deserves.Â
