Pedestrian Accidents
Standing up for pedestrians struck by negligent motorists.
Pedestrians have no protection in a collision with a vehicle. Injuries are often catastrophic, and insurers may argue the pedestrian was at fault to reduce or deny compensation.
Kelso Law Group represents pedestrians injured in crosswalks, parking lots, sidewalks, and roadways. At Kelso Law Group, our attorneys know how insurers and defense teams evaluate claims because we have defended large companies and carriers — and we use that insight to build stronger cases for our clients.
Common Pedestrian Accident Cases We Handle
Pedestrian claims require strong evidence of driver negligence. We handle:
- Crosswalk and intersection strikes
- Backing-up and parking lot collisions
- Hit-and-run pedestrian accidents
- Distracted and impaired driving strikes
- School zone and residential street incidents
- Wrongful death pedestrian accident claims
Compensation You May Be Entitled To
If someone else’s negligence caused your injuries, you should not have to bear the financial burden alone. The value of your claim depends on the severity of your injuries, the impact on your work and daily life, and the insurance coverage available.
Depending on your case, compensation may include:
- Emergency care, surgery, therapy, and future medical treatment
- Lost wages and reduced earning capacity
- Pain and suffering
- Property damage and out-of-pocket expenses
- Emotional distress and mental anguish
- Wrongful death damages for surviving family members
What To Do After a Pedestrian Accident
If you were struck as a pedestrian, prioritize medical care and evidence with these steps:
- Seek medical attention immediately — even if you feel fine. Some serious injuries take time to appear.
- Call the police or appropriate authorities and make sure an official report is filed.
- Document the scene with photos, witness names, and your own notes while details are fresh.
- Notify your insurance company, but avoid giving a recorded statement to the at-fault party’s insurer.
- Contact Kelso Law Group before accepting any settlement offer. We can investigate liability and fight for full compensation.
