A pedestrian accident happens when a walker, jogger, or bicyclist is struck by someone who is operating a motor vehicle. Unlike ordinary auto collisions, when a pedestrian is hit by a moving car or truck, the injuries are more likely to be catastrophic as the person is completely exposed.
When you or a loved one are injured in a pedestrian accident, you have a legal right to pursue compensation. When someone else’s carelessness or negligent conduct causes you to be injured, they can be held responsible. An Avondale pedestrian accident lawyer could review your case and help you pursue a claim. To learn more about your options for financial recovery, contact our office to schedule a free consultation with a trusted local personal injury attorney.

Pedestrian Accidents Caused by Driver Negligence
Although walking and running is a great way to get around and exercise, when drivers do not practice caution, pedestrians are at risk of serious injuries. It is no surprise that the majority of pedestrian accidents are caused by driver negligence. Some common causes of accidents with pedestrians include:
Other factors like poor visibility could increase the likelihood of a pedestrian accident. Likewise, bad weather conditions or poorly lit roads make it more difficult to see the surroundings. To avoid accidents, pedestrians should always exercise caution and wear bright-colored clothing when running or walking at night. Drivers have an obligation to watch out for pedestrians, give them the right of way, and avoid distractions or substances that could impair their driving abilities. An Avondale attorney from our firm could help an injured pedestrian hold the at-fault motorist responsible for their losses if a failure to uphold this duty is the cause of the accident.
Recoverable Compensation for Pedestrian Accident Injuries
After a pedestrian accident, people sustain various types of injuries. When someone is hit by a car, the injury tends to be catastrophic. Some common injuries in pedestrian accidents include:
Recoverable compensation in a lawsuit will depend on the severity of the person’s injuries. An experienced attorney could advocate for damages that consider the full extent of the harm. For example, those with serious injuries may need long-term medical care, physical therapy, surgery, or medical equipment. These costs can quickly add up, financially burdening the person and their family. Fortunately, a pedestrian accident lawyer in Avondale could work to recover these costs and more.
In a personal injury lawsuit, an injured person can seek financial compensation for all economic and noneconomic damages they sustained. A successful claim will seek compensation for past and future medical care, lost income or earning capacity, emotional distress, and pain and suffering. If the vehicle-pedestrian accident took the victim’s life, their loved ones could file a wrongful death claim on their behalf.

Thank you for everything.

When in pain because of an accident all you want to do is focus on getting better and that is what did thanks to this firm. My family and I were set up with a Dr and Chiro right away.

A special thanks the intake specialist Rosalba who was very kind on the phone when I first called. I highly recommend this firm to anyone, they treat you like family.
Erika A.
I am so thankful for Ruthann and Maria. They both were amazing throughout the process. When Maria took over my case, I felt like I was being treated with empathy about my pain and experiences while treating. She also made sure to answer my questions. Maria always responded to my communication attempts and answered questions I had as they came up. She helped me with things I needed in regards to my case and helped ease the anxiety as bills piled up and my injuries were still being treated. I was able to contact her as I was treating and she helped find providers closer to my home to make it more accommodating for me. This helped me juggle work...

Emily N.
My case closed yesterday and I RAN to make this review because of how exceptional my experience has been with Phillips Law Group! I received the best settlement I could've hoped for and am extremely happy with the outcome; but I especially wanted to shout out and give praise to Julianna, the Litigation Paralegal on my case. From the moment Julianna was assigned to my case almost two years ago, until the completion of the settlement process yesterday, Julianna's commitment to exceptional customer service, clear communication, and unwavering support truly stood out. I had so many questions -- from the legal process, to where to seek medical treatment, to questions about medical bills, to the negotiation process, and more --...
