Protecting the rights of injured pedestrians, Harry C. Demiris, Jr., P.C.

Have you been injured in a pedestrian accident?

If you have been hit by a car, truck, bus, or any other vehicle while walking, you may be entitled to compensation for your injuries and losses. Pedestrian accidents can cause serious and life-threatening injuries, such as fractures, brain damage, spinal cord injury, or even death. You may face medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other damages because of the accident.

We are dedicated to helping injured pedestrians recover the compensation they deserve. We have the experience, knowledge, and skills to manage complex pedestrian accident cases and fight for your rights against the negligent drivers and their insurance companies. We will investigate your case, gather evidence, negotiate with the insurers, and take your case to trial if necessary. We will not charge you any fees unless we win your case.

What are the common causes of pedestrian accidents?

Pedestrian accidents can happen for many reasons, but some of the most common causes are:

Driver distraction, such as texting, talking on the phone, or using GPS
Driver impairment, such as alcohol, drugs, or fatigue
Driver speeding, running red lights, or failing to yield the right of way
Driver inattention, such as not checking blind spots, mirrors, or crosswalks
Poor visibility, such as bad weather, low lighting, or glare
Poor road conditions, such as potholes, cracks, or debris
Pedestrian error, such as jaywalking, crossing against the signal, or wearing dark clothing

No matter the cause of the accident, if you were injured as a pedestrian, you have the right to seek compensation from the responsible party. You should not have to bear the burden of someone else’s negligence.

What are the steps to take after a pedestrian accident?

If you have been involved in a pedestrian accident, you should take the following steps to protect your health and your legal rights:

Call 911 and report the accident. Ask for the police and an ambulance to arrive at the scene.
Seek medical attention as soon as possible. Even if you think your injuries are minor, you should get checked by a doctor and follow their instructions. Some injuries may not show up right away but may worsen over time.
Collect information from the driver and any witnesses. Get the driver’s name, contact information, license number, insurance information, and vehicle information. Also, get the names and contact information of any witnesses who saw the accident.
Take photos and videos of the scene. If you have a smartphone or a camera, take pictures and videos of the accident scene, the vehicle, your injuries, and any other relevant details.
Do not admit fault or apologize. Anything you say after the accident can be used against you by the driver or their insurance company. Do not admit fault, apologize, or make any statements without consulting a lawyer first.
Contact a pedestrian accident lawyer. As soon as possible, contact a pedestrian accident lawyer who can advise you on your legal options and represent you in your claim. A lawyer can help you get the maximum compensation you deserve and protect you from the insurance company’s tactics.
