We handle all types of pedestrian accidents
Pedestrian accidents can happen many different ways, but most have something in common: a motorist failed to yield the right of way or pay attention and caused a serious collision.
- Midblock — The collision happens in the middle of the street.
- Merging or Turning Vehicle — The pedestrian and vehicle collide when the vehicle is turning into the path of the person on foot. This is common at intersections that allow turning right on red, for example.
- Walking Along Road — Sidewalks are unavailable, and a pedestrian opts to walk, run, or jog in the road. When these accidents happen, the pedestrian is often going with traffic and hit from behind.
- Backing Vehicle — Pedestrian is struck by a vehicle backing up. In more than 20 percent of cases, this is a fatal accident.
- Not In Roadway —The pedestrian was hit somewhere other than a roadway like a parking lot, driveway, private road, sidewalk, or yard. Parking lots can be particularly dangerous because other vehicles block visibility.

- Medical expenses to cover past, present, and future accident-related costs
- Medication and medical devices
