Causes of pedestrian accidents

Any of the following causes of a pedestrian accident may be grounds for financial compensation:

• A driver entering a crosswalk where someone is crossing
• Turning when someone crossing the street has the right of way
• Failing to leave enough room for someone walking on the side of the road
• Not slowing down to allow people on foot to cross in a crossing zone
• Driving too fast in a pedestrian zone
• Backing up without looking for people who are behind
• Crosswalks that are inappropriately marked
• Unusual traffic patterns or road design
• Poor visibility, not taking road conditions into account
• Speeding, traffic signal violations and improper lane changes
• An outdoor restaurant that seats passengers or has a waiting area in harm’s way

Drivers have a duty of care to others, including pedestrians that may be nearby. Our lawyers can investigate the cause of the accident and preserve the evidence. Proving the cause of the accident is key to ensuring that the appropriate party is held responsible.

Can a pedestrian be at fault for an accident?

If you’re accused of being at fault for an accident – don’t panic! It’s not the insurance company that has the final say. We can help you fight allegations of fault.

Pedestrians have a duty of reasonable care, in a similar way that drivers do. What’s reasonable depends on the circumstances. If you’re at fault, you may still recover some compensation. For the serious injuries that often result from pedestrian accidents, this compensation can be substantial in some cases.

When you have a consultation with a pedestrian accident lawyer, we can explore comparative negligence and whether it will be a question in your case. Our law firm fights for your rights and best interests, including in cases that are contested or complex.

Common pedestrian accident injuries

Common injuries that you may claim for a pedestrian accident include:

• Internal organ damage from blunt force trauma to the torso
• Road rash from being thrown a distance
• Broken bones, ribs and skull
• Paraplegia, quadriplegia, paralysis, spinal cord damage
• Injuries to ligaments and tendons
• Lacerations, bleeding, bruising
• Whiplash, aches and pains, soft tissue damage
• Brain damage, traumatic brain injury (TBI)
• Damage to the senses
• PTSD
• Anxiety
• Flashbacks

Because of the large size of a vehicle compared to a pedestrian, damages are often severe. Damages are based on actual losses. Damages may include non-economic losses like pain and suffering, mental anguish, disability and disfigurement. Punitive damages may be available if the defendant’s conduct was particularly offensive.

Why do I need a pedestrian injury lawyer?

If you try to handle the case on your own, you’re held to the same standards as though you had an attorney. Knowing how to file the claim, how to negotiate with the insurance company and how to take certain actions using legal procedure can all be complicated. You’re expected to do everything correctly, while you’re recovering from devastating and unexpected injuries. Simple mistakes, even unintentional, can hurt your case.

When you work with Tampa pedestrian accident lawyer Moses DeWitt, you know that you have an experienced professional to help you make the most of your claim.
