Pedestrian Accidents
Protecting Pedestrians After an Accident
Pedestrian accidents can cause serious injuries that affect your physical health, emotional well-being, and finances. In 2023, over 7,300 pedestrians lost their lives in accidents, and more than 68,000 were injured across the country.
Whether you were hit by a car while crossing the street, walking on the sidewalk, or waiting at a bus stop, Lowe Injury Law is here to help. Our experienced pedestrian accident attorneys are dedicated to guiding you through the legal process and making sure you get the compensation you deserve.
Why You Need an Experienced Pedestrian Accident Lawyer
If you’ve been in a pedestrian accident, it’s important to have an experienced lawyer on your side. These accidents can lead to serious injuries like broken bones, head trauma, or even spinal cord injuries. The process of filing a claim and getting fair compensation can be tricky, especially when insurance companies try to offer you less than you deserve.
At Lowe Injury Law, our team knows how to handle every part of your case, from gathering the evidence to negotiating with insurance companies. We’ll fight to make sure you get the compensation you need for medical bills, lost wages, pain, and more.
Common Causes of Pedestrian Accidents
Knowing what causes pedestrian accidents can help you understand your rights if you’ve been hurt. Here are some of the most common reasons these accidents happen:
Driver Negligence:
Drivers who are distracted by their phones, speeding, or running red lights can cause accidents that seriously injure pedestrians.
Poor Road Conditions:
Things like dark streets, broken crosswalks, and bad signage can make it harder for pedestrians to stay safe.
Driver Intoxication:
When drivers are under the influence of alcohol or drugs, they’re much more likely to hit a pedestrian.
Pedestrian Behavior:
While drivers are usually to blame, sometimes pedestrians who jaywalk or don’t use crosswalks can also contribute to accidents
What to Do After a Pedestrian Accident
Getting hit by a vehicle is scary and overwhelming, but what you do right after the accident can make a big difference, especially if you’re planning to file a claim. Here are some important steps to protect your health and your legal rights:
- Get Medical Help Right Away: Even if you think you're okay or your injuries seem minor, it's still important to see a doctor. Some injuries—like internal bleeding or a concussion—might not show symptoms right away. Getting checked out also creates a medical record that can support your claim later on.
- Call the Police and Report the Accident: Make sure the accident is officially reported. Ask the police to come to the scene and file a report. If you’re able, try to get the driver’s information, take photos of the area, and speak with any witnesses who saw what happened.
- Talk to a Pedestrian Accident Lawyer: The legal process can get complicated fast. That’s why it’s a smart idea to talk to a pedestrian accident lawyer as soon as possible. A lawyer can help you understand your rights, deal with the insurance companies, and start building a strong case on your behalf.
- Hold On to All Evidence: Keep anything that might help prove your case—like photos, your clothes from the accident, medical bills, and names of any witnesses. Even small details can make a big difference.
You don’t have to go through this alone. Our team is here to support you every step of the way.

How Pedestrian Accident Claims Work
Filing a pedestrian accident claim can feel like a lot to take on, especially when you’re trying to heal and get your life back on track. Here’s what the process usually looks like:
Starting Your Claim
Once we’ve had a chance to talk about your situation, we’ll begin by officially filing your claim. This includes gathering all the important information needed to show how the accident happened and how it’s affected your life.
Our goal is to help you recover compensation for things like medical bills, time you missed from work, pain and suffering, and any lasting impact on your daily life.
Dealing with Insurance Companies
Insurance companies are often more focused on saving money than helping victims. They may try to offer a low settlement or even blame you for the accident.
But don’t worry—we handle all communication with them so you don’t have to. Our team knows how to stand up to their tactics and fight for what you truly deserve.
What You Can Get Compensation For
Every case is different, but here are some of the most common types of damages we help clients recover:
- Medical Expenses: from ER visits and surgeries to therapy and future treatment
- Lost Wages: for the time you had to take off work because of your injuries
- Pain and Suffering: for the physical pain and emotional toll you’ve experienced
- Emotional Distress: anxiety, depression, or trauma caused by the accident
- Punitive damages: in some cases, if the driver was especially reckless
Don’t Wait Too Long
Don’t Wait Too Long
There’s something called a “statute of limitations,” which is basically a legal deadline for filing your claim. This deadline depends on the state you’re in. If you wait too long, you could lose your chance to take legal action. That’s why it’s important to talk to a lawyer as soon as you can, so everything gets filed on time.
At Lowe Injury Law, we’ll be by your side from day one—working hard to make sure your rights are protected and your voice is heard.
