Getting hit by a car while walking can turn a simple outing into a life-altering event. The physical pain, emotional trauma, and financial toll can be overwhelming — especially when the accident was caused by someone else’s negligence. You may still have a claim even if you have some fault in the matter. Whether it happened in a crosswalk, parking lot, or along a poorly maintained sidewalk, pedestrians deserve strong legal support.
At Kobes Legal PLLC, we’re here to help you hold negligent drivers and property owners accountable. Our team stands with injured pedestrians, helping them recover the compensation they need to heal and move forward. You focus on your recovery — we’ll handle the legal battle.
A pedestrian accident occurs when a person on foot is struck by a vehicle, bicycle, or other moving object, often due to a driver’s negligence or unsafe conditions. These incidents can lead to serious, life-altering injuries. Even if you are nowhere near your vehicle, your underinsured and your personal injury protection may be available to you for compensation. The facts matter, so it’s essential to call Kobes Legal PLLC about this right away.
Struck by a Car in a Crosswalk
When drivers fail to yield the right-of-way to pedestrians at marked or unmarked crosswalks, serious or even fatal injuries can result. These cases often involve clear negligence on the part of the driver.
Parking Lot Collisions
Pedestrian accidents frequently occur in parking lots where visibility is low, traffic patterns are confusing, and drivers may be distracted. These collisions can lead to significant injuries despite the typically slower vehicle speeds.
Failure to Obey Traffic Signals
When drivers run red lights, ignore stop signs, or make illegal turns, they put pedestrians at extreme risk. These violations often leave injured victims with strong claims for compensation.
Poor Road or Sidewalk Conditions
Uneven pavement, potholes, broken curbs, and lack of proper signage can cause a pedestrian to trip or fall into traffic. Property owners and municipalities may be liable for hazardous conditions.
Hit-and-Run Incidents
Hit-and-run accidents leave victims not only injured but also without immediate help. Our team works to identify the driver and pursue all available legal avenues, including uninsured motorist claims.
Collisions with Bicycles or Scooters
Fast-moving bikes or electric scooters can seriously injure pedestrians when operated recklessly or in pedestrian-only zones. These accidents often occur on sidewalks, trails, and urban walkways, and liability can still be pursued.
To file a successful pedestrian accident claim, we must typically prove:
- You were hit by a car, truck, or motorcycle while walking;
- The driver was speeding, distracted, or failed to yield;
- You suffered injuries that required medical attention; and
- The accident occurred on a public road, crosswalk, or parking lot.
Even if you’re unsure whether you qualify, we’ll review your case with care and clarity — free of charge.
