Pedestrian Accidents

Protecting Injured Pedestrians and Their Rights

Pedestrians are among the most vulnerable road users, with no protection against vehicles in the event of a collision. Even at low speeds, pedestrian accidents can cause severe injuries, permanent disabilities, and even fatalities. If you or a loved one has been injured in a pedestrian accident, you may be facing painful injuries, medical bills, lost wages, and emotional distress.

At Pyramid Legal, we are dedicated to fighting for injured pedestrians, holding reckless drivers and negligent parties accountable, and securing the maximum compensation you deserve.

Understanding Pedestrian Accidents and Your Legal Rights

Pedestrians have the right of way in most traffic situations, yet careless drivers frequently fail to yield, speed through crosswalks, or drive distracted, putting lives at risk. When drivers ignore traffic laws, pedestrians often suffer life-changing injuries or even lose their lives.

If a driver’s negligence caused your accident, you have the right to pursue compensation for your injuries, medical expenses, lost income, and pain and suffering. At Pyramid Legal, we fight to ensure you get the justice and financial recovery you deserve.

Common Causes of Pedestrian Accidents

Most pedestrian accidents are caused by driver negligence, including:

  • Failure to Yield at Crosswalks
    Many drivers ignore pedestrian right-of-way laws, causing preventable crashes.

  • Distracted Driving
    Texting, using a phone, or looking away from the road leads to serious accidents.

  • Speeding and Reckless Driving
    Excessive speed reduces reaction time, making it harder to stop for pedestrians.

  • Drunk or Impaired Driving
    Alcohol and drugs impair a driver’s judgment and ability to see and react to pedestrians.

  • Unsafe Left Turns
    Drivers focusing on oncoming traffic may fail to see a pedestrian crossing the street.

  • Poor Visibility Conditions
    Low lighting, bad weather, or obstructed views increase the risk of pedestrian accidents.

If you or a loved one has been injured due to a driver’s negligence, Pyramid Legal is ready to fight for you.

Injuries Resulting from Pedestrian Accidents

Because pedestrians have no physical protection, they often suffer severe and catastrophic injuries, including:

  • Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBI)
    Head injuries can lead to cognitive impairment and long-term medical needs.

  • Spinal Cord Injuries
    Paralysis or loss of mobility can result from a high-impact crash.

  • Broken Bones and Fractures
    Leg, hip, and arm fractures often require surgeries and rehabilitation.

  • Internal Injuries
    Blunt-force trauma can cause internal bleeding and life-threatening complications.

  • Lacerations and Soft Tissue Damage
    Deep cuts, torn ligaments, and permanent scarring are common.

If you have been injured in a pedestrian accident, you need a skilled attorney to help you recover full compensation for your losses.
