When you're missing paychecks and having to pay off hospital bills, you deserve to have the person who caused your injuries to pay for your bills. Our pedestrian accident lawyers at DM Injury Law will listen to your story and fight for the justice and financial compensation you deserve.

Contact DM Injury Law today to schedule your free case consultation. We work on a contingency fee basis, which means you pay nothing up front or out of pocket. There is no financial risk in calling us.

Common Causes of Pedestrian Accidents

Careless drivers put people in danger every single day. According to the Governors Highway Safety Association (GHSA), drivers hit and killed 3,024 people walking in the United States in the first six months of 2025 alone.

Some of the most common causes of pedestrian accidents include:

  • Distracted Driving: When drivers look at their phones instead of the road, they put everyone around them in huge danger. Distracted driving accidents are some of the most common causes of accidents in the US.
  • Drunk Driving: When people drink or take drugs and drive, their reaction times slow down. Drunk and high driving accidents are completely preventable, yet they cause terrible harm to people walking.
  • Speeding: Cars driving too fast cannot stop in time when someone is crossing the street.
  • Failing to Yield: Many drivers do not stop at crosswalks or stop signs like they are supposed to.
  • Ignoring Traffic Signals: When drivers run red lights or stop signs, the chances of hitting someone in a crosswalk or an intersection increase dramatically.
  • Parking Lot Accidents: Even in parking lots, where speeds are lower, pedestrians are vulnerable. Drivers backing out without proper awareness can strike individuals walking to or from their vehicles.

If you were hit by a car while crossing the street or while walking on a sidewalk, the driver should be held responsible for their reckless actions. Talk to our pedestrian accident lawyers today to schedule your free consultation.

Severe Injuries from Pedestrian Accidents

When a heavy car hits a person, the human body takes all the damage. The injuries are often severe and require emergency hospital visits, surgeries, and long-term care. We help clients who have suffered very serious, life-changing harm.

We handle many types of catastrophic injuries, including:

Whether you or your loved one was hit by a truck or motorcycle, our pedestrian accident attorney will help you seek the compensation you're owed.

Damages You Can Recover After Being Hit by a Car

When you are hurt because of someone else's mistake, the law says they should pay for the damage they caused. DM Injury Law fights to get you the maximum settlement or verdict possible so you can heal without worrying about bills.

Insurance companies do not want to give you this money. They will try to blame you for the accident. You need a lawyer for someone hit by a car to protect your rights and fight for every dollar you are owed.

We fight to get you money for:

  • Medical Bills: This includes ambulance rides, emergency room visits, surgeries, medicine, and physical therapy. It also includes future medical care if you need it. We can work with experts to determine how much money you'll need for care in the future.
  • Lost Wages: If you had to miss work because of your injuries, you should get paid for the paychecks you lost. If you can never work again, we fight for your future lost income.
  • Pain and Suffering: You deserve to be paid for the physical pain and the emotional stress the accident caused you.
  • Wrongful Death Damages: If a loved one died because of the accident, you deserve to have the funeral and other expenses taken care of. We can also help you get money for the emotional toll the accident left on you and your family.

FAQs for Our Pedestrian Accident Lawyers

What should I do right after I get hit by a car?

  1. Call 911 and seek immediate medical attention. Your health and safety are the top priority.
  2. If you are able, get the driver's name, contact information, and insurance details.
  3. Take photos of the vehicle, the scene of the accident, and your injuries.
  4. Do not speak to the driver's insurance company.
  5. Contact a lawyer and let them handle everything for you.

How much does it cost to hire a lawyer?

It costs you nothing upfront. We work on a contingency fee, which means we only take a percentage of the money we win for you at the very end. If we lose, you pay us absolutely nothing.

What if the driver drove away (hit and run)?

Hit-and-run accidents are very scary, but you still have options. Sometimes, the police or our investigators can track down the driver using cameras or witnesses. If the driver is never found, you might still be able to get money from your own car insurance policy if you have uninsured motorist coverage. We can look at your policy and tell you what your options are.
