Work with a Pedestrian Accident Lawyer Who Puts You First

A pedestrian accident can change your life in an instant—leaving you with medical bills, lost income, and emotional trauma. At The Law Offices of Darren T. Moore, our compassionate legal team understands the unique challenges pedestrians face after a collision.

We represent individuals seriously injured while crossing streets, walking through parking lots, navigating intersections, or even walking on sidewalks. Whether the driver was distracted, speeding, or fled the scene, our pedestrian accident lawyer will fight for your rights.

Common Causes of Pedestrian Accidents

Every pedestrian accident is different, but many result from preventable driver negligence. Our legal team thoroughly investigates each case to identify what went wrong and who is at fault.

Frequent Factors in Pedestrian Collisions:

• Distracted Driving: Texting, talking on the phone, or using GPS can divert a driver’s attention from the road.

• Failure to Yield at Crosswalks: Many drivers ignore pedestrian right-of-way rules.

• Speeding in Residential or Urban Areas: Excessive speed increases the likelihood and severity of injury.

• Driving Under the Influence: Alcohol or drugs impair judgment, reaction time, and visibility.

• Unmarked or Poorly Marked Crosswalks: Lack of signage or worn paint puts pedestrians at risk.

• Parking Lot Accidents: Drivers backing out of spaces without checking blind spots can cause serious harm.

• Large Vehicle Collisions: Trucks and SUVs often cause more severe injuries due to their size and impact force.

• Low Visibility Conditions: Poor lighting or weather may obscure a pedestrian, but drivers are still responsible.

• Hit-and-Run Incidents: Even if the driver flees, we explore all avenues, including uninsured motorist claims.

• Children and Elderly Victims: These vulnerable groups often suffer the most devastating injuries.

Common Injuries in Pedestrian Accidents

Because pedestrians lack any form of protection, injuries are often severe and require long-term treatment or rehabilitation.

Typical Injuries Include:

• Traumatic brain injuries (TBI)

• Broken bones and fractures

• Internal organ damage

• Spinal cord injuries and paralysis

• Lacerations, road rash, and disfigurement

• Psychological trauma and PTSD

A pedestrian accident lawyer from our firm will help you calculate the total value of your damages, including pain and suffering, emotional distress, and loss of future income.

How Our Pedestrian Accident Lawyer Builds Your Case

Our legal team does more than just file claims—we build strong, evidence-based cases that stand up to insurance companies and in court.

Here’s what we handle:

• Securing traffic camera or security footage

• Interviewing eyewitnesses

• Gathering police reports and medical records

• Consulting with accident reconstruction experts

• Estimating long-term care and rehabilitation costs

We leave no stone unturned in your pursuit of justice.

What Compensation Can You Recover After a Pedestrian Accident?

When a negligent driver causes harm, they—and their insurer—should be held financially accountable. Depending on the details of your case, you may be entitled to:

• Medical expenses (emergency care, surgeries, rehab)

• Lost income from missed work

• Future loss of earnings if your injuries affect your career

• Pain and suffering

• Permanent disability or disfigurement

• Loss of enjoyment of life

• Wrongful death damages (if a loved one was killed in a pedestrian accident)

We aggressively pursue every dollar you’re owed. Insurance companies often try to lowball settlements—but we don’t back down.
