Causes of pedestrian accidents
As we touched on briefly above, there are many different causes of pedestrian accidents. There are plenty of ways in which pedestrian accidents may vary or be unique to one another. Below, you can find some of the most common types of pedestrian accidents:
- Not taking the weather into account while driving
- A lack of functioning crosswalks or crossing guards to assist traffic
- Failure of drivers to stop for a school bus
- Disobeying traffic signs like running a red light or turning without the right of way
- Being careless while stopping to let passengers embark or disembark
- Failing to leave an appropriate distance between you and the vehicle
- Trying to maneuver around traffic
- A speeding driver doesn’t leave time to slow down when they see you on the road
- Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs
- Texting while driving, talking on the phone, and other kinds of distracted driving
- Reckless and aggressive driving
Whether you are involved in one of the exact scenarios above or have suffered from a different cause of the pedestrian accident, our legal team will be able to provide you with competent representation, no matter the reason.
Compensation after a pedestrian accident
Our accident attorneys for pedestrians are experts when it comes to obtaining compensation for accident victims. We begin by filing the appropriate legal complaint with the proper court to start the legal process. In some situations, it may be possible to negotiate directly with the insurance company for fair compensation. Regardless of how the process will be executed, our accident attorneys help you by taking the steps you need to advance your claim.
The average payout for a pedestrian hit by a car
Like any personal injury accident, it is difficult to pinpoint the exact average payout for the victim’s injuries. Your settlement will depend on a variety of factors, including the extent of your injuries and any other damages you have incurred. Accidents that result in minor or no injuries to the victim may only be worth a couple of thousand dollars, whereas a catastrophic injury could be worth millions. Your attorney will be able to provide you with a rough estimate of what you can expect to recover during your initial consultation.
Do I need a pedestrian accident lawyer?
While it’s not necessary to retain a pedestrian accident lawyer, it is highly recommended should you wish to recover both maximum compensation and justice for your injuries. Given our expertise in the field, we guarantee we’ll provide you with results you’ll appreciate!

Building your case
Working with our experienced pedestrian accident attorneys will allow you to benefit from our specialized process in which we successfully build your legal argument to obtain maximum compensation. During the legal discovery process, we take calculated steps to build strong evidence and craft our findings to work to our advantage.
First, our legal team focuses on gathering all the facts surrounding the incident, including the initial police or injury report. If possible, we may also investigate the actual scene of the accident. Next, we rely on our extensive network of experts, including accident reconstruction experts, medical specialists, and forensic experts, to help us develop the facts of your accident to prove our arguments in your favor. If necessary, it is common that we may also work with your physician to identify your prognosis and a complete care plan for recovery.
While you focus on recovering, we will file essential legal documents throughout your case, including the initial complaint, a summons, and motions, if necessary. Our attorneys also work to diligently and accurately value your claim and determine which damages you may be compensated for. We make sure to consider each type of damage, including economic and non-economic damages like pain and suffering.
Thoroughly gathering evidence and building our arguments allow us to successfully handle what is arguably the most important part of your lawsuit: negotiations with the other side in hopes of getting you a settlement before trial.

Adam S. Kutner reviews and testimonials
“I needed an attorney because I couldn’t deal with the accident on my own, so I needed someone else’s opinion about my accident.
Well I heard about Adam Kutner through an associate of mine and I chose to seek him because I heard of him before also, so I thought he would be the best option for me.
I was very happy with my settlement and it came quicker than I thought, in just a couple months I received a check in the mail.
When I recommend Adam Kutner I would tell them that the settlement comes very quickly, and he is very helpful with transportation and whatever else you may need.”
