What Our Clients Say
What Counts as a Pedestrian Injury Case?
Pedestrian injury claims arise when someone on foot is struck, injured, or killed due to a driver’s negligence or unsafe driving. These aren’t just traffic accidents, they’re preventable events that can cause lasting physical, emotional, and financial harm.
Common causes of pedestrian injuries include:
- Drivers failing to yield at crosswalks or intersections
- Distracted or impaired driving
- Speeding in school zones or residential areas
- Poor visibility or dangerous road design
- Unmarked or poorly maintained crosswalks
Whether you were walking to work in Columbus or crossing the street in downtown Newark, if a driver’s actions caused your injuries, we’ll help you hold them accountable.
What Compensation Can You Receive After a Pedestrian Accident?
After a construction accident, you might be told that workers’ compensation is your only option. That’s not always true.
Being hit by a car can change everything. You may be facing weeks or months of recovery—or injuries that never fully heal. A personal injury claim can help offset those losses and support your path forward.
In Ohio, you may be entitled to compensation for:
- Emergency medical care and hospital bills
- Ongoing rehabilitation or therapy
- Lost income or reduced earning capacity
- Physical pain and emotional suffering
- Long-term disability or mobility limitations
Ohio law gives you most people two years from the date of the accident to file a pedestrian injury claim. But the sooner we can investigate, the stronger your case can be.
We work with injured pedestrians across Marysville, Delaware, Coshocton, and beyond to recover the full value of their claims. That includes calculating both visible costs and the deeper impact your injury has on your life, now and in the future.
