Pedestrian Accident Attorney

Pedestrian Accident Attorneys at Ironclad Injury Law

Pedestrian accidents are some of the most devastating incidents that can occur on our roads. Unlike drivers or passengers in vehicles, pedestrians have no protection when struck by a vehicle, often resulting in severe injuries or even fatalities. At Ironclad Injury Law, we understand the profound impact these accidents can have on victims and their families. If you or a loved one has been involved in a pedestrian accident, you need a legal team that can navigate the complexities of these cases and secure the compensation you deserve. Our pedestrian accident attorneys are committed to providing top-notch legal representation to clients in Omaha, Des Moines, Kansas City, St. Louis, and South Florida.

Why You Need a Pedestrian Accident Attorney

Pedestrian accidents are often catastrophic due to the sheer force of impact involved. Victims may suffer from life-altering injuries, such as traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, broken bones, and more. These injuries can lead to extensive medical bills, loss of income, and significant pain and suffering. To ensure that you receive the compensation you need to cover these costs, it’s crucial to have an experienced pedestrian accident attorney by your side.

At Ironclad Injury Law, our attorneys have extensive experience handling pedestrian accident cases. We understand the unique challenges that come with proving liability and securing fair compensation in these cases. Our team is dedicated to helping you recover the maximum compensation for your injuries, including medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other damages.

How Pedestrian Accident Cases Are Proven

Proving liability in a pedestrian accident case can be challenging, but it is crucial to securing the compensation you deserve. Our attorneys at Ironclad Injury Law employ a comprehensive approach to building your case, ensuring that all evidence is thoroughly examined and presented effectively.

1. Gathering Evidence

The first step in proving liability is gathering evidence from the accident scene. This may include:

• Accident Reports: Police reports can provide valuable information about the circumstances of the accident, including statements from witnesses and the drivers involved.
• Witness Statements: Eyewitnesses can offer crucial testimony about how the accident occurred, helping to establish fault.
• Surveillance Footage: In many cases, nearby businesses or traffic cameras may have captured the accident on video, providing clear evidence of what happened.
• Photographs and Videos: Photos and videos of the accident scene, the vehicles involved, and your injuries can be powerful evidence in proving liability.

2. Reconstructing the Accident

In some cases, it may be necessary to reconstruct the accident to determine how it occurred. Our attorneys work with accident reconstruction experts who can analyze the evidence and create a detailed reconstruction of the accident. This can help demonstrate how the driver’s actions led to the accident and your injuries.

3. Establishing Negligence

To win a pedestrian accident case, you must prove that the driver was negligent. This means showing that the driver failed to exercise reasonable care and that this failure directly caused the accident and your injuries. Common examples of driver negligence in pedestrian accidents include:

• Distracted Driving: Texting, talking on the phone, or other distractions that take the driver’s attention away from the road.
• Speeding: Driving at an unsafe speed, especially in areas with high pedestrian traffic.
• Failure to Yield: Failing to yield the right of way to pedestrians at crosswalks or intersections.
• Driving Under the Influence: Operating a vehicle while under the influence of drugs or alcohol.

Our attorneys will gather and present evidence to demonstrate the driver’s negligence and hold them accountable for their actions.

Types of Pedestrian Accident Cases We Handle

At Ironclad Injury Law, we handle a wide range of pedestrian accident cases, including:

• Crosswalk Accidents: Accidents that occur when a pedestrian is struck while legally crossing the street in a crosswalk.
• Intersection Accidents: Accidents that occur at intersections, often due to drivers failing to yield or running red lights.
• Hit-and-Run Accidents: Accidents where the driver flees the scene, leaving the pedestrian injured and without help.
• Parking Lot Accidents: Accidents that occur in parking lots, where drivers may not be paying attention to pedestrians.
• School Zone Accidents: Accidents involving children in school zones, where drivers are required to exercise extra caution.

What to Do After a Pedestrian Accident

If you are involved in a pedestrian accident, the actions you take immediately afterward can significantly impact your ability to recover compensation. Here’s what you should do:

1. Seek Medical Attention: Your health and safety are the top priority. Even if you feel fine, it’s essential to get checked out by a medical professional, as some injuries may not be immediately apparent.
2. Document the Scene: If possible, take photos of the accident scene, including the vehicle that struck you, your injuries, and any relevant signs or signals.
3. Gather Information: Collect the contact information of the driver, any witnesses, and the responding police officers.
4. Report the Accident: File a police report and notify your insurance company about the accident, but be cautious about providing too much information until you’ve spoken with an attorney.
5. Contact a Pedestrian Accident Attorney: Pedestrian accident cases are complex, and it’s crucial to have an experienced attorney on your side from the start. Contact Ironclad Injury Law at (402) 541-5867 or email us at info@ironcladinjurylaw.com for a free consultation.
