Berks County Pedestrian Accident Attorney
Walking should be one of the safest ways to travel, but for many in Berks County, it can be dangerous when drivers fail to pay attention. Pedestrian accidents often result in life-changing injuries, costly medical bills, and emotional trauma for victims and their families.
At Wilk Law Firm, our Berks County pedestrian accident attorneys are dedicated to fighting for justice on behalf of those injured due to negligent or reckless driving. We hold at-fault parties accountable and pursue maximum compensation to help victims rebuild their lives.
Common Causes of Pedestrian Accidents in Berks County
Pedestrian accidents are almost always preventable. They happen when drivers ignore traffic laws or fail to exercise proper caution. Common causes include:
- Distracted driving, such as texting or using a phone behind the wheel
- Failure to yield at crosswalks or intersections
- Speeding and reckless driving
- Running red lights or stop signs
- Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs
- Poor visibility or lack of lighting at night
- Unsafe or improperly maintained roadways
No matter how your accident occurred, our attorneys will thoroughly investigate to identify who was responsible and build a strong case for recovery.
Severe Injuries in Pedestrian Accidents
Because pedestrians have no physical protection in collisions with vehicles, their injuries are often catastrophic. Some of the most common include:
- Traumatic brain injuries (TBI)
- Spinal cord and back injuries
- Broken or crushed bones
- Internal bleeding and organ damage
- Amputations or disfigurement
- Permanent disability or paralysis
These injuries often require long-term medical care and can lead to lasting financial and emotional burdens. Our firm ensures that every detail of your suffering is accounted for in your claim.
Compensation for Pedestrian Accident Victims
If you’ve been injured in a pedestrian accident, you may be entitled to recover compensation for:
- Medical expenses and rehabilitation costs
- Lost income and future earning capacity
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional distress
- Loss of enjoyment of life
- Wrongful death damages (for families who’ve lost loved ones)
At Wilk Law Firm, we fight to recover both economic and non-economic damages so our clients can move forward with security and dignity.
Proving Negligence in a Pedestrian Accident Case
To succeed in a pedestrian accident claim, it must be proven that another party’s negligence caused your injuries. This typically involves showing that:
- The driver owed you a duty of care as a pedestrian.
- That duty was breached through negligent behavior.
- The breach caused your injuries.
- You suffered financial and physical damages as a result.
Our Berks County pedestrian accident lawyers gather crucial evidence — including police reports, surveillance footage, medical records, and expert testimony — to build a strong, evidence-based case on your behalf.
