Bucks County Pedestrian Accident Attorney
Pedestrians are among the most vulnerable people on the road. When a driver fails to pay attention, the results can be catastrophic — often leading to devastating injuries or even fatalities. Recovering from a pedestrian accident can be overwhelming, but you don’t have to face it alone.
At Wilk Law Firm, our Bucks County pedestrian accident attorneys are committed to protecting the rights of those injured by negligent motorists. We stand up to insurance companies and fight to secure the compensation victims need for medical care, lost wages, and long-term recovery.
Common Causes of Pedestrian Accidents in Bucks County
Pedestrian accidents can occur anywhere — at intersections, parking lots, or even in residential neighborhoods. Most are caused by driver negligence, including:
- Distracted driving, such as texting or using a phone
- Speeding, especially in high-traffic or residential areas
- Failure to yield at crosswalks or stop signs
- Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs
- Reckless turns or running red lights
- Poor visibility or lack of lighting at night
Regardless of the cause, when a driver’s carelessness leads to harm, they should be held accountable.
Common Injuries in Pedestrian Accidents
Because pedestrians have no protection in a collision, injuries are often severe or life-threatening. Common injuries include:
- Head and traumatic brain injuries (TBI)
- Spinal cord and back injuries
- Broken or shattered bones
- Internal organ damage and bleeding
- Crush injuries or amputations
- Permanent disability or paralysis
These injuries can lead to lifelong medical treatment, rehabilitation, and emotional trauma — all of which must be considered in your claim.
Compensation for Pedestrian Accident Victims
Victims of pedestrian accidents in Bucks County may be entitled to compensation for:
- Medical expenses (current and future)
- Lost income and diminished earning capacity
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional distress and trauma
- Loss of enjoyment of life
- Wrongful death damages (for families of fatal accident victims)
Our firm ensures that every aspect of your damages — both economic and non-economic — is properly documented and pursued.
Proving Negligence in a Pedestrian Accident Claim
To recover compensation, your attorney must prove that the driver or another party’s negligence caused your injuries. This involves showing that:
- The driver owed you a duty of care.
- The driver breached that duty by acting negligently or recklessly.
- That breach caused your accident and injuries.
- You suffered measurable damages as a result.
Our Bucks County pedestrian accident lawyers investigate each case thoroughly — gathering evidence such as traffic camera footage, eyewitness accounts, police reports, and accident reconstructions to build a strong case on your behalf.
