Delaware County Pedestrian Accident Attorney
Pedestrians have the right to feel safe on sidewalks, crosswalks, and roads throughout Delaware County. Unfortunately, negligent drivers often put lives at risk when they ignore traffic laws, drive distracted, or fail to yield. The aftermath of a pedestrian accident can be devastating — leaving victims with severe injuries, mounting medical bills, and lasting trauma.
At Wilk Law Firm, our Delaware County pedestrian accident lawyers are passionate about seeking justice for victims. We hold reckless drivers accountable and fight to secure the financial recovery you deserve so you can focus on healing and rebuilding your life.
Common Causes of Pedestrian Accidents in Delaware County
Pedestrian accidents can happen anywhere — near schools, shopping centers, or residential neighborhoods. Many are caused by:
- Distracted driving, such as texting or adjusting navigation systems
- Speeding or reckless driving in busy or residential areas
- Failure to yield at intersections or crosswalks
- Driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol
- Running red lights or stop signs
- Poor lighting or unsafe road design
In many cases, these crashes could have been avoided if drivers had been more cautious. Our firm works to uncover exactly what happened and who is responsible.
Common Injuries from Pedestrian Accidents
Because pedestrians are completely unprotected, the injuries they suffer are often catastrophic. Some of the most frequent include:
- Head and traumatic brain injuries (TBI)
- Spinal cord injuries and paralysis
- Broken bones and fractures
- Internal injuries and bleeding
- Severe lacerations, abrasions, or disfigurement
- Permanent disability or wrongful death
Recovery often requires extensive medical treatment, long-term rehabilitation, and emotional support. Our team ensures your claim reflects every aspect of your loss — both physical and emotional.
Compensation for Pedestrian Accident Victims
If you were hit by a vehicle in Delaware County, you may be entitled to compensation for:
- Medical bills and future treatment
- Lost income and reduced earning ability
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional distress
- Loss of enjoyment of life
- Wrongful death damages (if the accident was fatal)
At Wilk Law Firm, we pursue full and fair compensation — not just for immediate expenses, but also for the long-term impact these accidents have on your life.
Proving Negligence in a Pedestrian Accident Case
Winning a pedestrian accident case requires proving that someone else’s negligence directly caused your injuries. This includes showing:
- The driver or another party owed you a duty of care.
- They breached that duty by acting carelessly or recklessly.
- Their breach caused your injuries.
- You suffered damages as a result.
Our Delaware County pedestrian accident attorneys gather strong evidence — such as police reports, witness statements, medical records, and surveillance footage — to build the strongest possible case for you.
