Montgomery County Pedestrian Accident Attorney
Every day, pedestrians in Montgomery County face the risk of being struck by careless or distracted drivers. Whether crossing the street, walking to work, or simply enjoying a stroll, pedestrians are highly vulnerable when drivers fail to follow traffic laws. The aftermath of these accidents often leaves victims facing severe injuries, financial stress, and emotional trauma.
At Wilk Law Firm, our Montgomery County pedestrian accident attorneys fight to protect victims’ rights and pursue full and fair compensation. We take on negligent drivers and insurance companies to ensure our clients are not left bearing the burden of someone else’s mistake.
Common Causes of Pedestrian Accidents in Montgomery County
Pedestrian accidents can happen anywhere, from busy intersections to quiet neighborhood streets. The most common causes include:
- Distracted driving, such as texting or using a phone while behind the wheel
- Failure to yield at crosswalks or intersections
- Speeding and reckless driving
- Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs
- Ignoring traffic signals or stop signs
- Low visibility conditions or poor lighting
- Unsafe or poorly maintained roadways
In each of these scenarios, drivers have a legal duty to operate their vehicles safely and protect those sharing the road. When they fail to do so, serious accidents can occur — and victims deserve justice.
Common Injuries in Pedestrian Accidents
Pedestrians have no protection against the force of a vehicle, which means injuries are often catastrophic. Common injuries include:
- Traumatic brain injuries (TBI)
- Spinal cord and neck injuries
- Broken bones and fractures
- Internal bleeding and organ damage
- Severe lacerations or crush injuries
- Amputations or permanent disability
The impact of these injuries often extends far beyond physical pain, affecting every part of a victim’s life — from their ability to work to their emotional well-being.
Compensation Available for Pedestrian Accident Victims
If you’ve been injured in a pedestrian accident, you may be entitled to compensation for:
- Medical expenses (hospital bills, rehabilitation, and ongoing care)
- Lost wages and reduced earning potential
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional trauma and mental anguish
- Loss of quality of life
- Wrongful death damages (for families of fatal accident victims)
Our Montgomery County pedestrian accident lawyers work tirelessly to calculate the full scope of your losses and fight for every dollar you deserve.
Proving Negligence in a Pedestrian Accident Case
To recover compensation in a pedestrian accident claim, your attorney must prove that another party’s negligence caused your injuries. This means showing that:
- The driver owed you a duty of care.
- That duty was breached through negligent or reckless behavior.
- The breach caused your accident and injuries.
- You suffered actual damages as a result.
Our firm investigates thoroughly — collecting police reports, witness statements, medical records, traffic footage, and accident reconstructions to build a compelling case.
