Can You Get Compensation After a Pedestrian Accident?
You may qualify for compensation to cover your losses if someone else caused your pedestrian accident through an act of negligence. A lawyer would need to show that:
- Someone owed you a duty of care
- The other party violated their duty to you
- The at-fault party directly caused your accident, injuries, and financial losses
For example, our team may help if a driver strikes you while you’re crossing the street or if a motorist jumps their vehicle onto the sidewalk and hits you. We can discuss what usually causes pedestrian accidents when you contact us for help.
Do Drivers Always Cause Pedestrian Accidents?
Sometimes, pedestrians cause accidents. For example, someone walking while looking at their phone could step out into the street in front of a vehicle without warning, causing a crash.
What happens if a pedestrian causes an accident? In this situation, the pedestrian’s insurance may need to cover the expenses associated with the crash. You can learn more about your options in this situation by reaching out to us.

What Types of Compensation Can You Receive After Your Accident?
Your pedestrian accident lawyer in Plymouth can assist you as you seek to recover the money you need to cover all the expenses you face after a collision. We can assist you with compensation for your:
Medical Expenses
Pedestrians have no protection from large vehicles in the event of an accident. These crashes often leave pedestrians with broken bones, spinal cord injuries (SCIs), concussions, and damage to internal organs.
Your lawyer can help you get payment for your emergency treatment, hospitalization, medications, necessary medical procedures, and physical therapy expenses.
Lost Pay
You may need time off work to heal from a pedestrian accident. If you need time off, your attorney may help you secure funds for your lost pay, any bonuses, and raises you missed. You may also get compensation for lost earning potential in some cases.
Pain and Suffering
Our team understands that pedestrian collisions can cause you emotional pain and mental anguish. We can help you get compensation to cover these non-economic losses because we believe in holding the at-fault party responsible for all effects of their actions.
You may also qualify for money to cover the loss of consortium and companionship in some situations.

Your Options to Secure Fair Compensation for Your Accident
You have two options available to secure maximum compensation after a pedestrian accident. In many circumstances, our legal team focuses on negotiations with the insurance company. We may bring you a settlement that covers all your losses.
We know how to go over the offers made by insurance companies to see if they cover all a client’s expenses. We can deal with negotiations and push back on subpar offers, giving you more time to recover.
If the insurance company will not agree to a fair deal, your attorney may advise you to file a personal injury lawsuit. You can rely on us to represent you in court when we handle your claim.
How Long do You Have to File a Pedestrian Accident Claim?
Typically, you have two years to seek compensation after a pedestrian collision. Indiana has a two-year personal injury statute of limitations that puts this limitation on your chance to secure damages to cover your losses.
We can immediately review your situation and provide details about your specific deadlines. We keep your claim moving once you hire us to represent you.
In many cases, we can resolve insurance negotiations in a few months after an accident. You can expect your claim to take longer if you file a lawsuit to secure compensation for your losses.
