Pedestrian Accident Attorney in PA

Personal Injury Lawyer Helping Injured Victims Throughout Pennsylvania Get Compensation for Their Injuries

Pedestrian accidents often occur rather unexpectedly and can lead to particularly severe injuries given that a pedestrian likely has no protective equipment or means of shielding himself from injury. Pennsylvania law entitles pedestrian-victims to damages when they have been injured due to the negligence, recklessness, or intentional acts of another — whether the defendant was a bicyclist, driver, or simply another pedestrian.

Though pedestrian accidents may initially seem straightforward, further investigation is likely to reveal new complications, such as additional defendants (for example, the city may be implicated if improperly maintained signage contributed to your injuries) and comparative fault issues (for example, if you contributed to your own injuries in some manner). Given these inevitable complications, it’s important to work with a skilled PA pedestrian accident attorney who has years of experience in successfully litigating such cases. To get connected today with a Pennsylvania personal injury lawyer, call The Law Office of Mark A. Smith at (412) 567-9598 for a free consultation with lead Attorney Smith.

Negligence Leading to Pedestrian Accidents in PA

There are several different parties whose negligence may contribute to a pedestrian accident and resultant injuries.

Negligent acts and omissions of a driver may include:

  • Intoxicated driving
  • Speeding
  • Failure to obey traffic signals
  • Inattentive or distracted driving
  • Failure to yield right-of-way to pedestrians in crosswalks
  • Making an illegal turn

Negligent acts and omissions of a property owner (such as the city) may include:

  • Improperly maintained roadways
  • Inadequate signage
  • Negligent design of traffic signals
  • Poor visibility of crosswalk
  • Failure to warn of inherent dangers to pedestrians
  • Poor lighting

As litigation is pursued and the investigation reveals new and potentially liable parties, additional defendants may be brought in.
