If you or a loved one was injured while walking, crossing the street, or using a sidewalk, experienced legal representation can make a critical difference in your case.
Why Legal Representation Matters
Pedestrian accident claims are often complex and aggressively defended by insurance companies. Even when drivers are clearly at fault, insurers may attempt to shift blame onto the pedestrian to reduce or deny compensation. An experienced pedestrian accident lawyer can help by:
- Investigating the accident and preserving evidence
- Communicating with insurance companies on your behalf
- Identifying all liable parties
- Calculating the full extent of your damages
- Protecting your rights under Virginia law
Understanding Pedestrian Accidents
Pedestrian accidents occur when drivers fail to exercise proper care around people on foot. These incidents often happen in crosswalks, parking lots, residential areas, and busy intersections. Because pedestrians lack any physical protection, even low-speed collisions can result in serious pedestrian accident injuries such as broken bones, head trauma, spinal injuries, and internal damage. Common causes of pedestrian accidents include:
- Distracted driving, including texting or phone use
- Failure to yield at crosswalks
- Speeding or reckless driving
- Running red lights or stop signs
- Driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol
- Poor visibility or weather conditions

Frequently Asked Questions
Have you or a loved one been injured in a pedestrian accident? Here is some basic information to get you started before calling our pedestrian accident law firm:
- What Should I Do After an Auto Pedestrian Accident? – Seek medical attention immediately, report the accident to the police, document the scene if possible, gather witness information, and avoid speaking with insurance adjusters before consulting an attorney.
- How Long Do I Have to File a Pedestrian Accident Claim? – In most Virginia personal injury cases, you have two years from the date of the accident to file a claim. Missing this deadline can prevent you from recovering compensation.
- Can I Still Recover Damages If I Was Partially at Fault? – Virginia follows a contributory negligence rule. If you are found even partially at fault, you may be barred from recovering damages. An attorney can help challenge unfair fault allegations and protect your claim.
