Pedestrian Accident Lawyers in Phoenix, Arizona

Pedestrian accidents can be caused by a multitude of things, whether it is due to negligence, drunk driving, or a mechanical failure. Numerous auto accidents occur every day in Phoenix. Unfortunately, some of the most serious injuries occur when a pedestrian is struck by a vehicle. These accidents can regrettably cause a person serious pain, discomfort, permanent emotional and physical damage, and, possibly, death.

Our Pedestrian Accident Lawyers have experience in all aspects of pedestrian accidents, which can include a variety of complex issues. Most often, a pedestrian accident is the result of a negligent driver or a defect in the production or design of an automobile.

Pedestrian Accident Injuries

Unfortunately, these accidents can potentially cause a person pain, permanent emotional and physical damage, and a great amount of medical expenses. Our Pedestrian Accident Lawyers work to obtain compensation for the injuries the victim has sustained from being involved in a pedestrian accident. These injuries include the following:

After a Pedestrian Accident

Numerous insurance coverage issues can come into effect when a pedestrian accident occurs. For example, an injured pedestrian's own automobile insurance coverage can come into effect despite not driving their car. Our Pedestrian Accident Lawyers can advise you when a complex web of legal issues arises due to a pedestrian accident. After your accident, it is vitally important that our Pedestrian Accident Lawyers become involved as soon as possible. This promptness will allow us to begin an immediate investigation, preserve evidence, and, if necessary, prepare your case for presentation in court.

Claims Involving Minor Children

When a minor (someone under 18 years of age) has a personal injury claim, in many cases, there is an extra set of procedures that apply to protect the interests of the minor. Specifically, the minor, usually through their attorney, will petition the probate court for approval of the minor settlement. This includes the amount of the settlement, the medical expenses to be paid from the settlement, the attorney's fees and costs, and the net settlement for the minor claimant. A more detailed explanation of this process is explained on our Minor Child Injury Pages.

Claims against Government Agencies or Public Entities

When a government or public employee or agency is negligent and causes an injury, there is a markedly different process involved as compared to a claim against an individual or private business. There is a much shorter time frame to bring a claim and a lawsuit. Therefore, there is an increased urgency to obtain legal counsel to timely submit a claim against a government agency or public entity. A more detailed explanation is available on our Government or Public Entities Claims Pages.

Litigation Process

We are able to resolve the overwhelming majority of our cases relatively promptly and without ever having to go to court. However, there are a number of reasons why we would recommend litigation to our clients. When that occurs, our office will thoroughly explain the litigation process, including the risks, benefits, and how it relates to your case before we file litigation. For more detailed information, please review our Litigation Process Pages.
