Pedestrian Accidents

Pedestrian accidents are all too common and can lead to devastating injuries and overwhelming challenges for victims. Navigating the aftermath of such an accident—securing medical care, managing insurance, and pursuing compensation—can be difficult to do alone. For those involved, the demands are numerous, including obtaining insurance information, attending medical appointments, and handling medical expenses and insurance disputes.

At Okun Law PLLC, we understand the complex and often emotional journey that pedestrian accident victims face. Our team is dedicated to helping you take back control of your life by securing the compensation you deserve and guiding you through each step of the legal process. 

Understanding Pedestrian Accident Claims
In pedestrian accident claims, it’s critical to establish fault and show that another party’s negligence caused the injuries sustained. At Okun Law PLLC, we’re here to handle the complexities for you. Our attorneys gather evidence, communicate with insurance companies, and work to calculate the full scope of damages—from medical expenses to lost wages and emotional distress—so you can focus on recovery. 

Common Causes of Pedestrian Accidents
Pedestrian accidents are often the result of preventable behaviors, including:

1. Distracted Driving: Drivers not fully focused on the road due to texting, eating, or other distractions.

2. Speeding: Excessive speed reduces a driver’s ability to stop in time, posing a significant risk to pedestrians.

3. Failure to Yield Right of Way: Drivers must respect pedestrian crosswalks and signals; failure to do so can have life-altering consequences.

4. Impaired Driving: Alcohol and drug use impair a driver’s reactions and judgment, leading to dangerous scenarios for pedestrians.

5. Poor Visibility: Low light, weather conditions, or poorly lit areas can make it difficult for drivers to spot pedestrians, increasing accident risk.
