Personal Injury
Pedestrian Injury
When a driver’s inattention meets a person with no protection at all.
Overview
Understanding Pedestrian Injury cases
A pedestrian has no seatbelt, no airbag, and no steel frame. When a driver fails to yield, rolls through a crosswalk, or looks at a phone instead of the road, the person on foot absorbs all of it — and the injuries are often severe or fatal.
Drivers and their insurers frequently blame the pedestrian, and in Alabama, where any finding of fault can bar recovery entirely, that tactic is aggressive and immediate. Scene evidence, video, witness accounts, and reconstruction matter enormously in these cases.
We investigate quickly, push back on the blame-shifting, and document the true extent of your injuries and what they have taken from your life.
