Delaware Pedestrian Accident Lawyers
Every responsible pedestrian takes precautions such as looking out for traffic and crossing the street at designated crosswalks. Unfortunately, negligent or reckless driving behaviors can negate even the most dedicated efforts to remain safe when on or near the roadway. Pedestrian accidents, though less frequently considered than vehicle-on-vehicle collisions, occur daily in the United States and may cause serious injuries or death. Each year there are thousands of pedestrian fatalities caused by car wrecks.
If you have been injured by a motor vehicle while you were traveling on foot, then you may be entitled to pursue financial compensation for your injuries. A skilled and experienced attorney can help to ensure that you have the resources that you need for a swift recovery.

Common Pedestrian Accident Injuries
While drivers and their passengers may suffer some injuries in a crash involving pedestrians, they are of course shielded by the carriage of the vehicle, seatbelts, and other safety features. A pedestrian, by contrast, has nothing but his or her clothing to insulate against the impact. This leaves an individual who is on foot incredibly vulnerable to all manner of injuries. The following are some common pedestrian accident injuries:
- Traumatic brain injuries
- Spinal cord injuries
- Severe abrasions
- Severe contusions
- Severe lacerations
- Fractured bones
- Internal organ damage
No one should have to suffer injuries like these due to another person’s negligence. If you have been harmed by a careless driver or other party, our Delaware pedestrian accident attorneys are ready to fight for you.
