Pedestrian Accident Lawyer

If you were injured in a pedestrian accident in Phoenix, hiring a knowledgeable lawyer is crucial. Pedestrian accidents can lead to severe injuries and complex legal claims. Our experienced attorneys at Lawyers For Less PLLC offer affordable and transparent legal services to help you navigate your case.

Common Issues in Pedestrian Accidents

Pedestrian accidents often result from driver negligence, poor road conditions, or traffic law violations. Under A.R.S. § 28-793, drivers must yield to pedestrians in crosswalks. Failure to do so can lead to serious injuries like fractures, head trauma, or spinal injuries. These accidents may involve complex factors such as the speed of the vehicle or the pedestrian's location at the time of the accident.

In Arizona, the concept of pure comparative fault means that if a pedestrian is found partially at fault for the accident, their compensation could be reduced by their percentage of fault. For example, if a pedestrian was jaywalking, this might be considered when determining fault and compensation.

It's important to avoid discussing the accident with insurance adjusters without legal representation, as they may use your statements against you to diminish your claim.

What Your Pedestrian Accident Claim May Be Worth

The value of your claim depends on several factors, including:

• Medical Costs: Current and future medical expenses, including rehabilitation and therapy.
• Lost Income: Wages lost during recovery and reduced earning capacity if you are unable to return to work at the same capacity.
• Pain and Suffering: Emotional distress and physical pain, which can vary significantly based on the severity of the injury.
• Property Damage: Compensation for personal belongings damaged in the accident.
• Loss of Enjoyment: If the injuries affect your ability to enjoy daily activities or hobbies.

Each case varies, and our attorneys will guide you through estimating your claim's value. For insights on pedestrian laws affecting your case, visit here.

Common Insurance Company Tactics

Insurance companies often employ various tactics to reduce the amount they have to pay. These may include:

• Offering a quick settlement that is lower than what you might receive with legal representation.
• Questioning the severity of your injuries or suggesting pre-existing conditions.
• Delaying the claims process to pressure you into accepting a lower offer.

Having an experienced attorney can help you navigate these tactics and work towards a fair settlement.

Pricing and Affordability

Legal fees can be a concern, but we offer transparent pricing with flat fees and payment plans. Our goal is to provide affordable representation without compromising quality. For personal injury claims, we work on a contingency fee basis, meaning you pay no fees unless we win your case. Explore our personal injury services for more details.
