Garcia Sheppard represents clients injured in crosswalk collisions, parking lot accidents, hit-and-runs, rideshare crashes, and other pedestrian accident claims.
Many pedestrian accidents happen when drivers fail to yield, run red lights, make unsafe turns, or overlook people crossing the street. Insurance companies may dispute fault, even when you have the right of way. This makes evidence like police reports, traffic camera footage, and witness statements critical to the success of your claim.
Pedestrians are often injured in parking lots, driveways, apartment complexes, and commercial properties when drivers back up or fail to watch for people on foot. Even low-speed collisions can cause broken bones, head trauma, and other serious injuries when a pedestrian is knocked to the ground or run over.
If the driver leaves the scene, you may still have options. Garcia Sheppard investigates available evidence, searches for witnesses or surveillance footage, and reviews any uninsured or underinsured motorist coverage that may apply to your claim.
Texting while driving, speeding, impaired driving, failing to yield, and ignoring traffic signals are all common causes of pedestrian accidents. Our pedestrian accident lawyers gather the evidence needed to prove driver negligence and hold the responsible party accountable.
Pedestrian accidents involving Uber, Lyft, and other rideshare vehicles often involve multiple insurance policies. Coverage varies depending on whether the driver was waiting for a ride request, traveling to pick up a passenger, or transporting a passenger at the time of the collision.
Because pedestrians have no protection in a collision, they often suffer severe injuries that require extensive medical treatment and lengthy recoveries. The most serious cases can lead to lifelong disabilities, lost earning capacity, and ongoing care.
