Lawyer Helping Pedestrians Injured by Negligent Drivers in Leesburg

Personal Injury Car Accidents Bicycle Accidents Wrongful Death

Pedestrians have no protection in a collision with a motor vehicle. Accidents in which cars, trucks, or other vehicles strike people on foot often result in catastrophic injuries or wrongful deaths. In many cases, these accidents are caused by negligent drivers who fail to observe traffic laws or who do not exercise proper caution around crosswalks, sidewalks, and intersections.

While victims of pedestrian accidents may suffer serious harm, they can take steps to hold negligent drivers responsible for their injuries and other ways they have been affected. At Whitlock Law, we help injured pedestrians obtain compensation that will address their medical bills, lost income, and other damages. We will investigate the circumstances of a collision, establish liability by a negligent driver, and advocate for fair compensation that will help a victim move forward.

Common Causes of Pedestrian Accidents

Drivers may fail to recognize the rights of people who are walking on or near the road. They may engage in dangerous behaviors that put pedestrians at risk, and they may inflict serious injuries when they strike people with their vehicles. Examples of situations where pedestrians may be injured include:

Failure to Yield at Crosswalks: Drivers may not check to make sure the road is clear before proceeding through intersections or making turns. They may ignore traffic signals or stop signs. In these situations, pedestrians who are crossing the road may be struck and injured.
Distracted Driving: There are many factors that can take a driver's attention away from the road, causing them to fail to notice pedestrians and be unable to avoid collisions. Texting or other uses of phones, eating and drinking, or adjusting the radio or other in-car systems can increase the risks of pedestrian accidents.
Speeding: At higher speeds, drivers will have less time to respond when pedestrians enter the roadway. Those who violate speed limits will be less likely to be able to avoid striking pedestrians.
Backing Up in Parking Lots or Driveways: People who fail to check behind their vehicles may strike people who are walking by. Because of their small stature, children may escape the notice of drivers, and they may be seriously injured if a vehicle hits them while backing up.
Driving Under the Influence: Alcohol or drug impairment is a major factor in many pedestrian fatalities. Drivers who are intoxicated may experience vision problems that cause them to fail to see pedestrians. They may also experience physical impairments that cause them to lose control and hit people walking near the road.

Relentless in pursuit. Committed to the fight.

How Our Attorney Can Help Injured Pedestrians

Victims of pedestrian accidents may be able to recover compensation from negligent drivers. At Whitlock Law, we help our clients build strong claims by:

Investigating the Accident Scene: We can gather evidence such as surveillance footage, accident reconstruction reports, and witness statements.
Establishing Driver Negligence: We will work to demonstrate that a driver violated traffic laws or failed to exercise reasonable care. By establishing that a driver was liable for an accident, we can help ensure that they will be held responsible for a victim's injuries.
Documenting Damages: We work with medical experts and financial professionals to calculate the full extent of the injuries and damages a victim has suffered. We will address medical costs, lost earnings, pain and suffering, and other damages.
Handling Insurance Negotiations: We will speak to insurance adjusters and work to negotiate a fair settlement. We can protect clients against tactics that insurers may use to attempt to deny claims or reduce payouts. Through our negotiations, we will make sure settlement offers will fully address a victim's damages.
Litigation: In some cases, insurance companies may refuse to negotiate in good faith, or they may deny claims unfairly. We can take legal action to protect our clients' rights in these situations, and we will provide the legal representation needed to recover the full compensation our clients deserve.

Our considerable experience and focus on personal injury law can give you a significant advantage, because we will use our knowledge and skills to protect your best interests. If insurers do not offer full compensation through settlement negotiations, Attorney Whitlock is a force to be reckoned with in the courtroom.
