Common Causes of Pedestrian Accidents
Pedestrian accidents can happen in a split second. Whether it’s a distracted driver running a red light or a hit and run accident in a residential neighborhood, victims often suffer serious injuries or worse. These incidents are commonly caused by:
- Speeding or reckless driving
- Distracted driving (texting, using GPS, etc.)
- Failing to yield at crosswalks or stop signs
- Impaired driving due to alcohol or drugs
- Poor visibility and unmarked crosswalks
- Motor vehicle accident involving large commercial trucks or buses
If a driver fails to follow traffic laws or ignores a pedestrian’s right of way, they can be held liable for the injuries caused.
Injuries Common in Pedestrian Accidents
Pedestrian accidents frequently result in severe injuries that require extensive and ongoing medical care. Some of the most common include:
- Spinal cord injuries and paralysis
- Traumatic brain injury
- Broken bones and fractures
- Internal bleeding and organ damage
- Severe burns, road rash, and disfigurement
- Permanent disability and long-term mobility loss
Even with immediate medical attention, many victims face months or years of treatment and rehabilitation. Our attorneys help you recover compensation for medical bills, future medical expenses, physical pain, and emotional trauma.
What Compensation Can Be Recovered?
Injured pedestrians may be entitled to comprehensive compensation for a variety of losses. A personal injury lawyer can help calculate both economic and non-economic damages, including:
- Medical expenses and medical bills related to the injury
- Lost wages and reduced earning capacity
- Ongoing medical care and future rehabilitation costs
- Pain, suffering, and emotional distress
- Fair compensation for permanent disability or disfigurement
- Wrongful death damages for family members who lost a loved one

Frequently Asked Questions
What should I do after a pedestrian accident?
Seek immediate medical attention. Contact a law enforcement agency to file an accident report, gather witness information if possible, and speak with a personal injury lawyer as soon as you’re able.
Can I file a claim if I was partially at fault?
Virginia follows a strict contributory negligence rule, meaning even slight fault may bar recovery. It’s critical to speak with a knowledgeable attorney to determine your legal options.
What compensation can I recover?
You may recover compensation for medical bills, lost wages, future medical expenses, emotional damages, and more. An attorney can help build your case and pursue the maximum compensation available.
Do I need to speak with the driver’s insurance company?
You are not required to speak directly with insurance companies. It’s best to have legal representation before discussing your case, as statements may be used to limit your compensation.
How long do I have to file a pedestrian accident claim?
Virginia law generally allows two years from the date of the accident to file a personal injury lawsuit. Missing this deadline may prevent you from recovering compensation.
