Pedestrian accidents occur when vehicles strike people walking, jogging, or standing along roadways. These incidents happen in various circumstances:
Truckers exceeding hours-of-service limits or driving while exhausted, significantly slowing reaction times and decision-making abilities.
Trucking companies failing to adequately train drivers on safety protocols or putting inexperienced drivers in challenging situations.
Brake failures, tire blowouts, or steering malfunctions resulting from inadequate maintenance or inspection practices.
Unbalanced loads that shift during transport, causing jackknifing, rollovers, or loss of control in emergency situations.
Commercial drivers using phones, adjusting navigation systems, or completing paperwork while behind the wheel.
Truck drivers facing tight delivery deadlines who exceed speed limits or make dangerous maneuvers in traffic.
Pedestrian accident cases present unique legal challenges that demand knowledge and experience. When you’re struck by a vehicle, insurance companies often attempt to shift blame to the pedestrian or minimize serious injuries, leading to inadequate offers of compensation.
Our pedestrian accidents lawyers understand the nuances of these cases, including how to counter common defense tactics, properly value injuries, and address the long-term care needs that often result from pedestrian collisions.
When you choose Nirwan Law Corporation, our experienced pedestrian accidents attorneys will guide you through every step of the process:
Meet with one of our pedestrian accidents lawyers to discuss your case, review the circumstances of your accident, and understand your options. Our contingency fee structure means you pay nothing unless we win.
We collect evidence including police reports, witness statements, surveillance footage, and physical evidence from the scene.
We work with your healthcare providers to ensure all your injuries are thoroughly documented, creating a clear link between the accident and your condition.
After identifying all available coverage options, we prepare and submit claims to maximize the compensation you receive.
We prepare every case as if it will go to trial. If fair compensation isn’t offered, our pedestrian accidents attorneys will represent you through every stage of litigation.
Whether through settlement or court verdict, we help resolve outstanding medical liens, finalize paperwork, and ensure prompt payment of your funds.
A comprehensive pedestrian accident claim typically includes several types of compensation. Our pedestrian accidents lawyers will fight to secure damages for:
Even if you weren’t in a crosswalk or were partially at fault, you may still be entitled to significant compensation. British Columbia follows a “comparative negligence” system that allows injured parties to recover damages even when partially responsible.
Our pedestrian accidents lawyers will investigate thoroughly to show how the driver’s actions—like speeding or distraction—contributed to your accident.
After a pedestrian accident, access to proper medical care is critical. We can help connect you with medical providers willing to provide treatment on a lien basis, meaning they’ll wait for payment until your case resolves.
Additionally, we can help identify potential sources of interim financial assistance while your case proceeds, including benefits from your own insurance policies that may apply regardless of fault. Our team will work to ensure your medical needs are addressed while your claim progresses.
Most pedestrian accident cases take between 8-24 months to resolve. The timeline depends on the severity of your injury, how long your treatment takes, whether the insurance company cooperates, and if we need to go to court.
Cases with severe injuries requiring long-term care typically take longer. While we work efficiently, we never rush at the expense of getting you fair compensation. We will give you a realistic timeline based on your specific situation during your consultation.
At Nirwan Law Corporation, you pay nothing upfront. Our pedestrian accidents lawyers work on a contingency fee basis, meaning we only collect a fee if we successfully recover compensation for you.
