Serving Camden, Burlington, Gloucester, Atlantic, Cumberland & Salem Counties
Walking should be one of the safest ways to get around — but in South Jersey, pedestrian accidents caused by careless drivers are far too common. These crashes often leave victims with severe or even life-threatening injuries.
At Lackey & Miller, LLC, we bring over 20 years of combined courtroom experience to stand up for pedestrians injured by negligent drivers. As former prosecutors and South Jersey trial lawyers, we know how to fight for maximum compensation.
Common Causes of Pedestrian Accidents
Drivers have a legal duty to watch for pedestrians, but many crashes happen because motorists fail to act responsibly. The most common causes include:
- Distracted driving (cell phones, texting, GPS use)
- Speeding in residential or high-traffic areas
- Failing to yield at crosswalks or intersections
- Running red lights or stop signs
- Driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol
- Unsafe turns or backing up without checking
Pedestrians have no protection in a collision with a vehicle, making these accidents especially dangerous.
Injuries in Pedestrian Accidents
Even low-speed impacts can cause catastrophic harm. Common injuries include:
- Broken bones and fractures
- Traumatic brain injuries (TBI)
- Spinal cord injuries and paralysis
- Internal bleeding and organ damage
- Severe cuts, bruises, and road rash
- Wrongful death
These injuries often require extensive medical treatment, rehabilitation, and long-term care.
Compensation for Pedestrian Accident Victims
If you’ve been hit by a car while walking, you may be entitled to compensation for:
- Emergency medical bills and ongoing treatment
- Lost wages and loss of future earning capacity
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional trauma
- Loss of enjoyment of life
- Wrongful death damages (for surviving family members)
We work with medical experts and accident reconstruction professionals to prove fault and build the strongest possible case.
