Pedestrian Accidents

Pedestrians are completely unprotected in collisions with motor vehicles, often resulting in catastrophic or life-threatening injuries. At Korte Law Firm, we understand the physical and financial toll these accidents take on victims and their families. We are committed to holding negligent drivers accountable and securing the maximum compensation for your recovery.

• Crosswalk & Intersection Accidents: Cases where drivers fail to yield the right-of-way to pedestrians legally crossing the street.

• Sidewalk & Off-Road Impacts: Representing victims hit by vehicles that lose control and veer onto sidewalks, lawns, or shoulders.

• Distracted & Drunk Driving: Holding drivers accountable for hitting pedestrians while texting, impaired, or otherwise inattentive.

• Back-over Accidents: Pursuing claims for injuries sustained in parking lots or driveways when a driver fails to check behind them.

Compensation for Pedestrian Victims

Because pedestrian injuries are often severe (such as traumatic brain injuries or spinal damage), we fight for comprehensive awards, including:

1. Immediate & Future Medical Bills: Coverage for emergency room care, surgeries, and lifelong rehabilitation.

2. Uninsured/Underinsured Coverage: Helping you file claims through your own insurance if the driver at fault has insufficient coverage or fled the scene.

3. Lost Income & Earning Capacity: Recovery for time missed from work and any permanent disability that prevents you from returning to your career.

4. Pain and Suffering: Compensation for the profound physical pain and emotional trauma caused by the accident.
