Pedestrian Accidents

Phoenix, Arizona, Pedestrian Accident Lawyer

There is little a careful pedestrian can do to avoid being hit by a careless or drunken driver. When an auto does hit a pedestrian, skateboarder, or roller-blader, the individual has little chance against a vehicle that weighs several tons—the pedestrian is likely to suffer a serious injury, such as brain damage or a crushed pelvis, or even death.

On average, a pedestrian is injured or killed in a traffic accident every 111 minutes somewhere in the United States. Even a pedestrian who is careful and using a crosswalk, even one in a school zone, can do little to avoid an accident.

It is extremely important to hire a well-qualified lawyer as soon as possible after a pedestrian accident so evidence can be preserved and while witness's memories are fresh. At Alex & Gaxiola, our Phoenix, Arizona, personal injury law firm, attorneys have extensive experience in representing victims, and families of victims, in pedestrian accident injury claims. If you would like to discuss an accident claim with one of our lawyers, please contact our office to arrange a free consultation.

Auto-pedestrian accidents often require assembling a team of leading experts that understand pedestrian accidents, including accident reconstructionists, doctors, vocational rehabilitation specialists and economists. Pedestrian fatalities far exceed those of cyclists or skateboarders—and a high proportion of those killed are children. If your family has lost a loved one, our attorneys will call on specialists to demonstrate to a jury the full extent of your loss. We will be prepared to hold a driver responsible, even if a child was jaywalking.

As a pedestrian victim, you should know that your motor vehicle insurance (on the car or truck parked in your garage) may compensate you for your injuries and economic losses without increasing your premiums. Our lawyers will help you get compensation for property damage, medical bills, lost wages, past and future pain and suffering, and for permanent injuries, scarring, and disfigurement.

From our offices in North Phoenix, Scottsdale/Paradise Valley, Central Phoenix, Glendale, and Mesa/Tempe/Chandler, our attorneys represent clients in mediation, arbitration, trials, and appeals. For select cases the attorneys will travel throughout Nevada, Utah, Colorado, New Mexico, Texas, and California to represent pedestrian accident victims and their families.
