A pedestrian struck by a vehicle absorbs the full force of the impact. Injuries are frequently severe: fractures, head trauma, internal injuries, and long hospital stays. Crosswalks, parking lots, and school zones are common accident locations.

Drivers in Utah must yield to pedestrians in crosswalks and exercise due care to avoid hitting people on foot, yet distracted and inattentive driving keeps putting walkers at risk.

How Uintah Basin Law Group Helps

Our firm has real results in this area, including a $1,300,000 settlement in a pedestrian and auto accident case. We investigate the collision, secure camera footage and witness statements, and take over all dealings with the driver's insurer.

Insurers often argue the pedestrian appeared suddenly or was outside the crosswalk. We push back with evidence and make sure Utah's comparative fault rules are applied fairly, not used as an excuse to underpay you.

Past results do not guarantee future outcomes. Each case is unique.
