Introduction: When the Crosswalk Becomes a Courtroom

Every day, people step out onto sidewalks and crosswalks, trusting that the road will respect them. But when a negligent driver shatters that trust—and a life—everything changes. The physical injuries may be immediate, but the legal and emotional fallout can last a lifetime. That’s when a pedestrian accident attorney becomes more than just a legal representative—they become your advocate, protector, and voice in a system that often prioritizes insurance companies over individuals.

At Moxie Law Group, we know what it takes to fight—and win—these cases. As Utah’s only female-led personal injury firm, and now with offices in Texas, we bring an unmatched blend of grit, compassion, and courtroom excellence to every case. If you’ve been injured as a pedestrian, it’s time you had attorneys with Moxie on your side.

The Stark Reality of Pedestrian Accidents

Pedestrian accidents are on the rise in the U.S. According to the Governors Highway Safety Association, more than 7,500 pedestrians were killed in 2022—a 40-year high. In states like Utah and Texas, where urban development is booming and traffic congestion is growing, the risks are escalating.

These accidents often result in catastrophic injuries, including:

Traumatic brain injuries (TBI)

Spinal cord damage

Internal bleeding

Fractured limbs and permanent disability

Unlike drivers, pedestrians don’t have a vehicle to shield them from harm. A split-second decision by a distracted or reckless driver can destroy someone’s life—and it often does.

Why You Need a Pedestrian Accident Attorney

When a pedestrian is struck by a vehicle, insurance companies rush in—but not to help the victim. Their goal is to minimize payouts, often by blaming the pedestrian, downplaying injuries, or dragging out the claim process.

This is where a pedestrian accident attorney plays a vital role. Here’s what a seasoned attorney can do:

Investigate the scene thoroughly
Attorneys gather traffic cam footage, eyewitness testimony, and police reports to reconstruct the incident.

Establish fault and liability
Whether it’s a distracted driver, a poorly designed intersection, or a lack of signage, proving negligence is key.

Maximize your compensation
From medical bills and lost wages to pain, suffering, and long-term disability, an attorney ensures no damages are overlooked.

Protect you from predatory insurance tactics
Experienced lawyers know how to counter the underhanded strategies insurers use to devalue claims.

Take your case to trial if necessary
Not all firms are willing or equipped to go to court—but Moxie Law Group is.

Common Legal Challenges After a Pedestrian Accident

1. Blame-Shifting

Drivers often claim the pedestrian “came out of nowhere” or was “jaywalking.” Police reports may not always tell the full story. A strong attorney challenges these narratives with facts, evidence, and witness testimony.

2. Underestimated Injuries

Many pedestrians suffer soft-tissue injuries or TBIs that don’t show up immediately. Insurance companies use this delay to dispute the seriousness of your injuries. A skilled pedestrian accident attorney ensures your medical history and prognosis are documented correctly and fully.

3. Delays in Compensation

Without legal representation, accident victims can wait months or even years for a fair settlement. Moxie Law Group’s legal team streamlines this process—pushing back against stall tactics and moving quickly toward resolution or trial.

Who Is Responsible? It's Not Always Just the Driver

It’s easy to assume the driver is always at fault. But in many pedestrian accidents, multiple parties can be liable, including:

Municipalities for failing to maintain crosswalks or install proper lighting

Property owners whose signage or landscaping obstructs visibility

Vehicle manufacturers if a malfunction contributed to the crash

This complexity is another reason hiring a specialized pedestrian accident attorney matters. At Moxie, we know how to dig deep and hold every responsible party accountable.

When to Call an Attorney (Hint: Immediately)

Time is critical after a pedestrian accident. Evidence can disappear, memories fade, and legal deadlines approach fast. Here’s when to call a pedestrian accident attorney:

Immediately after receiving emergency medical care

If you're contacted by an insurance adjuster

If the driver was uninsured or underinsured

If your injuries are significant or long-lasting

If fault is being disputed

Even if you’re unsure whether you have a case, a free consultation with Moxie Law Group can give you clarity and peace of mind.

What Compensation Can You Expect?

Every case is different, but victims of pedestrian accidents can typically seek damages for:

Emergency and ongoing medical treatment

Lost wages and reduced earning capacity

Pain and suffering

Emotional trauma

Permanent disability or disfigurement

Wrongful death (in fatal cases)

At Moxie, we don’t just settle—we secure justice. Our team evaluates the full impact of your injury, both now and in the future, to ensure you’re not left footing the bill for someone else’s recklessness.
