Do I Need a Pedestrian Accident Lawyer?

After a pedestrian accident, full recovery may seem impossible. As a pedestrian, you are likely dealing with severe injuries along with mounting medical bills and missed work, if not worse consequences. Meanwhile, the driver who failed to recognize your right of way and injured you is likely unharmed. This injustice, on top of the rest of your suffering, can be almost too much to bear.

While having to tend to your physical health, the idea of filing suit against the guilty driver may seem like more than you can handle. Juggling medical appointments, missed days at work, and all the various headaches that accompany a lawsuit may sway you not to pursue compensation from the driver. With the help of an experienced attorney, these otherwise daunting tasks will all be more manageable and completed effectively.

A helpful Des Moines injury lawyer at LaMarca Law Group, P.C. will be able to devote their time and energy towards the stressful suit while you focus on your physical and mental recovery.

Cases We Handle

In Iowa, pedestrians have the right of way in several situations, including:

When crossing a marked crosswalk
When crossing an unmarked crosswalk at an intersection
In driveways, parking lots, and alleys

In all other situations, a pedestrian must yield the right of way to drivers. However, even when pedestrians follow the laws and only cross when they are permitted to, accidents can happen. Drivers are expected to practice safe driving while on the road, including checking their surroundings and recognizing when a pedestrian has the right-of-way. Failure to recognize the right-of-way of a pedestrian is usually the result of:

Distracted driving, such as using a cell phone, eating, or drinking.
Speeding
Driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol, which impairs vision, judgment, reaction time, and basic driving skills.
Reckless and negligent driving, such as running red lights, disobeying traffic signs, and unsafe lane changes and turns

If you were injured in a pedestrian accident because a driver failed to yield you the right of way, a lawyer from LaMarca Law Group, P.C. can investigate your accident to see why and how it occurred. Even if you are unsure of whether you had the right of way or not, we can help determine whether you have a case and what your best legal options are.
