Hit by a vehicle while walking?
Pedestrians struck by cars often suffer serious injuries through no fault of their own. You may be entitled to compensation — an attorney can evaluate your situation.
Sound familiar?
No protection at all
A pedestrian has nothing between them and the vehicle — injuries are often severe even at low speeds.
Whose insurance even applies?
The driver’s policy, your own auto policy, and other coverage may all be in play. It gets confusing fast.
Disputes over the crosswalk
Drivers and insurers may argue about signals, right of way, or where you were walking.
Hit-and-run situations
If the driver fled, you may still have options through your own or a family member’s coverage.
What compensation may cover
Every situation is different — nothing here is a promise of any outcome or amount. Depending on the facts and your state's law, compensation in cases like these may cover:
- Medical bills and ongoing treatment
- Lost wages during recovery
- Out-of-pocket expenses
- Pain and suffering
Worth knowing
Pedestrian injuries tend to be disproportionately serious because there is no vehicle structure absorbing the impact. Right-of-way rules, crosswalk laws, and available insurance coverage differ by state — an attorney can evaluate which rules and policies apply to what happened to you.
General information only — not legal advice, and not a prediction about any specific case. An attorney licensed in your state can evaluate your situation.

Common questions
I was hit outside a crosswalk. Do I still have options?
Possibly. Being outside a crosswalk does not automatically make a pedestrian at fault — drivers still owe a duty of care. An attorney can evaluate how your state’s rules apply.
The driver fled the scene. What now?
Hit-and-run situations may still involve recoverable claims — for example through uninsured motorist coverage. An attorney can evaluate what coverage may exist.
Whose insurance pays for a pedestrian’s injuries?
It depends on the state and the policies involved — potentially the driver’s liability coverage, your own auto policy, or others. An attorney can sort out what applies.
How much does this service cost?
Nothing — CaseSolo Connect is free for people looking for a lawyer. Participating attorneys pay us for advertising, which is why this site is attorney advertising. Whether and how you would pay an attorney is between you and any attorney you choose to hire.
Is this legal advice?
No. Nothing on this site is legal advice, and using it does not create an attorney-client relationship. We are a paid attorney matching and advertising service — not a law firm and not a lawyer referral service.
