Common Pedestrian Crash Injuries

Pedestrian accidents happen quickly, often in familiar places where people walk every day. In Franklin County, collisions can occur at intersections, in crosswalks near schools or shopping areas, in residential neighborhoods, and along roads where there may be limited sidewalks or lighting. A brief mistake by a driver can cause life changing harm to someone on foot.

Common pedestrian accident injuries include:

  • Broken bones
  • Traumatic brain injuries (TBIs)
  • Internal injuries
  • Spinal cord injuries
  • Road rash
  • And more

Since people on foot have no protection, the injuries from these incidents can be severe. Some clients require surgery, inpatient rehabilitation, or long-term therapy. Even injuries that appear minor at first can interfere with work, driving, and family responsibilities.

Our pedestrian accident lawyer in Franklin County understands how to look at these details and how they are likely to be viewed in court. We work to build a clear picture of what happened so that fault is not decided on assumptions or quick judgments alone.

What to Do After a Pedestrian Accident

The moments and days after a collision can feel overwhelming. You may be in pain, worried about your job, and pressured to answer questions from insurers you do not trust. Taking a few key steps can help protect your health and your legal rights while you decide how to move forward.

Key steps to protect yourself after a pedestrian crash:

  1. Call 911: Emergency responders can provide medical assistance and help document the scene.
  2. Seek medical attention promptly: Early treatment and following medical recommendations can help protect your health and your claim.
  3. Report the collision to law enforcement: Requesting a copy of the police report may provide important evidence later.
  4. Document the scene: Photos of the roadway, vehicles, injuries, and surrounding conditions can help preserve details from the crash.
  5. Gather witness information: Names and contact details from witnesses may help support your version of events.
  6. Avoid detailed insurer conversations: Recorded statements or early discussions with adjusters may affect your claim.
  7. Speak with an attorney: Legal guidance from a Franklin County pedestrian accident lawyer can help you better understand your options and the next steps after a pedestrian accident.

When you reach out to Lowe Dreesen Miller, we can talk through what has already happened, what insurers have said, and what options you may have. Our goal is to make your next steps clearer and to take as much of the legal burden off your shoulders as we reasonably can.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does it cost to hire your firm?

We typically handle pedestrian injury cases on a contingency fee, so you do not pay upfront attorney fees. Our fees are lower than many competitors, which means more of any recovery can stay with you. We can explain exact percentages during your free consultation.

What will happen at my first consultation?

At your first consultation, we listen to what happened, review any documents you have, and answer your questions. We explain how the law may apply and how our fee structure works. You leave with a clearer understanding of your options, without pressure to make an immediate decision.

Can I still have a case if I was partly at fault?

You may still have a claim even if you were partly at fault. Missouri law often allows injured people to pursue recovery even when responsibility is shared. We review the details, such as where you were walking and driver behavior, before giving you guidance about your potential claim.

How long will my pedestrian case take?

Some cases resolve within a few months, and others take longer, especially if a lawsuit is filed. Timing depends on medical recovery, investigation, and how insurers respond. Our team works to move cases forward efficiently while making sure we understand your injuries before discussing settlement.

    Update to Estate Plans
    “I came into the office of David Lowe for changes to my living trust. I was very overwhelmed with my current situation and was at a loss as to where to turn. David was most patient in listening as to why I felt there was a need for changes. After several professional questions and explaining that estate plans often need updating, he explained how my estate plans could be changed to reflect my wishes. David and his legal assistant, Shaloma, were very professional and both work diligently to ensure that all my questions and concerns were answered. I am very happy that I chose David Lowe to review and modify my estate plans--living trust, will, financial power of attorney, and health care directive. His fee is very reasonable and the documents were prepared in a timely manner. Thank you, David and Shaloma.”
