What Is My Pedestrian Accident Case Worth?
Every pedestrian accident case has a different value depending on how the accident happened and the effect on the plaintiff.
Some factors that will increase your case value include:
- Having a severe and permanent injury
- Significant medical treatment and needing ongoing treatment
- Your inability to work or earn income as before the accident
- A negative effect on your quality and enjoyment of life
- Significant emotional impact or trauma

What Kind Of Damages Are Available To Pedestrian Accident Victims?
Pedestrian accident victims can recover compensatory damages. There are two types of compensatory damages: economic damages and non-economic damages.
Economic Damages
Economic damages are tangible financial losses and may include:
- Emergency medical bills
- Surgery costs
- Ongoing medical treatment
- Lost wages
- Lost future earnings
- Rehabilitation or physical therapy
- Therapeutic medical devices
- Cost of medicine
- Property damage
- Out-of-pocket expenses
Economic damages can also include other types of monetary losses. As long as you can prove that it was directly related to the accident, you are entitled to recover it.
Non-Economic Damages
Non-economic damages are more complicated to value than economic damages and may include:
- Physical pain and suffering
- Mental anguish
- Mental illness like PTSD, anxiety, or depression
- Loss of enjoyment of life
- Loss of quality of life
- Loss of companionship
- Permanent disfigurement or scarring
We can help you calculate your non-economic damages based on our experience. It can be hard to estimate if you aren’t familiar with pedestrian accident cases. Call us to help you understand what you are entitled to recover.
How Much Does It Cost To Hire a Pedestrian Accident Lawyer?
Pedestrian accident lawyers charge contingency fees. A contingency fee is a payment depending on the outcome of the case. There is no set cost or flat fee for a pedestrian accident case.
If you lose the case and don’t recover any damages, you aren’t obligated to pay your lawyer. If you win the case and recover damages, you pay your lawyer a percentage of what you won. Usually, the percentage is between 33% and 40%.
The exact percentage usually varies depending on the work performed. Regardless, contingency fee arrangements tend to help plaintiffs. It aligns their interests with the lawyer and ensures that they can afford their legal bill.

How Do I Prove Negligence After a Pedestrian Accident?
Someone is negligent if they cause an accident because they breached their duty of care. This means that they acted in a way that a reasonably prudent person would not act.
There are four elements to every negligence claim:
- Duty of care
- Breach of duty of care
- Causation
- Damages
You must prove each element by a preponderance of the evidence. That means proving that it is more likely than not true.
You can do this by producing evidence that may include:
- Witness testimony
- Photographs
- Video Footage
- Medical records
- Bank statements
- Police reports
Negligence can be complicated. We can help you understand negligence and collect evidence to prove your case. This is the best way to maximize your compensation.
