Hurt While Walking? You Deserve Justice—and We’re Here to Help You Get It
Being struck by a car is one of the most terrifying and traumatic things that can happen to someone. For pedestrians, there’s virtually no protection—just the raw force of a vehicle against the human body. The result? Often devastating injuries that change a life in an instant.
At Rathbun, Cservenyak & Kozol LLC, we understand how overwhelming it is to be injured in a pedestrian accident. You may be in pain, unable to work, and wondering how you’ll manage mounting medical bills. We're here to help you take the next step—toward recovery, stability, and justice.
The Truth About Pedestrian Accidents
Most pedestrian accidents are entirely preventable. They happen when drivers aren’t paying attention to their surroundings—checking a phone, speeding through an intersection, or simply failing to yield the right of way.
While drivers often walk away unscathed, pedestrians suffer the consequences.
Pedestrian safety laws exist to protect people on foot, but drivers don’t always follow them. If you’ve been hit, you may be entitled to financial compensation—and we can help you fight for every dollar you're owed.
What Can You Recover After a Pedestrian Accident?
The injuries you suffer in a pedestrian accident may impact every aspect of your life—from your health to your livelihood. That’s why it’s important to understand the full scope of your damages before accepting any insurance settlement.
We help our clients recover compensation for:
-
Medical Expenses—Now and in the Future
Emergency care is just the beginning. Many victims need ongoing treatments, surgeries, therapy, or assistive devices for months or years to come. We calculate future care costs to ensure you're fully covered. -
Long-Term and Catastrophic Injury Care
Serious injuries like spinal cord damage or traumatic brain injuries may require lifelong care or rehabilitation. We work to secure compensation for the long-term support you need. -
Lost Wages and Reduced Earning Capacity
If you’re too hurt to work now—or can’t return to your job long-term—we’ll fight to recover the income you’ve lost, and may continue to lose in the future. -
Pain and Suffering
Not all damages can be measured in dollars. You may be entitled to compensation for emotional trauma, loss of enjoyment of life, and the overall toll the accident has taken on your wellbeing. -
Property Damage
If personal items like your phone or laptop were damaged in the crash, those costs can be included in your claim.
Every pedestrian accident is unique. We take the time to understand your specific injuries, needs, and goals—so we can pursue the maximum compensation you deserve.
Why You Shouldn’t Talk to the Insurance Company Alone
After your accident, the driver’s insurance company may contact you quickly—and offer what seems like a fast and easy settlement. But this initial offer is rarely enough to cover your real, long-term needs.
Don't settle for less than you deserve.
Our team at Rathbun, Cservenyak & Kozol LLC knows how insurance companies operate, and we’re prepared to push back on lowball offers. We conduct a thorough investigation into your accident, gathering the evidence needed to prove negligence and build the strongest case possible.
