The Law Offices of James A.H. Bell, PC at 2117 Middlebrook Pike, Knoxville, TN 37921, fights for pedestrian accident victims throughout East Tennessee. Their experienced attorneys emphasize that pedestrians have the right of way on sidewalks, crosswalks, and other paths, though motorists have increasingly become aggressive, impatient, and chaotic. Rather than holding at-fault drivers responsible, pedestrians frequently bear the consequences of accidents. The firm believes it’s unfair when impatient, inattentive, drunk, or distracted drivers disobey traffic laws and disregard pedestrian rights, causing catastrophic injuries to those walking or cycling. Tragically, approximately 40% of pedestrian fatalities involve children under four years old. Common pedestrian accident scenarios include crosswalk or intersection incidents, accidents involving vehicles backing out of driveways or alleys, school zone accidents, running and jogging accidents, hit-and-run incidents, parking lot accidents, and bicycle or motorcycle collisions. The firm warns that insurance companies often attempt to obtain recorded statements or quick settlements immediately after accidents to minimize liability for long-term medical expenses, lost wages, and other damages. For clients unable to visit their office, they offer home visits anywhere in East Tennessee. Call 865-637-2900 for a free consultation.

Whitley Law Firm provides experienced pedestrian accident representation from their office at 414 Pine St, Mount Vernon, WA 98273. Pedestrian injuries and deaths have increased in North Carolina, prompting the state to fund the Watch for Me N.C. program to enhance safety. When pedestrians are injured in car accidents, they can pursue legal action with assistance from qualified Chapel Hill personal injury lawyers. Working on contingency, the firm charges no fee unless monetary damages are recovered. The most dangerous conditions arise when pedestrians cross without crosswalks or walk along highways, as state law requires pedestrians to yield right-of-way to vehicles in these situations. North Carolina’s contributory negligence doctrine bars recovery if the pedestrian shares any fault, though the last clear chance doctrine may still permit claims under specific circumstances. The firm’s attorneys investigate accidents, question participants and witnesses, document expenses, calculate damages, prepare cases for trial, and negotiate settlements with insurance carriers when possible. Call (800) 785-5000 for a free consultation.
