What to Do After Your Pedestrian Accident in Prattville

Immediately after your accident, you should check yourself for injuries and see if you can move to a safe location. If you cannot move, stay put. Call for emergency services if you can, or ask someone else to call for you. While you wait, you can

  • Take pictures and videos of the accident scene
  • See if there are any cameras we can use later
  • Record what you remember before being hit
  • Exchange contact information with eyewitnesses and the driver

When the police arrive, provide them with what you know, but don’t make assumptions or accusations. You should inform the insurance companies about the accident, too, but do not admit fault.

If you have not gone to the emergency room, see your doctor as soon as possible and follow their orders entirely.

Finally, contact us. We can speak on your behalf and start developing a personal injury case for you while you recover.

Our Prattville Pedestrian Accident Attorney Will Investigate and Develop Your Collision Case

Pedestrian accidents are frequently the fault of a careless or reckless motorist. Alabama law protects pedestrians in areas where motor vehicles and pedestrians cross paths, such as crosswalks and intersections. When a driver violates a traffic law meant to protect pedestrians, this can cause a collision and serious injuries for the individual on foot.

Some of the causes of pedestrian collisions include:

  • Failing to stop for a pedestrian in the crosswalk
  • Failure to yield when turning left across traffic
  • Failure to yield when turning right
  • Failure to look for pedestrians before turning into or out of a parking lot or driveway
  • Failure to stop for a traffic signal when required (running a red light)

Contributing factors to these accidents include:

  • Speeding: Drivers who are speeding have less time to see and react to a pedestrian crossing the road.
  • Distracted Driving: Distracted driving may prevent the driver from seeing someone crossing the street.
  • Drunk or Drugged Driving: Drugs and alcohol can impair decision-making and slow reaction time, leading to an accident.
  • Aggressive Driving: Aggressive driving behaviors, such as speeding or changing lanes quickly, can make it more difficult to see and react to a pedestrian.
  • Drowsy Driving: Drowsy driving can be as dangerous as drunk driving since it slows reaction time and impairs good decision-making ability.

Our attorney investigates these crashes to determine what happened, who is at fault, and what led to the collision. Strong evidence from this investigation often allows our team to negotiate or litigate successfully and recover the compensation our client needs.

What Damages Can a Prattville Pedestrian Crash Lawyer Pursue in Your Case?

Each case is unique. Victims have unique injuries and require personalized treatment plans to help them heal. Those hurt in Prattville receive care at Prattville Baptist Hospital, but others may require care at a trauma center, such as the Level II trauma center at Baptist Medical Center South in Montgomery, AL.

Serious and even catastrophic injuries are not unusual for pedestrians hit by negligent drivers. These life-altering injuries affect all aspects of their lives and require significant compensation to cover the costs. When an injured pedestrian has to recover from a brain injury or has lasting impairments because of a spinal cord injury, their financial stress may make it difficult to focus on treatment, rehabilitation, and physical recovery.

This is where our Prattville pedestrian accident lawyer steps in. We take on the legal case so our client can work fully on their injury recovery. We document damages and seek fair compensation for a wide range of expenses and losses, including:

  • Medical care costs, today and in the future
  • Lost income for time missed at work
  • Diminished earning ability for lasting injuries and new impairments
  • Repair or replacement of damaged personal property
  • Related expenses
  • Pain and suffering and other losses that are intangible in nature

Let our team assess your case and explain your options.

Case Results

  • $11,500,000

    Our client’s vehicle stalled on the highway in the Atlanta metro area due to a mechanical issue. They activated their hazard signals and waited for help. A commercial 18-wheeler approached but failed to notice the stalled car and slammed into it from behind. The gas tanker overturned, spilling 9,000 gallons of fuel and igniting a fire that engulfed both vehicles. Both the truck driver and our client lost their lives. The trucking company argued that the crash was partly our client’s fault because their vehicle had stalled. We countered by showing that commercial drivers have a heightened duty of care, including knowing how to safely react when approaching a disabled vehicle, and that the truck driver failed to take those precautions. The case resolved confidentially with an $11,500,000 settlement for the victim’s family. The recovery provided critical financial support for the decedent’s two children, helping cover immediate expenses, education, and future needs through a structured settlement.

  • $2,650,000

    Our firm represented the family of a deceased armed services veteran who was tragically killed in a tractor-trailer collision. The crash occurred because the commercial driver failed to properly use the required warning triangles to alert oncoming traffic. Early on, there was uncertainty about whether the veteran could have avoided the crash. Liability was heavily contested; the defense argued the crash might have been avoidable and not solely the truck driver’s fault. We encouraged a full investigation, analyzing speed, driving conditions, and compliance with federal trucking safety regulations. That work revealed the commercial driver had violated those regulations. By uncovering clear regulatory failures, we built a strong claim to hold the trucking company accountable. The case resolved for $2,650,000, bringing critical financial security to the veteran’s family. The recovery gave them resources to cover immediate expenses and helped create stability for the decades to come.

  • $1,876,000

    In Chattanooga, our client, a professional truck driver, was killed in a crash caused by another truck driver who was driving far below the posted speed limit. The slow-moving truck gave no warning: no hazard lights or signals indicating it was traveling unusually slowly. Our client collided with the vehicle and, tragically, both drivers died in the crash. The defense argued that, despite the other driver’s unsafe speed, our client should have taken evasive action. Our team countered by demonstrating how the lack of hazard signals and failure to indicate the danger created an unreasonable and unexpected road hazard, directly leading to the collision. We secured a $1,876,000 settlement for our client’s family. A significant portion was structured to provide long-term stability for his surviving minor child, including funds set aside for education and a monthly allowance to help with ongoing financial needs.

  • $1,000,000

    In Alabama, a father on his way to work was killed when a commercial driver failed to yield the right of way. The truck veered left directly into our client’s path, forcing his vehicle under the trailer. The impact caused a fire that claimed the lives of everyone inside. We represented the estate on behalf of the man’s only child, a minor left without their father. Our team investigated the accident thoroughly to confirm liability and secure maximum compensation. The case concluded with a $1,000,000 settlement, representing the full insurance limits available. These funds created crucial financial stability for the child, offering support for immediate needs and future opportunities in the absence of their father’s income.
