Del Ray Pedestrian Accident Attorney
Walking through Del Ray’s vibrant streets and neighborhoods should be safe. But when drivers fail to obey traffic laws, pedestrians are the ones who suffer the most. Without the protection of a vehicle, even a low-speed impact can result in devastating injury or death. At Malloy Law Offices, our Del Ray pedestrian accident attorney is committed to standing up for injured pedestrians and helping them secure the compensation they need to recover and rebuild.
Why Pedestrian Accidents Are So Serious
Pedestrian crashes are among the deadliest types of traffic incidents because the human body is completely exposed in a collision. These accidents are often caused by:
Drivers failing to yield at crosswalks or intersections
Speeding in residential or school zones
Distracted driving—texting, phone use, or in-car distractions
Left-hand turns with poor visibility
Impaired driving—alcohol or drug-related
Running red lights or stop signs
Whether you were hit in a marked crosswalk on Mount Vernon Avenue or while crossing a neighborhood street near your home, you have rights—and we’re here to protect them.
Who Can Be Held Liable in a Pedestrian Accident?
Pedestrian accident claims can involve more than just the at-fault driver. Depending on the details, additional parties may be responsible, including:
Commercial drivers or delivery companies operating in neighborhoods
Government agencies responsible for defective traffic signals or poor visibility
Rideshare drivers (Uber or Lyft) who strike pedestrians while distracted or in a rush
Vehicle manufacturers, in rare cases of sudden unintended acceleration or faulty braking systems
We conduct a detailed investigation to identify every liable party and ensure all available insurance coverage is pursued.
Common Pedestrian Accident Injuries
Because there is no barrier between a pedestrian and a moving vehicle, these accidents often result in catastrophic harm. Our attorneys regularly represent clients with:
Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBI) – From head impact with the vehicle or pavement
Spinal Cord Injuries – Leading to paralysis, nerve damage, or chronic pain
Broken Bones – Often involving the legs, hips, ribs, and arms
Internal Injuries – Including internal bleeding and organ damage
Facial Trauma and Lacerations – Leading to disfigurement or vision damage
Fatal Injuries – Resulting in wrongful death claims on behalf of families
Recovery from these injuries often requires months—if not years—of treatment and support.
What Compensation Can a Pedestrian Accident Victim Recover?
If a negligent driver caused your injuries, you may be entitled to compensation for both current and future losses, including:
Medical bills – Emergency care, surgery, rehabilitation, and future medical needs
Lost wages – For time missed at work or reduced earning potential
Pain and suffering – Physical pain and emotional trauma
Long-term care needs – Including home modifications or assistive equipment
Disfigurement or permanent disability
Wrongful death damages – For surviving loved ones, including funeral costs and loss of companionship
We work closely with medical professionals, financial planners, and life care experts to value your case accurately and fight for every dollar.
