Even in a walkable community like Kensington, pedestrians face daily hazards—crosswalk violations, distracted drivers, poor lighting, and aggressive traffic. When a vehicle strikes someone on foot, the outcome can be catastrophic. At Malloy Law Offices, our Kensington pedestrian accident attorney helps injured individuals and grieving families pursue justice after these life-altering events.
Pedestrians are completely exposed in a collision—there’s no seatbelt, no airbags, and no protective frame. These cases often come with added challenges, including:
Severe injuries requiring long-term or permanent care
Disputes over fault, especially in mid-block or night-time incidents
Uninsured or underinsured drivers
Road design flaws or lack of signage contributing to danger
The need to reconstruct how and where the impact occurred
We focus not only on the moment of impact, but the wider system failures that allowed it to happen.
Whether it’s a school zone, residential street, or busy shopping corridor, pedestrian crashes can happen almost anywhere. We handle cases involving:
Crosswalk violations and failure to yield
Speeding in residential or commercial areas
Distracted or texting drivers
Illegal turns or rolling stops
Impaired driving (alcohol, drugs, or fatigue)
Poor visibility or lighting in key pedestrian zones
Dangerous intersections or obstructed walkways
We also investigate whether municipal negligence—such as broken traffic signals or missing signage—played a role in the accident.
Unlike other road users, pedestrians have no structural protection. As a result, injuries tend to be severe. Our clients often suffer from:
Traumatic brain injuries or skull fractures
Spinal cord injuries and paralysis
Pelvic fractures and broken limbs
Internal organ damage or internal bleeding
Severe lacerations and road rash
Facial trauma or dental injuries
Emotional trauma, including anxiety and PTSD
We work with your medical team and outside experts to understand the full scope of harm—both physical and psychological.
Pedestrian accident victims are often entitled to more than just reimbursement for medical bills. Depending on the circumstances, you may recover:
Emergency care, surgeries, and rehabilitation
Physical therapy, mobility support, and home modifications
Lost wages and long-term earning potential
Pain and suffering—mental, physical, and emotional
Permanent disfigurement or disability
Wrongful death benefits, if a loved one was killed
We also help clients pursue compensation through uninsured motorist (UM) coverage if the driver fled the scene or lacked adequate insurance.
These cases often involve more than just the driver. Depending on the facts, we may pursue claims against:
The at-fault driver or their insurance company
Employers, if the driver was operating a work vehicle
Commercial property owners responsible for unsafe walking paths
Government agencies that failed to maintain safe pedestrian infrastructure
Rideshare or delivery companies in app-based collisions
Accountability starts with a full investigation—because you deserve to know every party that contributed to your injuries.
