Why You Need a Pedestrian Accident Attorney in Massachusetts

A pedestrian accident in Massachusetts can involve more than the driver’s version of what happened. Crosswalk and right-of-way rules, PIP coverage, and the actions of both the driver and pedestrian can affect your claim. Massachusetts PIP can provide up to $8,000 per person, though PIP pays only the first $2,000 if you have health insurance, while evidence from the crash can help establish who was responsible.

  • Ged Lawyers represents injured pedestrians and families throughout Massachusetts. 
  • We investigate crosswalk crashes, failure to yield, speeding, and other forms of driver negligence. 
  • Our team reviews police reports, surveillance footage, medical records, and available insurance coverage.

Types of Pedestrian Accident Cases We Handle

Common Pedestrian Accident Injuries We Handle

Head And Brain Injuries

Concussions and brain trauma may affect memory, balance, focus, mood, and daily function. 

Disc injuries, nerve pain, and spinal symptoms often require detailed medical proof. 

Fractures may involve emergency care, surgery, therapy, missed work, and lasting restrictions. 

Internal bleeding or organ damage may require urgent treatment and careful documentation. 

Sprains, strains, torn ligaments, and muscle injuries can affect movement after the crash. 

Families may have a wrongful death claim when a pedestrian accident takes a loved one’s life. 

Do I Have a Valid Pedestrian Accident Claim?

If a vehicle hits you while crossing a street, using a crosswalk, or walking along a roadway, the circumstances of the crash matter. Your claim may depend on whether the driver failed to yield, was speeding, distracted, or violating a traffic or crosswalk rule.

Massachusetts PIP may provide up to $8,000 per person, though PIP pays only the first $2,000 if you have health insurance. Police reports, photographs, surveillance footage, witness statements, and medical records can help establish what happened and who was responsible. Ged Lawyers can review your accident, insurance coverage, and available evidence to determine what legal options may be available.
