Our Pedestrian Accident Attorneys Fight for Maximum Compensation in Delaware
Medical bills from a pedestrian accident can add up quickly and continue to grow long after your case is resolved. We’ll ensure your treatment needs are accounted for by requesting fair compensation for past, present, and future medical expenses.
In addition, we can request the following economic damages for injured pedestrians:
- Past, present, and future lost wages
- Treatment-related travel expenses
- Loss of the ability to earn in the future
- Property damage, loss, or diminishment
The non-economic damages we request on your behalf may include:
- Temporary or permanent disfigurement
- Short- or long-term impairment
- Ongoing physical pain and suffering
- Lasting mental and emotional distress
Damages our Delaware wrongful death lawyers can request for the family of a fatal pedestrian accident victim include:
- Funeral and burial costs
- Loss of financial support
- Loss of family contributions
- Loss of consortium
- Loss of companionship
- Loss of guidance and care
Our personal injury attorneys will take the time to assess all the damages you are entitled to recover. This assessment can help you avoid a speedy but insufficient settlement. We’ll work hard to achieve maximum financial recovery.
What Ohio Law Says About the Pedestrian Accident Statute of Limitations
Filing a personal injury lawsuit after a pedestrian-versus-car accident is a time-sensitive—and potentially complex—legal matter. It is not one you have to manage on your own. In general, you have:
- Two years to file a personal injury lawsuit, per Ohio Revised Code Section 2305.10
- Two years to file a wrongful death lawsuit, per Ohio Revised Code Section 2125.02
The filing deadline could be complicated since it can change if the injured party is a minor or the negligent party takes certain evasive actions. This is the general rule, though there are exceptions. The best way to meet the filing deadline is to let our Delaware pedestrian accident injury lawyers handle it for you.

Our Delaware Pedestrian Accident Injury Attorneys Will Identify Financial Liability
Pedestrians are not always entitled to compensation after a collision with a car. To prove your right to financial recovery, we must prove the driver who struck you while you were walking was negligent, careless, or reckless.
To recover damages, we will gather evidence of these elements:
- Duty of care
- Breach of duty
- Causation
- Damages
Our investigative team will aim to prove these elements of negligence with a robust evidence collection. We will not ask you or your family to handle this part of your personal injury claim. Our results-driven team will handle it for you, including submitting your case file and settlement demand letter to the insurance company.
Our Legal Team Knows the Importance of a Compelling Evidence Collection
Building a strong case file after a motor vehicle accident starts with a comprehensive evidence collection. When our law firm handles your claim, we will carefully assess any evidence you collected at the accident scene. We will also obtain additional evidence, which can include:
- Medical, rehab, and therapy records that describe your injuries and their severity and attribute them to the accident
- Comprehensive bills and records that describe your medical treatment expenses to date and anticipated costs
- Visual evidence, including photos of the accident scene and your injuries, as well as smartphone, dashcam, and other video footage
- Police reports, including notes, diagrams, police-generated photos, and insurance information from the at-fault driver
- Statements from accident eyewitnesses and relevant experts, including medical and financial specialists
Our familiarity with injury claims means we know how to prove fault and financial liability. Your Delaware pedestrian injury lawyer will also collect evidence proving the accident’s financial impact, including medical bills, employment records, and more.
