Hit and run pedestrian accidents occur when a driver leaves the scene without stopping to help or provide identification. These cases can be especially distressing because the injured person may not immediately know who caused the crash. Even when the driver is not identified, victims may still have options for compensation through their own insurance policies or other responsible parties. Pierce and Pierce investigates the accident, reviews available evidence such as surveillance footage or witness statements, and works to identify all potential sources of recovery.

Crosswalk accidents often happen when drivers fail to yield to pedestrians who have the legal right of way. These incidents may occur at marked or unmarked crosswalks, intersections, or areas with heavy foot traffic. Many crosswalk accidents are the result of speeding, distracted driving, or ignoring traffic signals. When a driver violates a pedestrian’s right of way and causes injury, they may be held legally responsible for the resulting damages. Pierced and Pierce works to demonstrate how the driver’s conduct contributed to the accident and to recover compensation for medical care, lost income, and long term effects.

Distracted driving is one of the leading causes of pedestrian injuries. Drivers who text, use handheld devices, eat, adjust controls, or take their eyes off the road for even a moment can fail to notice people crossing or walking nearby. Because pedestrians are exposed and unprotected, the injuries in these cases are often severe. Pierce and Pierce analyzes phone records, witness accounts, and accident reconstruction evidence to show how distraction contributed to the collision and to hold the negligent driver accountable.
