A pedestrian injured by a motorist, even at a low speed, is likely to suffer serious injuries that require immediate medical attention.
If you suffered an injury as a PEDESTRIAN as a result of a careless driver it is important to contact an attorney that is well versed in the laws and regulations governing pedestrian injury claims that will properly investigate the facts surrounding your case and apply the relevant law to ensure you are fairly compensated for your injuries.
You may be entitled to compensation for the following:
Medical Care (past and future)
Lost wages (past and future)
In Arizona, if you were a pedestrian that was injured by a negligent motorist you must make a claim for your injuries within two years of the date of the incident. In some instances the deadline to file a claim may differ. For example, if a government vehicle caused your injuries your claim must be filed within 180 days. It is important to hire an attorney that is familiar with the statute of limitations for your specific case to ensure your claim is filed on time. If legal action is not sought within this time you forfeit your right to sue the negligent driver.

Pedestrian Accidents on Goodyear's Busy Roads and Intersections
Goodyear has grown rapidly over the past decade, and with that growth has come increased traffic congestion on major corridors like Estrella Parkway, Dysart Road, and the I-10 frontage roads. Pedestrians crossing near the Estrella Mountain Ranch community, shopping centers along Yuma Road, and the busy retail areas near PebbleCreek Parkway face real risks every day. High-speed roadways designed primarily for vehicles, limited crosswalk infrastructure in newer developments, and distracted drivers create dangerous conditions for people on foot. When a pedestrian is struck by a vehicle in Goodyear, the consequences are almost always severe — broken bones, traumatic brain injuries, spinal damage, and worse.
Arizona law gives injured pedestrians the right to pursue compensation from at-fault drivers, but insurance companies in this region routinely challenge liability and minimize settlement offers. Goodyear falls within Maricopa County, meaning pedestrian accident claims are typically handled through the Maricopa County Superior Court. Navigating local court procedures, filing deadlines under Arizona's two-year statute of limitations, and the state's pure comparative fault rules requires an attorney who understands how these cases actually play out in this jurisdiction. Arizona's comparative fault system means the insurance company may argue you share some responsibility for the accident — a tactic used to reduce or eliminate your recovery. Having an experienced local advocate matters.
