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 Peoria's Busy Roads and Intersections
Peoria's rapid growth along the Loop 101 corridor has brought heavier traffic to roads like 83rd Avenue, Bell Road, and Peoria Avenue — all of which see frequent pedestrian and vehicle conflicts. The bustling shopping districts near Arrowhead Town Center and the high-traffic intersections along Northern Parkway are particularly hazardous for walkers and joggers. With more residents using sidewalks and crosswalks near Lake Pleasant Parkway and the P83 Entertainment District, the risk of a serious pedestrian accident remains a daily reality for Peoria families.
Why Peoria Pedestrian Accident Victims Need a Local Attorney
Arizona follows a pure comparative fault system, which means an insurance company may attempt to shift blame onto you as the pedestrian — even when a driver clearly failed to yield or ran a red light. Peoria falls under Maricopa County jurisdiction, with cases often handled through the Maricopa County Superior Court. Navigating local court procedures, understanding how Peoria-area insurance adjusters operate, and building a strong liability case requires a legal team that understands Arizona pedestrian law and the specific dynamics of this community. Acting quickly matters too, because Arizona's statute of limitations gives most injury victims just two years to file a personal injury claim.
Pedestrian accident injuries — including broken bones, traumatic brain injuries, and spinal damage — often result in medical bills, lost income, and long recoveries. A skilled attorney can help you pursue compensation for all of these damages, not just the immediate costs.
