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 in Phoenix: A Growing Crisis on Our Streets
Phoenix consistently ranks among the most dangerous cities in the nation for pedestrians. High-speed arterial roads like Van Buren Street, Indian School Road, and McDowell Road see frequent pedestrian collisions, and corridors along Central Avenue and 7th Street through Midtown are known hotspots where foot traffic meets fast-moving vehicles. The combination of wide multi-lane roads, intense summer heat that discourages the use of crosswalks, and a car-centric infrastructure creates deadly conditions for anyone on foot. Whether you were struck in a crosswalk near Downtown Phoenix, along the light rail corridor, or in a residential neighborhood in Ahwatukee or Maryvale, the injuries from these crashes are often catastrophic — including broken bones, traumatic brain injuries, spinal damage, and worse.
Arizona follows a pure comparative fault system, meaning that insurance companies will often try to shift blame onto the pedestrian — claiming you were jaywalking, distracted, or crossing outside a marked crosswalk — to reduce or eliminate what they owe you. Phoenix's large self-insured municipal entities and aggressive commercial insurers make this fight even harder without experienced legal representation. Cases filed in Maricopa County Superior Court have specific procedural deadlines and local rules that a knowledgeable Phoenix pedestrian accident attorney will know how to navigate. Arizona's two-year statute of limitations for personal injury claims means acting quickly is essential to protecting your rights.
