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 Scottsdale's Busy Roads and Resort Corridors
Scottsdale's mix of high-traffic tourist corridors, busy shopping districts, and rapidly expanding suburban neighborhoods creates serious hazards for pedestrians year-round. Intersections along Scottsdale Road, Camelback Road, and the Old Town entertainment district see heavy foot traffic from both residents and visitors — and unfortunately, a troubling number of pedestrian accidents. Areas near Fashion Square Mall, the Scottsdale Waterfront, and the stretch of Indian School Road through central Scottsdale are particularly active zones where distracted or impaired drivers put walkers at serious risk. As the city grows and development intensifies, pedestrian safety remains a critical concern.
Why Scottsdale Pedestrian Accident Victims Need a Local Attorney
Arizona follows a pure comparative fault system, which means insurance companies will aggressively argue that you — the pedestrian — were partially responsible for the accident. In Scottsdale, where insurers frequently represent high-net-worth defendants, resort operators, or commercial property owners, that pressure is even greater. Cases arising from accidents in Scottsdale are typically handled through the Maricopa County Superior Court, and navigating local procedural rules, timelines, and judicial expectations requires an attorney who understands the Arizona civil litigation landscape. Arizona's two-year statute of limitations for personal injury claims means acting quickly is essential to preserving your right to compensation.
