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 Surprise, Arizona: What Victims Need to Know
Surprise is one of the fastest-growing cities in the West Valley, and that rapid growth has brought with it heavier traffic and increased danger for pedestrians. Major corridors like Bell Road, Grand Avenue (US-60), and Litchfield Road see significant vehicle traffic daily, and intersections near the Surprise Recreation Campus, shopping centers along Bell Road, and the growing residential developments off Greenway Road have become areas of concern for those traveling on foot. As more neighborhoods, retail hubs, and sports facilities attract visitors, pedestrians share space with drivers who may be distracted, speeding, or simply unfamiliar with Surprise's evolving road layout.
Arizona follows a fault-based system for personal injury claims, meaning the at-fault driver's insurance is responsible for compensating injured pedestrians — but that doesn't mean the process is simple. Insurance companies often push back aggressively, arguing that the pedestrian shares fault or that injuries are less severe than claimed. Under Arizona's pure comparative fault rules, your compensation can be reduced if you are found partially at fault, making it critical to have an attorney who understands how to build a strong case. Surprise pedestrian accident cases are typically filed through Maricopa County Superior Court, and navigating local court procedures, deadlines, and litigation strategies requires experience with the Arizona legal system.
