Pedestrian Accidents in Pennsylvania

Pedestrian accidents remain a serious and growing concern across Pennsylvania, particularly in heavily trafficked areas such as Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, and their surrounding suburbs. Each year, hundreds of pedestrians are injured or killed in preventable crashes, often caused by distracted driving, speeding, running red lights, failure to yield at crosswalks, or impaired driving. Hazardous roadway conditions—including poor lighting, limited visibility, and slick or icy surfaces during Pennsylvania’s long winters—further increase the danger for those traveling on foot.

Because pedestrians have no protection against the impact of a car, truck, or bus, these crashes are often devastating. Even at low speeds, victims may suffer traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord damage, multiple fractures, internal injuries, or fatal outcomes. Survivors frequently face long hospital stays, costly rehabilitation, and lasting effects that can impact their ability to work or enjoy daily life.

Under Pennsylvania law, pedestrians injured by negligent drivers may pursue compensation for their losses. Potential damages include medical bills, lost wages, rehabilitation costs, pain and suffering, and diminished quality of life. In tragic cases where a pedestrian is killed, surviving family members may file a wrongful death lawsuit, seeking recovery for funeral expenses, lost household income, loss of companionship, and emotional suffering.

Immediate action is critical after a pedestrian accident. Victims should:

• Seek medical attention right away, even if injuries appear minor. Some serious conditions are not immediately visible.

• Call the police and file an official accident report to document the incident.

• Gather witness contact information, take photos of the crash scene, and preserve any visible injuries as evidence.

• Contact a pedestrian accident lawyer as soon as possible to ensure your rights are protected.
