Each year, thousands of pedestrians are injured or killed in accidents on our nation’s roadways. At Siegfried & Jensen, our team of pedestrian accident lawyers has helped many of these victims and their families acquire fair compensation for their injuries. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), more than 64,000 pedestrians — defined as any person traveling on or near a roadway and not riding in or upon some type of vehicle — were injured and 4,881 killed in traffic accidents in 2005. Tragically, children age 15 or younger accounted for 28 percent of all pedestrians injured in traffic crashes. Our pedestrian accident lawyers have helped victims and their families obtain just compensation for medical and rehabilitation expenses, lost wages, diminished earning capacity, and pain and suffering. If you or a family member has been injured in a pedestrian accident, contact the personal injury lawyers at our office in the Salt Lake City, Utah area today to arrange a case consultation and evaluation.
Pedestrian accidents often result in severe injuries. When an unprotected pedestrian is hit by a much larger and faster object (such as a car, truck, or motorcycle), the results can be catastrophic. At Siegfried & Jensen, our pedestrian accident lawyers have helped many Salt Lake City and Utah victims statewide obtain the compensation to which they are entitled.
Common pedestrian accident injuries include:
Motor vehicle operators are required to exercise reasonable care when sharing the roadway with pedestrians. If reckless or negligent driving behaviors — such as speeding, failure to adhere to traffic laws, or driving under the influence — have caused you or a family member to be injured, you may be entitled to compensation for your injuries. Contact the pedestrian accident lawyers at our Salt Lake City, Utah-area office to arrange a consultation and thorough case evaluation.

Children and the elderly are most at risk of being injured in pedestrian accidents.

Pedestrians who are injured by negligent or reckless drivers of motor vehicles are entitled to compensation. As with all personal injury claims, victims are required to prove that another person was negligent and that this negligence caused the accident. Any person trying to do so should be aware that the driver’s insurance company will likely try to blame the victim for the accident. Our pedestrian accident lawyers — serving Salt Lake City and Utah victims statewide — can help you obtain your rightful compensation. We have the experience and the knowledge necessary to get the most out of your claim.
At Siegfried & Jensen, we may be able to recover compensation for medical expenses, physical and emotional suffering, funeral expenses (in cases of wrongful death), and other damages. A third party may also be responsible in some pedestrian accidents. If a crossing signal or traffic light malfunctioned, it may be possible to hold the municipality responsible for failing to maintain or repair the light adequately.
