Somerset County Pedestrian Accident Lawyer
Pedestrian Injury Attorney Somerville, NJ – Helping You Recover the Compensation You Need and Deserve
Pedestrian Accidents
For many years now, there has been a steady stream of people moving from cities to the suburbs. This for a long time greatly increased the number of cars on the roads, and decreased pedestrian walking activity. Recently, we have been seeing a reverse in this trend. People are now favoring living in communities where you can walk to purchase common amenities, and from there even jump on public transportation.
With that in mind, it’s no surprise that while auto accident rates have been declining, we are seeing an increase in the number of pedestrian accidents in recent years.
Being injured while walking to the grocery store or work can have devastating consequences on your life. Depending on the severity of your injuries, it can seriously impact your ability to work, and medical costs are at an all-time high in the United States.

Practicing exclusively personal injury and medical malpractice law, we have the knowledge, experience, and dedication you need to guide you through the process of filing for, and winning, any personal injury claim.
Who is Liable in my Pedestrian Accident Case?
As with any personal injury case, New Jersey’s Comparative Negligence laws apply to pedestrian accidents. Comparative negligence basically says that the fault for any accident may lie with multiple parties, including the plaintiff (you), and compensation for injuries sustained may be lowered if it is determined that your own actions played a role in the accident.
This is why it is critical that you retain experienced personal injury counsel when pursuing any injury claim. Your lawyer can help prove that you were not at fault for your injuries, and secure you the best possible settlement.
Additionally, there may be situations where the fault is very clear, for example when another driver runs a red light and their actions were caught on camera. However, it is important to remember that even if their actions cause them to face criminal charges and penalties, in order to secure compensation, you still need to win a civil court case, and will most likely wish to have a personal injury lawyer to help you do so.
