Pedestrian Accidents

Committed to Holding Negligent Drivers Responsible

The human body is no match for a machine. Those involved in a pedestrian injury or pedestrian collision often suffer catastrophic injuries. Sadly, being hit by a car can also be fatal. When selecting an attorney for a pedestrian who has been hit by a car, it is important not only to choose an experienced attorney, but to choose one who knows Illinois law and will compassionately discuss your case and the strategies to succeed.

The attorneys at Malkinson & Halpern, P.C. understand the importance of communicating with their clients and, combined, have been compassionately representing pedestrian injury victims for over 60 years.

Causes of Pedestrian Accidents: And How Our Lawyers Can Help

Distractions in and outside a vehicle, roadway obstructions, and driver oversight are often responsible for pedestrian accidents. Proving such facts — and opposing the defense of “pedestrian inattention” — can entail hard-nosed investigation. Whether the occurrence took place in a crosswalk, on private property, or elsewhere, the personal injury attorneys at Malkinson & Halpern know Illinois law and will work hard to investigate the claim, discuss your options, and secure the needed evidence and witness support to succeed under the law.

To maximize results, the firm often uses experienced investigators to obtain witness statements before memories lag, and collision reconstruction experts to visit and measure the scene, examine the vehicle, assess traffic light signals, and scientifically support the clients’ claim against the responsible party.
