Lawyers Are Standing By
Pedestrians are most commonly injured when they are struck by a moving vehicle, such as a car or commercial truck. In these circumstances, driver negligence is almost always to blame.
The following types of driver negligence can cause a pedestrian accident:
Pedestrian accidents can also be caused by other factors, like dangerous roads or defective walkways. For example, a pedestrian might trip and fall because of a large pothole in the street. The property owner or entity responsible for maintaining the road or sidewalk may be held responsible for your injuries in these cases.

Pedestrians who are hit by a motor vehicle often suffer catastrophic and fatal injuries because unlike motorists or even cyclists, pedestrians do not wear any sort of protective gear. These serious injuries may never fully heal, leaving the victim with permanent disability.
At Luxenberg Garbett Kelly George our pedestrian accident lawyers in New Castle can fight for the maximum compensation you deserve for catastrophic injuries, including damages such as:
Furthermore, if you lost a loved one in a pedestrian accident, our firm can help you with a wrongful death lawsuit to seek the justice your family member deserves.
Our Family is Here to Help Yours
The experienced New Castle pedestrian attorneys at Luxenberg Garbett Kelly George are committed to fighting for the best interests of our clients in all situations. We have represented the injured in Western Pennsylvania since 1933, securing millions of dollars in a wide range of personal injury cases, including car accidents, bike accidents, and pedestrian accidents.
If you are involved in a pedestrian accident, the first priority is your safety and health. Call 911 immediately to report the accident and get medical assistance. If possible, gather evidence by taking photos of the scene, vehicle, and your injuries. Collect the contact information of the driver and any witnesses. Be sure to get a copy of the police report as well. Then, contact a pedestrian accident attorney to protect your rights and help you pursue compensation for your injuries.
In most pedestrian accidents, the driver who hit the pedestrian is often at fault due to negligence such as distracted driving, speeding, or failing to yield. However, other parties may also share responsibility, such as government entities responsible for maintaining safe roads or property owners if the accident was caused by poor sidewalk or road conditions.
Yes. Pennsylvania follows a “modified comparative negligence” rule, which means you can still recover damages even if you were partially at fault, as long as you were not more than 50% responsible for the accident. However, your compensation will be reduced by your percentage of fault.
In Pennsylvania, the statute of limitations for filing a personal injury claim is generally two years from the date of the accident. If you are pursuing a wrongful death claim on behalf of a loved one, the statute of limitations is also two years from the date of death. It’s important to act quickly to ensure you don’t miss your opportunity to seek compensation.
As a pedestrian accident victim, you may be entitled to recover compensation for medical bills (both current and future), lost wages, rehabilitation costs, pain and suffering, and loss of quality of life. In cases where a loved one was killed in a pedestrian accident, families may also pursue wrongful death damages for funeral costs, loss of companionship, and emotional distress.
