Motor vehicle accidents involving pedestrians can have serious repercussions. Even bicycles and motorcycles can leave people with deep cuts, bruises, head injuries, fractures, or worse. Serious pedestrian accidents sometimes even result in fatalities.
If you or a loved one has been injured while walking or standing near a road, take legal action before it’s too late. Our Wisconsin pedestrian accident attorneys will help you investigate the claim, collect evidence, and build a winning case.
We’ve taken on claims involving a wide range of circumstances, including:
Sidewalks and walkways are notorious for tripping, slipping, and falling hazardous. Defects can appear in the most unlikely of places and result in serious injuries.
Exceeding the legal speed limit isn’t just against the law – it’s reckless and dangerous. Our pedestrian accident attorneys have seen far too many avoidable accidents begin with speeding.
Texting and talking on the phone while driving continues to be one of the biggest threats to today’s pedestrians. When distracted, a driver can easily strike a passerby in the blink of an eye.
Pedestrians are especially vulnerable when a driver is under the influence. In Wisconsin, if you have been injured by someone driving under the influence, you may even be entitled to punitive damages, in addition to compensatory damages.
Although there is no requirement to hire an attorney after a pedestrian accident, it’s in your best interest to do so. An experienced legal team will ensure you’re aware of every state regulation and case deadline so you can obtain the full recovery you’re owed.
With a deep understanding of Wisconsin pedestrian accident law, our attorneys are able to expertly investigate and prosecute your case. We’ll help you seek compensation for a variety of damages, including:

We also recommend trying to take photos of the accident scene. The more thoroughly you can document the scene immediately after the accident, the stronger your case will be.
Once you are safe and stable, contact a pedestrian car accident lawyer. Our team will walk you through the process of evaluating your options and pursuing justice against the at-fault party.
Pedestrian accidents in Wisconsin have declined some in previous years but are still common. It’s estimated that about 60 Wisconsin pedestrians are killed every year, and another 350 are seriously injured. More than 1,2000 sustain injuries, ranging from minor to serious.
Crosswalks are designed to keep pedestrians safe. As such, city planners should strategically account for the flow of traffic, then place pedestrians on crosswalks in the safest place.
If city planners fail to do so, they can be held accountable when someone is injured in an accident. Mahony Law has helped pursue justice against more than just city planners – we’ve gone up against engineering firms, government agencies, and other organizations.
The timeline of a pedestrian accident lawsuit can vary, depending on the extent of the injuries, insurance negotiations, and much more. Most cases are settled within months, but some can take up to two years to reach a judge and jury.
The best way to expedite a pedestrian accident case: hire an experienced legal team. Mahony Law’s attorneys work to get to expedite the process so victims obtain their rightful payments quickly and painlessly.
