Pedestrian Accident FAQ

If you’re involved in a pedestrian accident or a car accident, your safety is the top priority. If you can, move to a safe location away from traffic. Once you’re safe:

  1. Seek Medical Attention: Even if you feel okay, it’s crucial to get checked out by a doctor. Some injuries might not be immediately apparent, and early treatment can make a big difference in your recovery and your legal claim.
  2. Contact the Police: Report the accident to the police as soon as possible. This will create an official record of the incident, which can be important for insurance claims and legal proceedings.
  3. Gather Information: If possible, get the license plate number or any other details. If there are any witnesses, try to get their contact information.
  4. Contact a Pedestrian Accident Lawyer: An experienced lawyer can guide you through the legal process, protect your rights, and help you seek compensation for your injuries and other losses. 

Note: It is very important to contact a lawyer as soon as possible. If you are involved in an accident involving an uninsured driver, or hit and run driver, you must give the MVACF notice of the accident within 90 days of the date of the accident.

Pedestrian accidents often result from a combination of factors, including:

  • Distracted Driving: Drivers using cell phones, eating, or whose attention is not on the road are a major cause of pedestrian accidents.
  • Impaired Driving: Drivers under the influence of alcohol or drugs pose a significant risk to pedestrians, due to delayed response times and inhibition. This was a leading cause of pedestrian fatalities involving motor vehicles between 2018-2020, according to Statistics Canada – a figure which likely remains relevant today. 
  • Speeding: There is a direct correlation between vehicle speed and crash occurrences in Canada. Unfortunately, excessive speed reduces a driver’s ability to react and increases the seriousness of injuries to pedestrians. 
  • Failure to Yield: Drivers who fail to yield to pedestrians at crosswalks or intersections are a common cause of accidents.
  • Poor Visibility: Low light conditions, bad weather, and obstructed views can make it difficult for drivers to see pedestrians, even those wearing bright colours.

No matter the cause, it’s important to reach out to a pedestrian accident lawyer as soon as possible. Your lawyer can protect your rights and fight for fair compensation, freeing you up to focus on your recovery. 

You should contact a pedestrian accident lawyer as early as possible – even before you contact your insurer. Why? Because with a lawyer on your side, you will be in the best position to protect your rights and receive fair compensation for your injuries and losses.  

In Alberta, pedestrian accident settlements can vary. Here are some of the factors that can impact your settlement if you are involved in a pedestrian accident: 

  • How early you contact a pedestrian accident lawyer. 
  • The specific circumstances of the accident. 
  • Your injuries and the impact these injuries will have on your life. 
  • The available medical evidence. 
  • Your lost wages, medical bills, and other costs. 
  • Your legal strategy for managing your pedestrian accident claim. 

And a range of other unique factors depending on your case.
