Since 1986, our dedicated legal team has helped clients recover significant settlements and verdicts, including those who have suffered serious injuries in pedestrian accidents.
Causes of Pedestrian Accidents
Pedestrian accidents can occur for many reasons. Our lawyers have extensive experience handling these cases and can help you navigate the legal process. Some of the most common causes of pedestrian accidents include:
- Distracted Driving: Whether texting, talking, or adjusting the radio/vehicle controls, distracted driving is a leading cause of pedestrian accidents.
- Driving Under the Influence (DUI): Drivers who are impaired by alcohol or drugs may face both criminal charges and civil liability for pedestrian collisions and injuries.
- Inclement Weather: Drivers who fail to adjust their speed in poor weather conditions may be held liable for accidents involving pedestrians.
- Turn and/or Intersection Collisions: Drivers turning right may not see pedestrians in crosswalks, leading to dangerous and preventable accidents.
- Failure to Obey Traffic Laws: In Birmingham, drivers are required to yield to pedestrians in crosswalks. Failing to do so often results in serious injuries.
Birmingham, surrounding cities, and the State of Alabama enforce strict traffic laws to protect pedestrians, and violations of these laws can significantly affect your ability to file a claim and receive compensation.
Common Injuries in Pedestrian Accidents
Pedestrian accidents often result in serious injuries, as pedestrians have little protection compared to occupants of vehicles. The severity of the injury often depends on factors such as the size and speed of the vehicle. Common injuries in these accidents include:
- Broken bones
- Spinal cord injuries
- Traumatic brain injuries
- Neck and back injuries
- Internal organ damage
- Permanent disfigurement
- In some cases, death
If you’ve lost a loved one in a pedestrian accident, our attorneys can help you determine whether filing a wrongful death claim is the best option for your family.

What Do Our Clients Say?

Larry Smith
I have nothing but great things to say about this firm. Initially I mostly spoke to Rebecca & she made me feel very comfortable in a stressful situation. Later many of my calls were with Jon Mann & he also spoke to me with respect & thoughtfulness. Kind of strange but a close bond between lawyers & a client but not only did we discuss the matter at hand but we would discuss our personal lives & the good & bad going on in my life & their concern for my health was comforting. I would definitely recommend this firm! Keep up the great work guys.
Doris M.
I feel very fortunate to have met this firm. During the first conference, my attorney made me feel totally at ease when sharing my situation with him. He has a way about him that makes you feel his sincerity and honesty. Thank you for taking my burden and for the wonderful job that you did to complete my case successfully. I am VERY PLEASED!
Cathye H.
My case was one that was a part of a nationwide claim. I researched and prayed for the appropriate attorney and I found that in Mike Bradley. While my case lasted, Mike and his assistant Karen stayed current and knowledgeable on the status and updates. I never once called or emailed that one of them didn't respond to me immediately. Mike would call to answer an email because he felt it would be more personal and efficient than typing. I highly recommend this firm.
