Pedestrian accidents in Phoenix: what to know
People on foot have no protection in a crash. In Phoenix, many serious pedestrian injuries happen at intersections, on wide and fast streets, and near freeway ramps, often at night or when a driver turns without looking.
Arizona rules that shape your case
- Drivers must yield. Arizona drivers must yield to pedestrians in a crosswalk when there is no traffic signal (ARS 28-792).
- Partly at fault? You can still recover. Arizona reduces your compensation by your share of the blame, but does not take it away (ARS 12-2505).
- Your own insurance can help. If the driver fled or has little insurance, your own uninsured and underinsured motorist coverage may pay, even though you were on foot.
- Deadlines vary. How long you have depends on the type of case and who is responsible. Claims against a government agency, such as ADOT, the City of Phoenix or Valley Metro, can have deadlines measured in months. In Arizona, a notice of claim must be filed before you can sue a public entity (ARS 12-821.01), and the time to file it is short. Call early.
Where your case is handled
Most Phoenix injury lawsuits are filed in the Maricopa County Superior Court. Most cases settle before trial. When an insurer will not pay fairly, we are ready to try the case.
What to do now
- Get medical care, and keep going to follow-up visits.
- Do not give a recorded statement to the other side's insurer.
- Save photos, witness names and the police report number.
- Ask nearby businesses and homes to save video right away. See how long camera footage is kept.
- If the driver fled, see how to get license plate camera footage after a hit-and-run.
- Call us. The consultation is free, and there is no fee or cost unless we recover money for you.
