We know where and how pedestrian accidents occur in Oil City, PA. We handle a wide range of cases and can help you pursue appropriate compensation after suffering injuries in a:

Crosswalk collision, especially in Oil City’s South Side Historic District
Intersection accident
School zone crash near Oil City Area Senior High or other schools
Parking lot incident in places like the local Giant Eagle or at other shopping centers

We Will Provie Liability for Your Pedestrian Accident

We develop a strong case to show what happened and how the careless driver caused the crash. To show a driver acted negligently, we must provide evidence to show:

They owed you a duty of care
They breached this duty
Their action or inaction caused the crash
You suffered harm

To this end, drivers owe pedestrians a high duty of care. Local and state laws require motorists to follow traffic laws to prevent injuries to other road users, including pedestrians crossing the road or walking along the road when there is no sidewalk available.

Violating a traffic law could lead to a pedestrian collision and injuries. Some of the most common reasons this occurs include:

Violating traffic laws by failing to stop at a red light or stop sign
Failing to yield when turning
Not leaving enough room when passing a pedestrian on the road
Failing to stop for a pedestrian in a crosswalk
Driving while distracted
Drunk or intoxicated driving
Speeding drivers
Drowsy driving

We will not back down just because the at-fault driver was behind the wheel of a commercial vehicle, including a delivery van, trash truck, and or 18-wheeler.

We Make Sure Your Pedestrian Accident Lawsuit Is Filed on Time

While we often close these cases through settlement negotiations, litigation might be necessary under some circumstances. If we need to sue the at-fault motorist, Pa. C.S.A. § 5524 usually grants victims up to two years from the accident date to get started.
