Pedestrian Accident Protecting Those Most Vulnerable

Every year, thousands of pedestrians are injured or killed because of careless drivers. Unlike drivers, pedestrians have no protection one moment they’re walking safely, and the next, their lives change forever.

  • We Come To You

  • Medical & Therapy Referrals

  • We Handle the Insurance Companies

In recent years, over 7,500 pedestrians were killed in traffic accidents across the United States, marking one of the highest numbers in four decades.

Medical Expenses and Future Treatments

After a pedestrian accident, medical costs can quickly add up from emergency care and surgeries to ongoing therapy or rehabilitation.

At Herbert Law Group, we fight to ensure you receive full compensation not just for your current bills, but also for future medical treatments, medications, and long-term care you may need as a result of your injuries.

Our goal is to help you recover physically and financially, so you can focus on healing while we handle the rest.

Lost Wages and Reduced Earning Capacity

A serious pedestrian accident can keep you out of work for weeks, months, or even permanently. The financial strain adds stress to an already difficult recovery.

At Herbert Law Group, we help you recover lost wages for the time you couldn’t work, as well as compensation for reduced earning capacity if your injuries affect your ability to work in the future.

You deserve to be fully compensated for the income you’ve lost not just now, but for the years ahead.

Why Anxiety Permanent Disabilities and Rehabilitation Support

Some pedestrian accidents cause life-changing injuries that require long-term or even lifelong care. Spinal cord damage, traumatic brain injuries, or amputations can completely alter your ability to work and live independently. At Herbert Law Group, we fight to secure compensation for ongoing medical care, rehabilitation, assistive equipment, and home modifications you may need to rebuild your life.

Wrongful Death Compensation: Justice for Your Loved One

When a pedestrian accident leads to the tragic loss of life, no amount of money can replace your loved one but holding the responsible party accountable can bring justice and financial relief to your family.

At Herbert Law Group, we help families pursue wrongful death claims to recover compensation for funeral expenses, lost income, medical costs before death, and the emotional suffering caused by the loss.

Common Causes of Pedestrian Accidents

Pedestrian accidents are almost always the result of driver negligence, not bad luck. In most cases, the victim was doing everything right walking on the sidewalk, crossing at a crosswalk, or following traffic signals. But one careless or distracted moment from a driver can change everything. At Herbert Law Group, we’ve seen how a single second can turn a life upside down. Most pedestrian accidents happen because drivers are distracted by their phones, speeding through intersections, failing to yield at crosswalks, driving under the influence, or due to poor lighting and unsafe road conditions.

No matter the cause, pedestrians deserve safety and respect on the road. When that safety is taken away by someone else’s negligence, we fight to get you the justice and compensation you deserve.

We Treat Every Client Like Family.

Our job isn’t just to win your case — it’s to make sure you feel supported and informed every step of the way. We fight for fair compensation, handle the paperwork and insurance calls, and help you get your life back on track — fast.

Frequently Asked Questions

What if the accident aggravated an old injury?2025-10-27T04:43:57+00:00

You can still recover compensation. If the accident made a pre-existing condition worse — like back pain, neck problems, or anxiety — you may be entitled to damages for the aggravation.

The law recognizes that an at-fault party is responsible for making your condition worse, even if you had prior health issues.

How long does it take to settle a personal injury case?2025-10-27T04:43:01+00:00

It depends on your injuries and how cooperative the insurance company is.

  • Simple cases may resolve in a few months.

  • Complex ones (involving serious injuries, multiple vehicles, or semi-trucks) can take longer.
    We never rush a case just to settle — we take the time needed to ensure you receive the full value of your claim. Throughout the process, we’ll keep you updated and answer every question you have.

What if I don’t have health insurance or can’t afford treatment?2025-10-27T04:42:32+00:00

Don’t worry — we help you get the care you need without paying upfront.


We work with medical providers, physical therapists, and psychological specialists across Utah who accept letters of protection (LOPs) — meaning you receive treatment now and pay once your case settles.

This includes physical therapy, chiropractic care, massage, pain management, and mental health therapy for anxiety or trauma.

What should I do right after an accident?2025-10-27T04:40:02+00:00

Your safety comes first. Check for injuries and call 911 immediately if anyone is hurt. If possible, move to a safe area and exchange information with the other driver. Take photos of the scene, vehicle damage, and visible injuries. Even if you feel okay, get medical care right away — many serious injuries don’t show symptoms immediately.

Before speaking to any insurance adjusters, contact our office so we can help protect your rights and guide you through the process from day one.

Do I really need an attorney after a car, truck, or UTV accident?2025-10-27T04:40:21+00:00

Yes. Insurance companies often try to pay the lowest amount possible or deny valid claims. A lawyer ensures you get fair treatment and full compensation for your injuries, medical care, and property damage. We handle the paperwork, coordinate with doctors, and fight for you — so you can focus on healing while we handle everything else.

How much does it cost to hire Herbert Law Group?2025-10-27T04:40:40+00:00

Nothing upfront. We work on a contingency fee basis, meaning our payment comes from a percentage of your settlement or verdict — not from your pocket. If we don’t win your case, you owe us nothing. This allows every injured person to get quality legal representation regardless of income or immigration status.

What if the other driver has no insurance or leaves the scene?2025-10-27T04:40:59+00:00

You still have options. Utah law allows you to file a claim through your uninsured or underinsured motorist coverage (UM/UIM) if you have it. Even in hit-and-run cases, we can help investigate, gather surveillance footage, or work with authorities to identify the at-fault driver.


Our team ensures that you explore every available path for financial recovery.

What if I was partially at fault for the accident?2025-10-27T04:41:15+00:00

Utah follows the comparative negligence rule, which means you can still receive compensation if you’re less than 50% at fault. Your recovery will simply be reduced by your percentage of fault. For example, if you’re found 20% responsible for a $100,000 claim, you can still receive $80,000.


Our attorneys work hard to minimize your fault percentage and maximize your payout.

How long do I have to file a claim?2025-10-27T04:41:33+00:00

The time limit, known as the statute of limitations, depends on the case:

  • Personal Injury: 4 years from the date of the accident.

  • Wrongful Death: 2 years from the date of passing.

  • Property Damage: 3 years.
    Waiting too long can weaken your case — evidence fades, witnesses move, and insurance deadlines expire. It’s best to start as soon as possible so we can preserve all documentation and evidence.

What compensation can I recover after an accident?2025-10-27T04:41:50+00:00

You may be entitled to several types of damages, including:

  • Medical expenses (current and future treatment, therapy, medication)

  • Lost wages and reduced earning capacity

  • Property damage (vehicle repair or replacement)

  • Pain and suffering

  • Emotional distress and psychological trauma

  • Loss of enjoyment of life
    Every case is unique, so we calculate your full damages before negotiating with insurance companies to ensure you receive what you truly deserve.
