In Springfield, pedestrian crashes can happen along high-traffic roads like Glenstone Avenue, National Avenue, and Chestnut Expressway, as well as near Missouri State University and Battlefield Mall.

Without the protection of a vehicle, pedestrians can suffer serious injuries when struck by a car or truck. At Aaron Sachs & Associates, our Springfield pedestrian accident lawyers help injured people understand their options, investigate collisions, and deal with insurance companies. Our firm has recovered more than half a billion dollars across our cases.

If you need guidance, our Springfield personal injury lawyers can explain your next steps. We offer free consultations and handle eligible cases on a contingency fee basis, meaning you pay no attorney fees unless we recover compensation for you.

Potential Compensation Available After a Pedestrian Accident

If a driver’s negligence caused your pedestrian accident, you may be able to seek compensation. The types of damages available depend on the facts of your case and the evidence supporting your claim. Compensation may include:

  • Medical expenses: Emergency care, hospital stays, surgery, medication, physical therapy, and other necessary treatment, including qualifying future medical expenses.
  • Lost wages: Income lost while recovering and, when supported by the evidence, a reduced ability to earn money in the future.
  • Pain and suffering: Compensation for ways an injury affects daily life and emotional well-being.
  • Property damage: Repair or replacement costs for damaged personal property from the accident.
  • Wrongful death damages: When a pedestrian dies from their injuries, eligible surviving family members or other authorized claimants may be able to seek damages under Missouri’s wrongful death laws.

Medical records, bills, pay records, and receipts can help document your losses. Do not assume that an insurer’s first offer accounts for every expense or the full effect of your injuries. A pedestrian accident lawyer from Aaron Sachs & Associates can explain which types of damages may apply and what evidence may help support your claim.

Missouri Pedestrian Accident Laws You Should Know

Missouri laws can affect whether you may pursue compensation and how much you may be able to recover. Here are some important rules to understand after a pedestrian accident.

Missouri’s Comparative Fault Rule

Missouri follows pure comparative fault. This means you may still recover damages even if you share responsibility for the accident. However, compensation can be reduced.

For example, if your damages total $100,000 and you are found 20% at fault, your compensation may be reduced to $80,000. The actual amount depends on the evidence and how fault is determined.

An insurance company may argue that you crossed outside a crosswalk, ignored a signal, or entered the road unexpectedly. Those claims do not settle the question of fault by themselves. We can review the available evidence and explain how Missouri’s comparative fault rules may affect your claim.

Crosswalks and Pedestrian Right of Way

Pedestrians and drivers both have legal responsibilities. For example, under RSMo § 300.375, when traffic signals are absent or not working, drivers still must yield to pedestrians crossing within a crosswalk.

Other rules may apply depending on where you cross, whether a crosswalk is marked, and which traffic controls are present. The details matter when determining fault. We can review the location, traffic signals, witness accounts, and other evidence to help you understand how the applicable rules may affect your claim.

Missouri’s Statute of Limitations

The deadline for your case may depend on what happened and whether any special rules apply. Contact a lawyer to find out which deadline applies to your situation.

Are Damages Capped in a Pedestrian Accident Claim?

Missouri generally does not set a legal limit on the money you can recover in a typical pedestrian accident case. For example, RSMo § 538.210 sets limits on certain damages in medical malpractice cases, not most pedestrian accidents.

Other laws may affect how much you can recover. The amount depends on the evidence, your losses, and the details of your case.
