Pedestrian Accident Lawyer in Arizona
Being hit by a car while walking can leave you with injuries that take months, or longer, to heal. Cal Mundell Law offers a FREE consultation to pedestrians injured across Arizona. Cal will look closely at what happened, protect your rights, and work to recover the compensation you need.
Struck by a Vehicle While Walking?
Your recovery comes first. Cal will handle the rest.
People walk across Arizona every day: to work, to the bus or light rail, through parking lots, and around their own neighborhoods. Wide, fast-moving roads, long distances between crosswalks, and early winter darkness can make walking more dangerous than it should be, and a pedestrian has nothing to absorb the force of a vehicle.
Cal Mundell represents pedestrians and families throughout Arizona after serious and fatal pedestrian accidents. Each case gets his personal attention, and he works to recover what Arizona law allows for your injuries and losses.
How a Pedestrian Accident Affects Your Life
When a vehicle strikes a person on foot, the injuries usually come from two impacts: the vehicle, and then the ground. Pedestrians often suffer fractures, head injuries, spinal injuries, and internal injuries that require surgery, hospital stays, and long rehabilitation.
These injuries can keep you out of work, make everyday tasks difficult, and leave you facing medical bills that far exceed the $25,000 minimum coverage Arizona requires drivers to carry. That gap is why your own auto insurance, including uninsured and underinsured motorist coverage, can matter even though you were on foot.
Cal can manage the legal process for you: investigating the crash, identifying every source of coverage, and pursuing full compensation for your injuries.

What to Do After a Pedestrian Accident
The steps you take after being hit by a vehicle can protect your health and your claim. If you are able:
-
Get medical treatment right away. Head and internal injuries may not be obvious at first.
-
Call the police. A crash report is especially important in pedestrian cases.
-
Write down or photograph the vehicle. Get the license plate, make, model, and color, especially if the driver tries to leave.
-
Document the scene. Take photos of the crosswalk, traffic signals, lighting, and your injuries, or ask someone to do it for you.
-
Get witness information. People nearby may have seen exactly what happened.
-
Contact Cal Mundell Law. Learn your rights before you speak with the driver's insurance company or accept any offer.
Acting quickly can help preserve evidence like video footage that may not be kept for long.
Investigating Your Pedestrian Accident Claim
Pedestrian cases often come down to where you were and what the driver could see. Depending on your case, Cal may examine:
-
Photos of the scene, crosswalk, and signals
-
Traffic camera, business security, and dash cam footage
-
Police crash reports
-
Witness statements
-
Your medical records
-
Lighting and visibility at the time of the crash
-
The driver's speed and phone use, where available
-
Vehicle damage and available vehicle data
-
Your own insurance policy, including uninsured and underinsured motorist coverage
-
Records of your lost income and other financial losses
Arizona law requires drivers to yield to pedestrians in a crosswalk where there are no working traffic signals, and prohibits passing a vehicle that has stopped for a pedestrian. Cal uses the evidence to show how the crash happened and who is responsible.
Compensation After an Arizona Pedestrian Accident
What you may recover depends on how the accident happened and how your injuries have affected your life.
A pedestrian accident claim may include:
-
Emergency care and hospital bills
-
Surgery and rehabilitation
-
Future medical care and assistance
-
Lost wages
-
Reduced ability to earn in the future
-
Pain, suffering, and emotional distress
-
Scarring and disfigurement
-
Permanent disability or impairment
-
Other costs caused by the accident
-
Wrongful death damages for families who have lost a loved one
Cal considers the lasting effects of your injuries, not just today's bills, when pursuing compensation from those responsible.
