Many pedestrian accidents in Tucson result from negligence and preventable hazards. Some common causes include:
Speeding vehicles in residential neighborhoods
Distracted driving, such as texting behind the wheel
Malfunctioning traffic signals or poorly timed crosswalk lights
Unmarked crosswalks that leave victims vulnerable
Drivers failing to yield to pedestrians
Poor road conditions or unsafe construction zones
Government entity negligence, such as inadequate street lighting
Most pedestrian accidents share responsibility between driver negligence and unsafe roadway conditions. Tucson has seen an alarming increase in pedestrian accidents, with many caused by distracted or drunk drivers. Our attorneys investigate each factor thoroughly to determine liability.

These sobering figures underscore the critical need for legal protections and strong advocacy for pedestrian accident victims navigating medical care, insurance, and recovery in Arizona.
If you’ve been involved in a Tucson pedestrian accident, you may be entitled to pursue compensation under Arizona law. Arizona follows a pure comparative negligence rule, allowing victims to recover damages even if they are partially at fault for the accident. Depending on the circumstances, liability may fall on:
The negligent driver who failed to follow traffic laws
A government entity that failed to maintain safe road conditions or traffic signals
A business or contractor responsible for dangerous construction zones
Pedestrian injuries often include broken bones, head trauma, memory loss, and catastrophic injuries that may require surgery or long-term medical care. Common injuries in pedestrian accidents can significantly impact the victims’ independence, careers, and overall quality of life. In severe cases, wrongful death claims may be appropriate for families who have lost a loved one.
Knowing your legal options and acting quickly is essential. Arizona law gives most victims two years from the accident date to file a personal injury claim.
Our Tucson pedestrian accident attorneys provide comprehensive support for victims:
Investigating the accident: Gathering police reports, witness statements, and medical records. Experienced pedestrian accident lawyers in Tucson gather evidence, interview witnesses, and build a strong case for their clients.
Handling insurance claims: Negotiating firmly with the insurance company and the driver’s auto insurance policy.
Calculating damages: Accounting for medical bills, lost wages, and future medical expenses.
Filing lawsuits if necessary: Taking cases to trial when settlement offers are unfair.
Pursuing wrongful death claims: Supporting families who have lost a loved one in pedestrian accidents.
We aim to manage the legal process on your behalf so you can focus on recovery, while we work diligently to pursue the compensation you may be entitled to.
