- Be especially mindful when crossing the street with children
- When walking at night, wear reflective clothing
- If your instincts tell you that you can’t trust an oncoming driver to stop, even when lights signal you to cross, wait before proceeding

Do You Have to Hire a Dayton Pedestrian Accident Lawyer?
No, legally, you do not. However, many of the pedestrian accident victims who have successfully recovered compensation in Dayton, Ohio have done so with the help of their personal injury lawyers.
Following a pedestrian accident, a pedestrian accident attorney can help you with tasks like these:
Proving Liability
To succeed in your pedestrian accident claim, you will need to prove that another road user’s actions resulted in your injuries. Gathering the following evidence may help your lawyer build a compelling pedestrian accident claim on your behalf:
- Compelling police reports
- Testimonies from eyewitnesses
- Dashcam footage, surveillance footage, and any other video or photo evidence
- Evidence that the driver who hit you was distracted at the time of the accident
The goal is to establish a link between the at-fault driver’s actions and the accident that left you with severe damages, so any evidence that shows this is helpful. Your lawyer will look for evidence that ties the responsible driver to your accident, linking liability to them in the process.
Representing You in Negotiations
Once you have determined who the liable party is, the next step is to schedule negotiations with their representatives, usually their insurance company. A lawyer can help you file your claim with the defendant’s insurer, draft a demand letter, handle all communications, and negotiate fair compensation for you. A personal injury attorney is familiar with all the maneuvers, especially one’s insurance companies may use to evade compensating victims.
Before accepting any settlement offer, your attorney can compare it to your present and future costs to determine whether the offer is reasonable. While the choice to accept a settlement or not is ultimately yours, your lawyer is familiar with the process and can advise you on that decision.
Filing a Pedestrian Accident Lawsuit
Though rare, pedestrian accident claims might find their way to court. For instance, if you and your lawyer disagree with the defendant’s representatives on the amount of a fair settlement offer, the case might move to trial. Your lawyer will be responsible for everything the judge or jury may require.
