Danville Pedestrian Accident Attorney

Pedestrian accidents happen for a variety of reasons and can be one of the most serious types of personal injuries. Accidents that involve pedestrians and vehicles can result in very serious injuries with life altering consequences, or even death. Since 2010, more than 20,000 pedestrians and bicyclists have been injured in traffic crashes in Virginia, and over 700 have been killed. Pedestrians don’t have the safety advantages that vehicles offer, and while only 1.3% of all crashes in Virginia in 2017 involved pedestrians, 13.5% were fatal. Under Virginia law, if you have been injured due to the negligence or recklessness of another party you may be able to seek  compensation for your injuries and other expenses.
