Chicago Pedestrian Accidents โ€” A Serious Crisis

Chicago consistently ranks among the most dangerous cities for pedestrians in the U.S. Distracted drivers, failure to yield at crosswalks, speeding, and drunk driving claim the lives and health of hundreds of pedestrians every year across Cook County. If you were struck by a vehicle while walking, crossing the street, or in a parking lot, Illinois law entitles you to full compensation for your injuries โ€” regardless of where the accident occurred.

Why Pedestrian Accident Cases Require a Skilled Attorney

Despite the clear vulnerability of pedestrians, insurance companies often attempt to blame the victim โ€” claiming they jaywalked, were distracted, or stepped out unexpectedly. Our Chicago pedestrian accident attorneys are experienced in countering these tactics, gathering crosswalk camera footage, accident reconstruction evidence, and witness testimony to establish that the driver was at fault.

Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to the most common questions about your case โ€” then call us for a free, personalized consultation.

In Illinois, drivers must yield to pedestrians in both marked and unmarked crosswalks. If a driver failed to yield and struck you, they are generally liable for your injuries. Our attorneys gather all available evidence โ€” traffic cameras, dashcam footage, and witness statements โ€” to prove it.
Potentially yes. Illinois's modified comparative negligence law allows you to recover even if you were partially at fault, as long as you are less than 51% responsible. Your recovery is reduced by your percentage of fault โ€” but you don't lose everything simply because you crossed outside a crosswalk.
Your own uninsured motorist (UM) coverage may apply โ€” even if you're a pedestrian rather than a driver. Our attorneys help identify all potential sources of compensation including UM coverage, the driver's assets, and any third-party liability.
Generally 2 years from the date of the accident. Claims involving government-owned vehicles or city property have shorter deadlines. Contact an attorney immediately โ€” evidence and witness memories fade quickly.
