Pedestrian Accidents
Salt Lake City, Utah, Pedestrian Accidents Lawyers
When two cars are in an accident, the two parties exchange insurance information and, if necessary, call the police. However, if you are on foot as a pedestrian and are struck by a car, truck or motorcycle, you may be seriously injured and have many questions. What do you do? What are your rights? What insurance coverage applies?
At the Salt Lake City truck accident and personal injury law firm of Adams Davis P.C., we have handled thousands of personal injury claims for accidents involving motor vehicles, including many cases involving pedestrians.

Pedestrian accidents can occur from a broad range of driver negligence and error, including:
- Inattentive driving
- Driver fatigue
- Driver alcohol or drug abuse
- Distractions from passengers or other sources
- Talking on a cell phone
- Failure to maintain the vehicle in proper working order
- Careless driving near schools and near crosswalks
Firm attorneys Samuel Adams and Darren Davis can handle your pedestrian accident personal injury claim regardless of the cause. We have handled pedestrian injuries ranging from minor lacerations to head, brain and neurological injuries.
A common injury seen in pedestrian-versus-car accidents is what is known as a "bumper fracture" or tibia/fibula plateau break, which can occur when a bumper strikes a pedestrian under the knee cap. We are familiar with the physiology of bumper fractures and have handled numerous claims regarding this injury. We also handle bicycle-versus-car accidents, and can manage issues regarding uninsured/underinsured motorist (UIM) claims and no-fault coverage in this context.
