New Brunswick Pedestrian Accident Lawyer

All motor vehicle wrecks have the potential for severe injuries. When one of the parties involved is a pedestrian, the accident is almost always traumatic. Pedestrians have little to no protection, often leading to severe and sometimes life-altering injuries. In addition to physical and emotional trauma, these injuries are often financially devastating, leaving you and your family vulnerable.

If you or someone you love was struck by a car, a New Brunswick pedestrian accident lawyer could fight for the compensation you need to recover. At Graces, Grabler & LeBrocq, our personal injury attorneys are ready to support your claim.

The Seriousness of Pedestrian Accidents

Without the protection of a seatbelt, airbags, or a steel frame, the human body takes the full impact in an accident. When a person is hit by a vehicle, even at low speeds, the results can be catastrophic.

Moderate injuries, including bruises, broken bones, road rash, or lacerations, are not generally life-threatening. However, they can lead to substantial time away from work and extensive medical bills.

Pedestrians also commonly suffer severe injuries, including:

  • Traumatic brain injuries
  • Spinal cord injuries
  • Internal bleeding or organ damage
  • Permanent disfigurement or disability

Proving these injuries is essential to your legal case. Our New Brunswick attorneys have experience with pedestrian accident claims. We can work with your medical team and specialists to document the full scope of your injuries and the long-term impact on your life. From there, we will build a strong claim to maximize your financial recovery.

Who Can Be Held Responsible?

Drivers are required to look out for pedestrians, especially at crosswalks, intersections, and school zones. But not all do. A driver may be held liable for:

  • Speeding through a red light
  • Failing to yield at a crosswalk
  • Driving while distracted
  • Driving under the influence
  • Ignoring traffic signs or signals

Other parties may also share responsibility, such as municipalities that failed to maintain safe crosswalks or construction companies that blocked sidewalks without warning.

Our dedicated legal professionals can identify all possible liable parties in a New Brunswick accident and hold them accountable for the harm they have caused you as a pedestrian.

What Compensation Can You Receive?

Accidents involving pedestrians often result in lengthy hospital stays, lost wages, and emotional trauma, and our lawyers can help you recover the full value of your case in New Brunswick.

You may be entitled to compensation for:

  • Medical expenses (past and future)
  • Lost income or reduced earning capacity
  • Pain and suffering
  • Emotional distress
  • Loss of enjoyment of life
  • Permanent disability or scarring

We never recommend accepting the first offer from an insurance company. Their job is to pay as little as possible. Our job is to fight for every dollar you deserve—and we take that responsibility seriously.
