Pedestrian Accident FAQ

Jacobs & Comerota | Standing Up for Injured Pedestrians in Philadelphia, PA

  • What should I do after being hit by a vehicle in Philadelphia?

    A rideshare accident involves a vehicle operated by a driver for services like Uber, Lyft, or other app-based transportation platforms. These accidents can involve:

    • Passengers injured while riding

    • Drivers hit by a rideshare vehicle

    • Pedestrians or cyclists struck by a rideshare car

  • What are common causes of pedestrian accidents in Philadelphia?

    • Distracted or speeding drivers

    • Failure to yield at crosswalks

    • Running red lights or stop signs

    • Poor visibility or road conditions

    • Drunk or impaired driving

  • What compensation can I recover as an injured pedestrian?

    You may be entitled to:

    • Medical expenses (including emergency care and rehabilitation)

    • Lost wages and loss of earning capacity

    • Pain and suffering

    • Emotional distress

    • Long-term care or disability support

    • Wrongful death damages (for families of deceased victims)

  • What if I was partially at fault?

    Pennsylvania follows a modified comparative negligence rule. You can still recover damages if you were less than 51% at fault, but your compensation will be reduced by your percentage of fault.

  • What if the driver fled the scene?

    If you were the victim of a hit-and-run, you may still be able to recover compensation through your own uninsured motorist (UM) coverage or other legal avenues. We can help you explore all available options.

  • How long do I have to file a claim?

    You generally have two years from the date of the accident to file a personal injury lawsuit in Pennsylvania. If a government entity is involved (e.g., city-owned vehicle), a notice of claim must be filed within 6 months.

  • Who can be held liable in a pedestrian accident?

    Liable parties may include:

    • The driver of the vehicle

    • A government agency (for unsafe road conditions or signage)

    • A property owner (if the accident occurred on private property)

    • A third-party contractor or business

  • Will my case go to court?

    Most pedestrian accident cases settle out of court. However, if a fair settlement isn’t offered, we are fully prepared to take your case to trial in the Philadelphia Court of Common Pleas.

  • How much does it cost to hire Jacobs & Comerota?

    We work on a contingency fee basis—you pay nothing upfront, and we only get paid if we win your case.
