Here at Henningsen Injury Attorneys P.C., we are dedicated to providing our clients with the best legal services possible. We have years of experience handling all types of pedestrian accidents and can help you ensure that your rights are fully protected through negotiation or in court. Our knowledgeable team is available to answer any questions about these types of cases and their potential outcomes. With us on your side, justice is just one call away.
Determining Responsibility for a Pedestrian Accident Case
If you’ve been involved in a pedestrian accident and another party’s negligence or intent led to the injury, then they are responsible for any damages that result. Our legal team can evaluate your case and take action against them if necessary.
Liability is based on individual case details, but typically it may involve:
- a negligent driver;
- a negligent driver’s employer;
- vehicle manufacturer;
- local government who failed to keep the roads safe for pedestrians.
Pedestrian accidents can have devastating consequences, as pedestrians lack the protective gear of motorcyclists or bicyclists:
- head and brain injuries;
- spinal cord damage;
- facial trauma;
- neck and back injuries;
- broken bones;
- internal damage.
Those who are victims of another person’s negligence should seek full compensation for their pain and suffering. Contact us today for further assistance.
Creating a Demand for Injury Damages in Pedestrian Accidents
When you suffer an injury as a result of a pedestrian accident, it is important to work with your lawyer to prepare a damages demand that includes all the possible forms of compensation for which you may be eligible. This can include medical costs, loss of income, property damage, emotional distress, loss of enjoyment and punitive damages.
- Medical costs should cover doctor’s visits, surgical procedures, hospital stays, emergency transportation and prescription medicine as well as the cost of future medical expenses such as in-home care or physical therapy.
- In terms of lost income, if you were forced to miss work because of the accident you can include lost wages in the demand along with any future missed wages or loss of potential earnings if your ability to advance your career has been compromised by the incident.
- Property damage covers any personal items such as smartphones or electronic devices that were damaged in the accident.
- Emotional distress covers anxiety, depression or post-traumatic stress disorder and should be calculated with input from experts.
- Loss of enjoyment applies when injuries limit activities previously important to you – such as a musician’s inability to play their instrument due to hand injuries.
- Punitive damages are intended to punish particularly egregious behaviour and must demonstrate deliberate disregard for safety in Minnesota state law.
Your damages demand will be used for settlement negotiations with the defendant’s insurance company and could be employed by a jury should legal action take place. With this in mind it is essential that all possible forms of compensation are included in order for you recieve adequate recompense for your suffering.

Todd Henningsen took on our case and... read more was able to get a settlement that fairly compensated my son, not only the medical bills, but for the entire traumatic experience. Todd and his staff, particularly Carmen, patiently guided us through the entire process and we felt we were in good and capable hands from the beginning.

This is when you need to feel the utmost confidence in the people that are representing you, taking the stress out of an already difficult time. I highly recommend Henningsen Injury Attorneys, PC .

Also, it took almost two years for my previous cases to be settled so you can imagine my surprise when LaShanda called me and told me my offer from the insurance company was in after only 5 months?! Case was settled totally a month later. I can't say enough great things about this firm. I'm so thankful!

I really appreciated and enjoyed the hassle-free experience of working with Henningsen Injury Attorneys. My consultation with Mr. Henningsen was seamless. He answered all my questions thoroughly and... read more with ease, and was also very personable. Throughout my case, Lashanda called to update me about my case regularly and kept me abreast of where we were in the case process. The law firm had excellent communication and Lashanda returned my calls promptly. Hennigsen and Lashanda were able to settle my case promptly and favorably. I would highly recommend.

I would recommend to anyone! I’ve heard horror stories about various law firms and I was very skeptical in the beginning. However, I am so grateful for my experience with... read more the Henningsen Law Firm. This is actually a late review. My first experience with them was in 2018. Mrs. Tammy was my case manager and she is A1! She is very professional. Mrs. Tammy communicates thoroughly and timely which is really important when going through an emergency situation. Any time I had a question, Mrs. Tammy answered me with clear and direct answers! I had never been in an accident prior to my incident in 2018 and she gave me so much peace throughout my case. I am so glad I found them. During that time, I didn’t have any medical insurance, my car was a total loss, and suddenly it was a domino effect of unfortunate events for me such as losing my job, housing, etc...My attorney group still made sure I had the best medical care and transportation. I’d also like to mention that my settlement was reached pretty quickly compared to what I’ve been told is the norm; and it was more than enough for me to get my life back together, even after the medical bills, etc...I truly felt as if they fought for me! I’ve recently been in another accident. I didn’t even think twice before calling them again and I asked for Mrs. Tammy, lol. No offense to any other case managers because if you work with this firm, I’m sure you’re great. However, my grandma always told me “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it”! I love Mrs. Tammy💚. I have no worries about anything. Anytime someone I know gets in an accident, I refer them to Todd Henningsen because I know they will be taken care of all the way around. He is considered a “Super Lawyer” for a reason! You would think I was on their payroll the way I talk about my experience with this firm, but it’s only because I mean it and I want to help someone else make the best decision for themselves as well! If you have any doubt, let Henningsen see you out! God bless

I'm sure glad I did because they took over and I stopped stressing about it. I wish I had called them earlier. I tell anyone that's been in an accident to call them. Even if it's just to ask questions. Lashanda was great to work with. Thank you to the Henningsen Injury Attorneys and team for getting our case settled and taking the stress out of it.

I was involved in an accident that wasn't my fault, I really didn't have a clue what to do next. The day after I was released from the hospital I... read more was very down because I was hurt, out of work and scared. My wife and I were watching TV, and good day channel 5 featured Mr. Todd Henningsen, injury attorney and he was actually giving advice for FREE....We took that as a sign, and called. From the moment I walked through his door, I was treated with kindness, respect,and EVERYTHING with my case was taken care of by Mr Henningsen and his paralegal Carmen, all I had to do was follow their instructions. I was very impressed with their service from start to end. I will recommend them to EVERYONE I know. Thanks so much, and I wish you both much success
