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.

Mr. Henningsen has represented me in (3)three accidents. His staff is absolutely wonderful and attentive to their clients. From the time hired and through all of the medical treatments not... read more once did they not check up with me... Rebecca was wonderful from start to finish and Mr. Henningsen is the bomb. I have referred multiple clients based off my experience not once did I think his office wouldn’t take care of them. I give his firm an A+ in all areas I absolutely would recommend his firm for representation! Salema

I am so blessed to have found Henningsen Injury Attorneys! EXCELLENT and efficient representation! They assisted me in a car accident injury claim. Before finding them I was... read more using another attorney whose office had poor customer service and lacked professionalism and integrity. Due to this unacceptable behavior, I sought out another attorney and came across Henningsen and decided to give them a ring. Not only were Mr. Henningsen’s contingency fees more affordable than the first attorney, but every single staff member was extremely professional and compassionate – this was evident from my initial phone inquiry with their office when I spoke with Carmen. She talked to me for over 30 minutes and made sure to answer all questions to my satisfaction and even answered questions I didn’t think to ask! I know they have other clients, but she never made me feel like she was “too busy” for me; I felt like a priority. She also responded super quickly to all emails. While I was hurt, they sent someone to my house to handle the paperwork for me. They explained the process and followed up with me often to see how I was feeling, providing case updates along the way. I told Carmen several times, that they really were the silver lining in a horrible experience. You can tell they care. I hope to never be in another accident, but if I am, there is no way I would even consider another attorney. I rarely write reviews, but they’re very deserving of this. I want everyone to know, you’re in great hands with Henningsen Injury Attorneys. Highly recommended!

Excellent customer service. Very responsive. Great outcome. I was in a major car accident and while it could have been worse, I was not in the situation to deal with... read more insurance, hospital calls, etc. on my own. My experience with Henningsen was very positive. Carmen (my main contact) was very responsive, broke down complicated literature for me, and always had my best interest at heart. If I had anything relating to the accident - I just forwarded it her way and I knew it was taken care of. I would recommend them again and again!

My Son was hit by at truck while attending college. Fortunately he was not critically injured, but he suffered physical and emotional trauma. 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. If you are looking for an injury attorney, it's because someone you love has been injured or perhaps worse. 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 .
