Common Causes of Pedestrian Accidents in Minnetonka

Pedestrian accidents can happen anywhere—crosswalks, parking lots, residential streets, and busy intersections. While each case is unique, most are caused by preventable driver negligence, including:

• Distracted driving: Texting, using a GPS, eating, or other distractions prevent drivers from noticing pedestrians.
• Speeding: Reduces reaction time and increases the severity of injuries upon impact.
• Failure to yield: Drivers who ignore traffic signals or crosswalk rules endanger pedestrians.
• Drunk or impaired driving: Slowed reaction times and poor judgment put lives at risk.
• Poor weather or low visibility: Failing to adjust driving habits for fog, rain, or darkness increases accident risk.

Under Minnesota Statute § 604.01, you may pursue compensation if you are less than 51% at fault for the accident. Even if a driver claims you were partially responsible, our legal team will work to prove their negligence and protect your right to recover damages.

The Impact of Pedestrian Accident Injuries

Unlike drivers, pedestrians have no physical protection in a crash. Injuries are often severe and may include:

• Broken bones and fractures
• Traumatic brain injuries (TBI)
• Spinal cord damage or paralysis
• Internal organ injuries
• Severe lacerations and disfigurement

These injuries can require long-term medical treatment, cause permanent disabilities, and significantly disrupt your ability to work or enjoy life. That’s why having a skilled Minnetonka pedestrian accident lawyer is critical to securing the resources you need for recovery.

Seeking Damages After a Pedestrian Accident

Pedestrian accident victims in Minnesota may be entitled to compensation for a range of losses, including:

• Medical expenses: Emergency care, surgeries, hospital stays, rehabilitation, and ongoing treatment.
• Lost wages & future earning capacity: Compensation for time missed from work and reduced future income potential.
• Pain & suffering: For physical pain, emotional distress, and diminished quality of life.
• Property damage: Reimbursement for personal belongings damaged in the crash.
• Punitive damages: In cases involving gross negligence or reckless behavior.
