Anchorage, AK, Pedestrian Accident Attorney Offers Experience, Skills, Client Commitment
As recently as 2009, the National Safety Council estimated that almost 6,000 pedestrians are killed in motor vehicle accidents each year. Almost 85,000 people sustain nonfatal injuries in pedestrian accidents.
Many of these serious, fatal and catastrophic injury-causing accidents occur when car, truck, large commercial vehicle and bus drivers fail to yield the right of way to pedestrians at intersections and crosswalks.

Protecting the Rights of Injured Alaskans for More Than 35 Years
Inattentive, negligent, distracted driving is the primary cause of most pedestrian accidents, especially those that happen at dusk and nighttime, when visibility is not the best. Even if a car or truck is going only a few miles an hour, serious injury to a pedestrian can result, including permanent disability or wrongful death.
At the Law Offices of Michael J. Schneider, pedestrian accidents we have handled were caused by:
- Negligent drivers
- Speeding drivers
- Reckless drivers
- Hit-and-run drivers
- Drivers distracted by cellphones and text messaging
- Drunk drivers
- Uninsured and underinsured motorists
Pedestrians knocked down by motor vehicles may suffer catastrophic injury, including head and brain injury, traumatic brain injury (TBI), skull fracture, spinal cord injury, injury requiring amputation and multiple broken bones. These injuries may require expensive long-term care and rehabilitation to expedite the healing process, making maximum compensation for you all the more necessary.
Also: thousands of pedestrians are injured annually in the U.S. in accidents not caused by automobiles. A poorly maintained parking lot, bridge or sidewalk could contribute to a pedestrian accident. Other injuries can be caused by debris, falling objects or unsafe conditions at a construction site.
A nonvehicular pedestrian accident may have numerous responsible parties, and lead to a third-party claim for you, including a construction company, property owner and government entity as potential defendants. When a negligent property owner is responsible, you as the injured pedestrian may have a premises liability claim.
