Pedestrian Accidents
A person on foot has no protection, so these cases are almost always catastrophic. Fault turns on details that stop existing the moment the road is resurfaced.
The scene is the case
Crosswalk markings, signal timing, sight lines and lighting decide these claims. All of it changes with the next maintenance contract, which is why the documentation has to happen now rather than at deposition.
The driver was probably distracted
Phone records, infotainment data and the event data recorder establish what a driver was actually doing. That evidence is recoverable, but not forever, and not without a demand.
Expect the blame to land on you
Since January 1, 2026 a Louisiana claimant at 51 percent fault recovers nothing. Expect the argument that you crossed outside a crosswalk or stepped out. Expect us to answer it with measurements rather than adjectives.
The damages are lifetime damages
Pedestrian injuries tend to be permanent. Life-care planners and economists build that number. A multiplier does not.
