Hit by a vehicle while walking in St. John's? Pedestrian claims have their own rules — we know them.

Pedestrian Accident Lawyer in St. John's — what to expect

Pedestrian collisions near Signal Hill often involve serious injury and a driver who claims the pedestrian was at fault — Newfoundland and Labrador law generally still allows recovery even with some shared fault, which many injured pedestrians don't realize.

Our St. John's team gathers traffic camera and witness evidence quickly, works with your treating providers at Health Sciences Centre, and handles the claim against the driver’s insurer directly. Because pedestrian injuries are frequently severe — fractures, head injuries, long recoveries — we build the claim around full future costs, not just the bills you have today.

What this can cover

  • Medical and rehabilitation costs
  • Lost income during recovery
  • Long-term care costs for serious injuries
  • Pain and suffering

FREQUENTLY ASKED

Questions St. John's clients ask first

I was partly at fault — can I still claim in Newfoundland and Labrador?

Often yes, under contributory negligence rules that reduce rather than eliminate recovery — worth a free review before assuming you have no claim.

What if the driver fled the scene?

Newfoundland and Labrador's unidentified/uninsured motorist provisions may still allow a claim through your own policy — this needs to be checked quickly.

What is the deadline to file in Newfoundland and Labrador?

Generally two years under the Limitations Act — but evidence like traffic camera footage can disappear within days, so speed matters more than the legal deadline itself.
