Hit by a vehicle while walking in Halifax? Pedestrian claims have their own rules — we know them.

Pedestrian Accident Lawyer in Halifax — what to expect

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

Our Halifax team gathers traffic camera and witness evidence quickly, works with your treating providers at QEII 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 Halifax clients ask first

I was partly at fault — can I still claim in Nova Scotia?

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?

Nova Scotia'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 Nova Scotia?

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