Pedestrian Accident Attorney in Marquette, MI

Injured in a Pedestrian Accident? We’re Here to Help.

Getting hit by a vehicle as a pedestrian is terrifying — and often life-changing. Whether it happened while crossing the street, walking your dog, or simply heading to work, you deserve justice.

At Andriacchi Law, we help injured pedestrians in Marquette and across Michigan’s Upper Peninsula get the compensation, peace of mind, and support they need to move forward.

The Pedestrian Wasn’t “At Fault” — But You Still Have to Prove It

In Michigan, pedestrians have the right of way in many situations, but that doesn’t stop insurance companies from blaming them.

We push back hard on the idea that you were “distracted,” “darted out,” or “should’ve been more careful.” We investigate thoroughly and use:

  • Surveillance footage (if available)
  • Witness testimony
  • Scene photos and vehicle damage
  • Cell phone records
  • Police reports and black box data

Our goal: prove fault clearly and recover maximum compensation.

What Injuries Are Common in Pedestrian Crashes?

Without protection, pedestrians often suffer devastating injuries. We’ve handled cases involving:

  • Broken bones and orthopedic injuries
  • Traumatic brain injuries (TBI)
  • Spinal cord injuries and paralysis
  • Internal organ damage
  • Facial injuries or scarring
  • Wrongful death

Whether your recovery takes weeks or a lifetime, we fight to make sure your settlement reflects the full cost of what happened.

What You Can Recover After a Pedestrian Accident

Depending on the facts of your case, you may be entitled to:

  • Medical bills (including future care)
  • Lost wages and loss of earning capacity
  • Pain and suffering
  • Emotional trauma and mental health support
  • Long-term disability
  • Wrongful death damages (for surviving family members)

We also assist with no-fault insurance benefits, attendant-care benefits, and replacement services, if you’re entitled to them.

What to Know About Michigan Pedestrian Injury Laws

  • You typically have 3 years to file a lawsuit, but some claims require faster action
  • Even if you weren’t in a crosswalk, you may still have a claim
  • If a family member was killed, you may be able to file a wrongful death suit
  • If the driver fled the scene, we may be able to pursue uninsured motorist coverage

We handle every detail — so you can focus on healing.

Notable Case Result: Pedestrian Run Over by Valet — Confidential Settlement Secured

At Andriacchi Law, we recently represented a woman who was struck while walking near the entrance of a business. A valet driver, while backing up a customer’s vehicle, failed to check his surroundings and ran over our client’s foot.

She suffered a broken ankle that thankfully did not require surgery but did necessitate several months of physical therapy. While the insurance company initially attempted to downplay the injury due to the lack of surgical intervention, we presented clear evidence of her pain, limitations, and emotional distress.

Our team worked quickly and quietly to:

  • Gather information about the negligent driver
  • Document medical expenses and physical therapy progress
  • Communicate assertively with the insurance carrier
  • Protect our client’s privacy and avoid the stress of a drawn-out court battle

The result: A confidential financial settlement that fairly compensated our client for her injuries, inconvenience, and recovery — without going to trial.
