INTRODUCTION
Supporting Pedestrian Accident Victims in Salt Lake City
When a car or truck strikes a pedestrian, the injuries can be catastrophic. Pedestrians have virtually no protection, making them vulnerable to broken bones, head trauma, and other serious harm. At Ceda Law Group, we understand how overwhelming the aftermath can be—from mounting medical bills to the struggle of missing work. Our goal is to guide you toward justice and the financial resources you need to recover.
COMMON HAZARDS
Why Pedestrian Accidents Happen
Salt Lake City’s busy streets and growing population can increase pedestrian risks. Factors such as distracted driving, speeding, and failing to yield at crosswalks contribute significantly to these incidents. Poor lighting or inadequate crossing signals can also create hazardous conditions. By investigating all aspects of your accident, we pinpoint the exact cause and identify which parties are liable for your injuries.

INJURIES AND IMPACT
The Lasting Consequences of a Collision
Pedestrian accident injuries often include traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord damage, or severe fractures—conditions that may require surgery, rehabilitation, or lifelong care. Beyond the physical toll, victims frequently face emotional distress, lost wages, and a diminished quality of life. At Ceda Law Group, we collaborate with medical professionals to accurately document the full scope of your injuries, ensuring any settlement or verdict addresses both short- and long-term needs.

POTENTIAL COMPENSATION
Covering Your Present and Future Losses
Depending on the specifics of your case, you may be entitled to compensation for:
- Medical Costs: Hospital stays, surgeries, physical therapy

Contact Our Salt Lake City Pedestrian Accident Attorneys
After a pedestrian accident, time is crucial. Witness memories fade, physical evidence can disappear, and Utah’s statutes of limitation mean there’s a limited window to file a claim. Ceda Law Group offers free consultations to discuss your legal options and determine the best course of action. Reach out by phone or complete our online form, and let us stand by your side from consultation to resolution.
FAQ
What steps should I take if I’m hit by a vehicle as a pedestrian in Salt Lake City?
Seek immediate medical attention and call the police. If you can, gather information from the driver and any witnesses. Document the scene with photos or videos. Contact a pedestrian accident attorney in Utah to help protect your legal rights and evaluate your claim.
Can I still file a claim if I was partially at fault (e.g., jaywalking)?
Utah’s modified comparative negligence rule allows you to seek compensation if you are less than 50% at fault. Your award will be reduced by your percentage of fault, but you may still recover damages for medical bills, lost wages, and other losses.
What if the driver flees the scene after hitting me?
A hit-and-run makes the situation more complex, but you may still have options. Report the incident to law enforcement immediately. An attorney can help track down possible leads and explore coverage through your own insurance (like uninsured motorist coverage).
How long do I have to file a pedestrian accident lawsuit in Utah?
Generally, you have four years from the date of the accident to file a personal injury lawsuit in
Utah. However, certain exceptions can apply, so it’s critical to consult a lawyer promptly.
