Pedestrian Accidents

Kentucky Pedestrian Accident Lawyer

Dedicated Advocacy for Walkers Hurt by Vehicles

Walking should be a safe way to get around. But when a vehicle driver fails to yield, turns into a crosswalk, or ignores pedestrian rights, lives can change in an instant. At Cunningham Law, we help pedestrians in Kentucky who have been struck by vehicles. You don’t have to face the medical bills, insurance calls, and legal confusion alone—we’re here to fight for the compensation you deserve while you focus on your recovery.

Why Pedestrian Crash Cases Are Especially Serious

Pedestrian‑vs‑vehicle collisions aren’t just typical car accidents — they often lead to catastrophic injuries, because people on foot don’t have the protection vehicles offer.

• Under Kentucky law, drivers must yield to pedestrians in many situations, including when a pedestrian is crossing in a marked or unmarked crosswalk and no traffic control signal is present.

• Pedestrian accidents often involve severe harm: traumatic brain injuries, fractures, spinal injuries, amputations and long‑term rehabilitation.

• Even if a pedestrian may share some fault (for example crossing outside a crosswalk), Kentucky uses a comparative negligence system, meaning someone can recover damages even if partially at fault.

Because of the risk of serious harm and complex liability issues, you’ll benefit from a firm that knows how to investigate these incidents, hold the right parties accountable, and pursue full compensation.

What We Handle

We represent pedestrians across Kentucky who have been injured in scenarios such as:

• A driver failing to stop or yield to a pedestrian in a crosswalk

• A vehicle turning left into a pedestrian’s path

• Hit‑and‑run or fleeing‑driver collisions

• Pedestrians struck in parking lots or driveways by negligent drivers

• Situations involving unsafe conditions for walking (poor lighting, defective sidewalks, missing crosswalks)

• Injuries or fatalities resulting from vehicle–pedestrian crashes

No matter how your accident occurred, we stand ready to act with clear communication, compassionate support, and determined advocacy.

What You May Be Entitled To

A pedestrian accident often means unexpected expenses, lost income, and major life disruption. If another’s negligence caused your crash, you may be able to recover for:

• Emergency medical care, hospital bills, surgeries, rehabilitation

• Lost wages and diminished earning capacity

• Pain, suffering, emotional distress and loss of enjoyment of life

• Permanent impairment, disfigurement or mobility loss

• Property damage (personal items, mobility aids)

• In the case of a fatal pedestrian crash: funeral/burial expenses and wrongful death damages for family members

We’ll help assess your case and explain what you or your family may be entitled to—and then fight to secure it.

Statute of Limitations: Time Is Limited

In Kentucky, you typically have two years from the date of your injury to file a personal injury claim. However, in certain contexts—especially if the accident involves a governmental entity or special circumstances—the time to act may be shorter.

So please don’t wait! Delaying may lead to critical evidence being lost, damage to your case, or losing the right to recover.
