Pedestrian Accident Attorneys

Being struck by a vehicle in Portland can lead to serious, life-altering injuries. You deserve a legal team that understands what’s at stake.

At The Gatti Law Firm, our Portland pedestrian accident attorneys help victims hold negligent drivers accountable. We are committed to securing the compensation you need to recover and move forward.

Walking in Portland should be safe, but accidents can happen anywhere—on city streets, near intersections, or in crosswalks. Because pedestrians have no physical protection, even low-speed collisions can result in severe injuries, including:

• Traumatic brain injury (TBI)
• Spinal cord injuries or paralysis
• Broken bones
• Permanent disfigurement

Pedestrian accidents can also result in fatalities, leaving families and loved ones of the victims to cope with both emotional trauma and financial burdens.

Understanding how pedestrian accidents happen can help protect others and strengthen your case. Common causes include:

• Distracted or impaired driving
• Failure to yield or running red lights
• Speeding in pedestrian-heavy areas
• Unsafe street design or poor visibility
• Defective traffic signals or signage

Pedestrian accident liability may extend beyond the driver to vehicle owners (even if they were not driving), employers, or government entities responsible for unsafe roads, crosswalks, or signage. Our pedestrian accident lawyers investigate every relevant factor to identify all the liable parties.

Under Oregon law, your compensation may be reduced if you are partially at fault, but recovery is still possible if you are less than 50% responsible.

Victims may recover damages for medical expenses, ongoing treatment, lost wages, reduced earning capacity, pain and suffering, and in some cases, punitive damages. Wrongful death claims may also be possible for surviving family members.

With decades of experience representing injured clients across Oregon, The Gatti Law Firm knows how to take on negligent drivers and insurers. Our Portland pedestrian accident lawyers are dedicated to helping you recover every dollar you deserve so you can focus on healing and rebuilding your life.
