Driver negligence causes the majority of pedestrian auto injury accidents. Goren, Goren & Harris is a pedestrian accident law firm with a comprehensive knowledge of the laws against negligent driving. We rely on decades of experience when investigating automobile accident cases, including those involving cars and the people walking across and along the roadways.
Our pedestrian accident lawyers have succeeded in high-profile injury cases that led to large financial recoveries, including those for:

The human body is no match for a moving vehicle weighing more than 3000 pounds. Pedestrians have a greater than 50% chance of dying when involved in an accident with a motor vehicle. In the hands of negligent drivers, this huge vehicle becomes extremely dangerous to innocent adults and children who are in or around the streets.

If you were struck by a negligent driver while walking, you may be able to recover damages for your injuries. Our pedestrian auto accident lawyers help innocent victims who have been hit while moving legally in or along a street. Our firm thoroughly examines all aspects of these collisions. Most pedestrian auto accidents occur between 3 and 4 p.m., a high-risk time for children coming home from school. In fact, about one-fifth of deaths to children ages 5 to 9 are the result of being hit by a car. Our pedestrian accident attorneys can help if a negligent driver or business was responsible for the injuries to a child or adult.
Negligence in Pedestrian Accidents
- Distracted driving
- Speeding
- Ignoring traffic lights
- Failing to yield to pedestrians in a crosswalk
- Driving under the influence
Drivers are often distracted by their passengers, a cell phone, or the radio while in their vehicles. Some drivers are also responsible for unsafe actions that result from drug or alcohol intake. Negligent behaviors can lead to accidents where pedestrians suffer broken bones, head trauma and other serious injuries.
Our firm has experience in both personal injury and class action lawsuits across the country. We have the knowledge, determination and legal skills that your unique case demands.
