Charleston Pedestrian Accident Attorney
People who have gone through pedestrian accidents feel very fortunate to have escaped with their lives because, unfortunately, many of them don’t. At Wyndham Law Firm, we know full well how life-altering pedestrian accidents can be. We also know that most of them are preventable and that you don’t deserve to deal with their financial, physical, and emotional aftermath on your own.
Our Charleston pedestrian accident attorney, Robert J. Wyndham, has dedicated over 30 years of his life to securing compensation for injured pedestrians in the Dorchester, Berkeley, Georgetown, and Charleston counties. He has extensive experience handling pedestrian accident cases caused by:
- Distracted driving, usually cell phone-related
- Driving while impaired with alcohol or drugs
- Dangerous turns
- Not giving pedestrians the right of way
- Reckless driving
- Speeding, particularly in school zones and other safety zones
When drivers don’t adhere to the road rules, they place themselves and other unsuspecting people at risk of life-changing injuries or death. When they break the rules, and you get injured due to their negligence, you have the right to hold them legally responsible for all your accident-related damages.
What Our Charleston Pedestrian Accident Attorney Can Do For You
Even though motorists are legally required to keep an eye out for pedestrians, some choose not to. They might fail to yield or speed up instead of stopping or slowing down for pedestrians or engage in other reckless and illegal driving behaviors. If you’ve been hit by a negligent motorist, the Charleston pedestrian accident attorney at Wyndham Law Firm will help you by:
- Ensuring you understand your legal options, what to expect moving forward, and how we will recover the financial compensation you’re owed under the law.
- Completing all the legal paperwork and gathering the necessary evidence to strengthen your claim.
- Evaluating and investigating every detail of the pedestrian accident to ensure we include all the damages you must receive.
- Fighting for the results you deserve, whether in court or through a settlement, by negotiating with the insurers, their lawyers, and insurance adjusters.

Can I Still File a Claim If I Was Not Injured in a Crosswalk?
Regardless of where you were during the accident, all drivers are legally obligated to drive safely and look out for pedestrians. Other circumstances may have also contributed to the accident, including the driver being drunk or distracted.
