Olympia Pedestrian Accident Lawyer

Hit by a Car in Olympia?

Being hit by a vehicle is one of the most traumatic and disorienting experiences a person can face. Pedestrians have no protection in a collision, and the physical, emotional, and financial consequences can last a lifetime.

At Morgan Hill PC, we help injured pedestrians in Olympia and across Thurston County get justice and compensation after they’ve been hit by careless or distracted drivers. Whether you were in a crosswalk, a parking lot, or simply walking down the street, we’re here to help.

Your Rights as a Pedestrian

Washington law gives pedestrians the right-of-way in most crosswalks and intersections. Drivers are required to:

• Yield to pedestrians in marked and unmarked crosswalks
• Stop for school zones and crossing guards
• Exercise caution near sidewalks and bus stops

When a driver fails to follow these rules and causes harm, they can and should be held legally accountable.

Common Pedestrian Accident Scenarios

We represent pedestrians who have been injured in situations like:

• Hit while crossing at an intersection or crosswalk
• Struck in a parking lot or driveway
• Hit while walking along a road without a sidewalk
• Injured by a driver turning or backing up without looking
• Hit near schools, playgrounds, or residential areas

If this happened to you or someone you love, we can help you understand your options.

Serious Injuries and Life Disruption

Because pedestrians are completely exposed in a crash, the injuries tend to be severe. We often represent clients suffering from:

• Traumatic brain injuries (TBI)
• Spinal cord injuries
• Broken bones and orthopedic trauma
• Internal bleeding and organ damage
• Disfigurement and permanent disability
• Fatal injuries (see our Wrongful Death Lawyer page)

These injuries can lead to long recoveries, major expenses, and changes in your ability to work or live independently.

What Compensation Can You Recover?

Depending on the facts of your case, you may be able to recover money for:

• Medical bills, hospital stays, and physical therapy
• Lost wages and loss of future earning ability
• Pain, suffering, and emotional trauma
• Disfigurement or permanent disability
• Assistive devices, home care, or modifications
• Wrongful death and funeral expenses

We’ll calculate every aspect of your damages to make sure nothing is left on the table.
