Pedestrian Accident Attorneys In Wyoming
Pedestrians are the most vulnerable group on the road, making pedestrian accidents that involve a motor vehicle one of the most dangerous types. Motor vehicles travel much faster than pedestrians and weigh over 4000 lbs, on average, compared to the couple hundred lbs. or less of the average person. If a pedestrian is hit by a motor vehicle, they have very little chance of walking away unscratched, and even if you think you have, you could have internal injuries you are not aware of. Pedestrian accidents make up the majority of motor vehicle deaths in the U.S., according to the Governors Highway Safety Association.
Wyoming state law requires all motor vehicles to yield to pedestrians at crosswalks and marked roadways. Drivers need to be as diligent as possible in order to prevent pedestrian accidents and yield anywhere pedestrians frequent, such as sidewalks, parking lots, and more. They need to come to a complete stop in order to allow for pedestrians to cross as safely as possible. If you’ve been victim to a pedestrian accident, a pedestrian accident attorney will help you recover compensation for your losses and help you make the best possible recovery.
At LeBaron & Jensen, we believe that pedestrians have the right of way and that everyone deserves the right to safe travel on our roads. If you’ve suffered a pedestrian accident, you shouldn’t need to struggle with insurance companies too. Too often, insurance companies will try to force you into a low settlement that is far less than you deserve. The experienced attorneys at LeBaron & Jensen will use all the legal resources necessary to fight for you and ensure that you get the compensation you deserve. We will do the work for you so that you can focus on your recovery. With our help, you can rest assured that you will receive a fair settlement and be able to make the best recovery possible.
Causes Of Pedestrian Accidents
Though most people feel safer walking than driving, pedestrian accidents often result in far more severe injuries and higher risk of fatality than any other accident on the road. Even if you are as careful as possible, you can still be victim to a pedestrian accident due to reckless, distracted, or impaired drivers. Very seldom is a pedestrian accident the fault of the pedestrian. Even if you obey all traffic laws, try to make eye contact with drivers, walk on the correct side of the road, avoid distractions, wear bright, reflective clothing, cross at well-lit and designated areas, and are especially careful at night, you can still be victim to a pedestrian accident as a result of a reckless or distracted driver.
Pedestrian accidents commonly occur when drivers or pedestrians do not pay attention to their surroundings and when the conditions are not safe. Common causes of pedestrian accidents include:
- Distracted drivers
- Alcohol or drug use
- Loud music
- Cellphone use
- Failure to yield
- Lowered visibility, like when pedestrians wear dark clothes at night or when streets are poorly lit
- Pedestrians not paying attention to their surroundings
- Walking on the wrong side of the road
- Age – children are at higher risk of pedestrian accidents, as they do not understand how dangerous roads are
Drivers must be as alert as possible when driving, as even hitting a pedestrian at a low speed can result in serious injury. Pedestrian accidents frequently cause long-term injuries and can even end in death. Some of the most common injuries sustained in pedestrian accidents include:
- Broken bones and fractures
- Bruises
- Cuts
- Torn and/or sprained ligaments and muscles
- Concussions
- Hematomas and/or hemorrhages
- Traumatic brain injuries (TBI’s)

I had a great experience with LeBaron & Jensen P.C. They kept in contact with me throughout the entire process, and were extremely informative and explained anything I didn’t understand about the proceedings of the case. I would highly recommend LeBaron & Jensen to anyone seeking Legal representation. I was driving westbound on Highway 193 in Clearfield Utah, when I came to the intersection of 1000 East and Highway 193. I noticed that a firetruck was travelling east towards the intersection with its emergency lights on, all traffic around me, including myself, slowed to a stop to allow the firetruck an unimpeded path to travel. However, I noticed the Jeep behind me wasn’t slowing down. There wasn’t anything I could do to avoid the collision, so I just braced for impact. Although I was wearing my seatbelt, I still suffered many injuries to my neck, shoulders, back, and arms. About a month after the accident I finally sought medical help for my injuries. I underwent many years of treatment for my accident-related injuries, including a carpel tunnel surgery and 2 rhyzotomy procedures, x-rays, MRIs causing me to incur over $60,000 in medical expenses. I decided I should seek legal help with my case, as I knew there was no way I could pay my medical expenses on my own. The legal team at LeBaron & Jensen were exceptional. They were able to negotiate with my health insurance and medical providers, lowering costs where they could. When all my legal and medical fees were paid, I was left with over $79,000. This money will help me pay for the future treatment that I will have to receive to try and help alleviate my future pain and suffering. I’m grateful for LeBaron & Jensen P.C. and everyone there who helped with my case! I thank them every day for the patience and persistence it took to see this through to a beneficial end.

LeBaron & Jensen did a great job for me, kept me informed throughout the process, and helped make sure that I got the compensation I needed. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone who is suffering after an accident like mine. I was driving eastbound on Highway 193, a four-lane highway in Layton, Utah. I came to a stop at the two-way intersection of Highway 193 and North Hills Drive. The other driver failed to yield to my right-of-way and proceeded southbound through the intersection, I wasn’t able to stop fast enough, and I T-boned the other vehicle at a high speed. The impact of the crash was so severe that it triggered my vehicle’s airbags. The severity of the crash caused many serious and extensive injuries to my neck, back, shoulders, and head. Thankfully, I was restrained by my seatbelt, which prevented any worse injuries. I had to receive treatment for over a year and a half following the accident, including surgery on one of my shoulders. I was faced with $76,000 in medical bills. I knew I needed help, so I contacted LeBaron & Jensen P.C. Their attorneys worked diligently and negotiated with my insurance providers. After paying all my medical and legal fees, I was still able to pocket $51,000 to compensate for the pain, and suffering I endured because of the accident.

In January of 2014, my husband was involved in a terrible accident. He was driving on highway 89 in Wellsville, UT, when another driver ran a stop sign and pulled out in front of him. He tried to swerve out of the way, but he wasn’t able to avoid hitting the other vehicle. The resulting impact was so severe that even though he was wearing a seatbelt, he was violently thrown around in the cab of his truck and, as a result, hit his head on the windshield. This caused many injuries to his shoulders, back, and neck. My husband also suffered massive bruising and internal damage, and that’s not even the full extent of the injuries he suffered. He had to receive extensive treatments, including several shoulder surgeries, to try and help alleviate the pain he suffered because of the accident. Even after he underwent all those treatments he was still left in immense pain, and to top it all off, he was diagnosed with cancer in July of 2016. He decided to put off treatment for his shoulders to try and focus on his cancer treatments. He passed away in October of 2017. LeBaron & Jensen were there fighting for us through it all. They were able to get a settlement that covered all of Robert’s accident-related medical bills and all the required legal fees and additional money for his pain and suffering as a result of the accident. I’m so grateful for LeBaron & Jensen and all their support for myself and my husband through the years.

- When I tried to get coverage from the other driver’s insurance, they denied it. They told me that they had canceled the policy only a few days before the accident. The attorneys at LeBaron & Jensen P.C. were able to force the other driver’s insurance to pay out her policy limits of $25k plus replacing my car. I even ended up with a little money to set aside, that was important because this accident left me permanently disabled. The LeBaron & Jensen team negotiated with my health insurance provider and my other health care providers to reduce the costs of my medical expenses. I am very thankful for their professional service, and hard work. I couldn’t have negotiated on my own, I needed every ounce of energy to recover.Positive: Professionalism, Quality, Responsiveness
