Injured in a Pedestrian Accident in Covington? Banck Law is Here to Help
Pedestrian accidents can be life-changing. All over St. Tammany Parish, busy streets and shared roads make pedestrians extremely vulnerable. With little protection, pedestrians involved in collisions often suffer severe injuries, including broken bones, spinal cord damage, traumatic brain injuries, and more. The aftermath of these accidents can be physically, emotionally, and financially overwhelming.
At Banck Law, we understand the complex issues involved in pedestrian accident cases and are dedicated to advocating for those affected. We know that injured pedestrians need strong, focused representation to secure the compensation necessary to cover medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and long-term rehabilitation. Our experience handling pedestrian accident cases has prepared us to face insurance companies and responsible parties head-on, ensuring our clients’ voices are heard and their needs are met.
Recognizing the Common Causes of Pedestrian Accidents
Pedestrian accidents in Covington and across Southeast Louisiana often stem from driver negligence and challenging road conditions. Here are some of the most common factors:
- Distracted Driving: Drivers who are texting, talking, eating, or otherwise distracted are less likely to notice pedestrians, putting them at serious risk.
- Speeding: Speeding reduces reaction time and increases the impact and severity of accidents involving pedestrians.
- Failure to Yield: Many accidents occur when drivers fail to yield to pedestrians at crosswalks, intersections, or designated crossing areas.
- Driving Under the Influence: Alcohol or drug impairment severely affects a driver’s ability to make safe decisions and react to pedestrians.
- Poor Visibility: Low-light conditions, such as at night or in poorly lit areas, make it more difficult for drivers to see pedestrians, heightening the risk of accidents.
- Hazardous Road Conditions: Issues like broken sidewalks, lack of crosswalks, and poor signage can create dangerous environments for pedestrians.
- Left-Turn Accidents: Drivers making left turns may overlook pedestrians crossing with the right-of-way, leading to serious collisions.
- Rear-End Collisions: Distracted or inattentive drivers may rear-end vehicles stopped at crosswalks, inadvertently pushing them into pedestrians.
Clearly identifying the cause of a pedestrian accident is essential for holding the responsible parties accountable and obtaining the compensation needed for a full recovery.

- Loss of Enjoyment of Life: Compensation for how your injuries have affected your capacity to engage in and enjoy the activities and hobbies you once loved.
