If you were struck by a vehicle in Cape Girardeau, you need a pedestrian rights lawyer who will advocate tirelessly for your interests.

Together, we have the resources, skills, and experience needed to take on big insurance companies eager to deny your claim.
On average, a pedestrian is injured every nine minutes in the United States. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reports that more than 60,500 pedestrians were injured nationwide in accidents in 2021 alone. Fatalities totaled 7,388.
Though hiring a pedestrian collision lawyer is not legally required, it can make a huge difference in the outcome of your case. If you are considering filing a pedestrian accident claim, here are some ways our law firm can help.
Walkers, runners, skateboarders, and other pedestrians should feel safe when lawfully using the sidewalks, trails, and roadways in our community. Motorists often forget that, in many situations, they must yield the right-of-way to these vulnerable road users.
Some of the most common causes of pedestrian accidents our firm handles include:
If you were hurt in a pedestrian accident, our legal team will use our knowledge, expertise, and resources to fully investigate the circumstances of your case. We will gather all available evidence and build the strongest case possible on your behalf.
Most personal injury cases are based on the legal concept of negligence. To secure compensation via this route, you need to prove the four elements of negligence by a preponderance of the evidence. They are as follows:
We have many decades of experience handling personal injury cases throughout Missouri and beyond. We know what it takes to build a strong negligence claim. Let us fight for you.
Another important job of your pedestrian injury claim lawyer is to interact and negotiate with the at-fault party’s insurer. Once the at-fault party’s insurer receives your claim, they will begin their own investigation. They will look for any reason to deny or diminish the value of your injuries and losses.
When they reach out to you asking for information, they may also ask you to sign releases or provide a recorded statement. Do not comply. Remember, you have no legal duty to talk to the at-fault party’s insurer. Let your attorney handle these communications instead.
NST Law knows how to push back against unscrupulous insurers when they try to diminish or deny the true value of your claim. If negotiations do not yield a fair settlement, our personal injury lawyers are ready to take your case to court. Let us fight for you.
We understand that most of our clients have never dealt with a personal injury lawsuit. Though we are a large firm, we offer personalized support to our clients and are available 24/7 to address their questions and concerns.
We understand that there is no one-size-fits-all approach when it comes to personal injury cases. No matter the circumstances of your accident, you can count on our firm to handle your case with the individualized care and attention it deserves.
The steps you take after an accident can have a significant impact on your recovery and right to compensation. Our attorneys recommend taking the following steps if you have been injured in a pedestrian accident:
A pedestrian accident can severely impact you physically, emotionally, and financially. In our decades of personal injury practice, we have recovered over $2 billion on behalf of injury victims and their families. The personal injury lawyers at NST Law can help you pursue compensation for things like:
In cases involving serious irresponsibility on the part of defendants, punitive damages may also be available. Further, if you lost a loved one due to a pedestrian accident, our attorneys can help you pursue compensation through a wrongful death claim.
Non-economic damages are more subjective. They compensate an injured person for how their injuries impact their quality of life, such as pain and suffering, emotional distress, and loss of enjoyment of life. Putting a dollar amount on these damages can be challenging, but testimony from experts, witnesses, and you can help us determine a fair value.
Unlike economic and non-economic damages, punitive damages aim to punish the wrongdoer for their reckless or intentional behavior. These damages are infrequent in Tennessee and only awarded in extreme cases, such as when a defendant acted with malice or willful disregard for others’ safety. Such was the case when a client suffered injuries in an accident with a drunk driver, resulting in a $500,000 award.
