About pedestrianaccidentcalc.com

pedestrianaccidentcalc.com is a free personal injury law resource maintained by The Click Lab. Our calculator and guides help pedestrian accident victims understand settlement value, comparative fault, insurance coverage, and the claims process — in plain English, without requiring a law degree.

Why This Site Exists

Pedestrian accident victims face a significant information disadvantage in the claims process. The at-fault driver's insurance company has experienced adjusters, established formulas for minimizing payouts, and no obligation to tell claimants about their rights. Unrepresented pedestrian victims routinely accept settlements far below the value of their claims — not because the facts don't support a higher recovery, but because they don't know what factors affect settlement value, what their UM/UIM coverage provides, or what the comparative fault rules in their state actually mean for their claim.

This site exists to narrow that information gap. The calculator applies documented multiplier frameworks and fault reduction rules to help victims understand the range of potential recovery before engaging with insurers or attorneys. The guides explain the legal concepts — comparative fault, UM/UIM coverage, the difference between pure and modified comparative negligence — that determine whether a victim gets a fair outcome or accepts an inadequate first offer.

What We Build and Why

The calculator produces a settlement range — not a single number — because pedestrian accident settlements are genuinely variable. The same injury in the same accident can produce different settlement outcomes depending on insurance policy limits, jurisdiction, evidence quality, and legal representation. The range reflects that variability honestly, not false precision.

The guides go deeper than the calculator's inputs. Understanding why a DUI driver opens up punitive damages and dram shop liability, why UM coverage applies to pedestrians, why settling before maximum medical improvement is almost always a mistake — these are the conceptual tools that allow someone to navigate their claim intelligently, whether they represent themselves on a minor claim or hire an attorney for a serious one.

What We Are Not

This site does not provide legal advice or case-specific predictions. The calculator produces estimates based on documented multiplier frameworks and fault rules — your actual recovery depends on specific facts that the calculator cannot know: the driver's exact policy limits, the precise fault allocation a jury would assign, the quality of medical documentation, and a hundred other case-specific factors.

For serious pedestrian accident injuries — any accident involving fractures, surgery, hospitalization, or permanent effects — consulting a personal injury attorney is advisable. Most pedestrian accident attorneys offer free consultations and take cases on contingency, meaning no upfront cost.

How We Make Money

This site is monetized through Google AdSense display advertising, and our editorial content — guides, methodology, and reviews — carries no sponsored articles or paid placements. Separately, we offer an optional case-review form on the homepage: if you submit it, your information is shared with attorneys who may compensate The Click Lab Agency LLC for the referral. That's a disclosed advertising product, separate from our editorial content, and using it is always optional. See our privacy policy for details, including exactly what's shared if you use that form.
