Walking should be one of the safest ways to get around. Unfortunately, when drivers are careless or roads are unsafe, pedestrians often pay the price. If you’ve been hit by a car in Helena or anywhere across Montana, the injuries can be life-changing. You deserve an advocate who will fight for your rights and help you recover.
At Wall, McLean & Gallagher, PLLC, we bring local experience, clear communication, and aggressive advocacy to every pedestrian accident case. We know Montana law, and we know how to stand up to insurance companies that try to minimize your claim.
Pedestrian accidents can happen in a variety of ways, often due to driver negligence or unsafe conditions. Common causes include:
Distracted driving: Drivers focused on phones or GPS instead of the road.
Failure to yield: Cars not stopping at crosswalks or intersections.
Speeding: Higher speeds make accidents more severe and harder to avoid.
Drunk or impaired driving: Alcohol and drugs remain a leading cause of pedestrian crashes.
Poor visibility: Bad lighting, weather, or lack of signage increases risk.
Unsafe road design: Missing crosswalks, faded markings, or lack of signals.
Understanding what caused your accident is key to proving fault and holding the responsible party accountable.
Because pedestrians have no protection, even low-speed collisions can result in devastating injuries. We often see:
Broken bones and fractures
Head trauma and traumatic brain injuries
Spinal cord injuries and paralysis
Internal bleeding and organ damage
Severe cuts, bruises, and lacerations
Psychological trauma such as anxiety or PTSD
These injuries may require long-term medical care, rehabilitation, or even permanent lifestyle adjustments. Our job is to fight for compensation that covers both immediate and future needs.
Getting hit by a vehicle is not just physically painful—it can also be financially overwhelming. Victims often worry about:
Hospital bills and ongoing treatment
Physical therapy and rehabilitation
Lost wages from time away from work
Future earning potential if unable to return to the same job
Transportation and home care needs
