Getting hit by a car while walking is terrifying, and the injuries are often serious — a pedestrian has none of the protection a vehicle does. If it happened to you in Kansas City, you deserve representation that takes it as seriously as you do.

We hold drivers and property owners, and their insurers, accountable for your injuries

An insurance company will often try to shift blame onto the injured pedestrian to reduce what they pay. We build the case that shows what actually happened — using the scene, witnesses, evidence of negligence, and the prior knowledge of a dangerous condition — and pursue the full settlement value of your injuries: past and future medical bills, lost income, and pain and suffering.

Pedestrian cases we handle

  • Crosswalk and intersection collisions
  • Hit-and-run and uninsured drivers
  • Serious-injury and wrongful-death cases
  • Injuries occurring on another’s property

We represent injured pedestrians across Kansas City and the surrounding metro in Missouri and Kansas.

Why Berger Law

  • You keep more of your settlement — low overhead, not billboard-firm markup
  • Direct attorney access — you work with your lawyer, not a case manager
  • A small, focused caseload and trial-ready preparation

Frequently asked questions

What should I do after a pedestrian accident?
Get medical attention right away, even if you feel okay — some serious injuries show up later. Document the scene and get insurance information. Avoid giving a recorded statement to the insurer before talking to a lawyer. This is important. Then call us for a free review.
The driver's insurance is blaming me for crossing. Do I still have a case?
Possibly, yes. Missouri and Kansas use comparative-fault rules, so being partly at fault doesn’t necessarily end your claim — it may just reduce it. Insurers often blame pedestrians to pay less; don’t accept that at face value.
What if the driver was uninsured or fled the scene?
You may still have options — including your own uninsured/underinsured-motorist coverage, which can apply to pedestrians. We’ll help you find every source of recovery available.
How much does it cost?
Nothing up front. We work on contingency — you pay nothing unless we recover for you — and you deal directly with your attorney, not a call center.
