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 the driver and the insurer accountable

The driver’s insurance company will often try to shift blame onto the pedestrian to reduce what they pay. We build the case that shows what actually happened — using the scene, witnesses, and the driver’s conduct — and pursue the full value of your injuries, medical bills, and lost income.

Pedestrian cases we handle

  • Crosswalk and intersection collisions
  • Parking lot and backing-up injuries
  • Hit-and-run and uninsured drivers
  • Serious-injury and wrongful-death cases

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 the driver’s insurance if you can, and avoid giving a recorded statement to the driver’s insurer before talking to a lawyer. 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.
