There is little time for a pedestrian to react after a car accident. These accidents are common and generally involve reckless drivers.The Ohio Department of Transportation reports over 2,500 pedestrians are injured every year in Ohio in auto accidents.
While every case is different and accidents can happen anywhere, some locations see a lot of pedestrian accidents:
In Toledo, drivers are legally required to yield to pedestrians in crosswalks—whether marked or unmarked—at intersections. According to Ohio Revised Code § 4511.46, motorists must stop when a pedestrian is lawfully crossing the street with the right of way. However, many pedestrian accidents happen because drivers speed along roads like Monroe Street or Dorr Street, fail to yield at crosswalks near the University of Toledo, or overlook foot traffic in residential areas such as Old Orchard and Ottawa Hills.
Even if a pedestrian crosses mid-block or outside of a marked crosswalk, Ohio law still requires drivers to exercise reasonable care to avoid hitting them. This duty is especially critical in high-traffic pedestrian zones like downtown Toledo, the Toledo Museum of Art area, and around local schools.
At Kisling, Nestico & Redick, our >Toledo pedestrian accident lawyers use these right-of-way laws to hold negligent drivers accountable and secure justice for injured pedestrians across Lucas County.
It’s important to determine exactly what happened if you get hit by a car as a pedestrian because you cannot recover compensation if you can’t show the motorist’s negligence, and how it resulted in harm.
Some common examples of pedestrians injured by careless drivers include:
Being hit by a car, truck, or motorcycle can result in devastating injuries. Many victims will have pain or a lifetime disability. Even a relatively minor injury can require significant medical attention, and these often get worse over time if not properly addressed.
It’s important for your attorney to fully understand how your injuries will affect your life. This allows them to seek adequate compensation for your present and future needs. The Toledo pedestrian accident lawyers at Kisling, Nestico, & Redick have seen many pedestrian injuries such as:
Many people do not know what to do after a pedestrian accident. Even if you can walk away from your accident, it’s important to take your injuries seriously. Damage to your joints, organs, and nervous system can get worse over time if not properly addressed.
Injured pedestrains should:
Toledo is home to many leading health care facilities that can treat you following a pedestrian accident. With considerable experience helping injury victims, our Toledo lawyers will guide and assist you with documenting your medical care and the costs associated with your injuries.
We have relationships with the many excellent hospitals and trauma centers in Toledo, including:
Ohio has a strict statute of limitations in personal injury cases. The two-year limit to filing a personal injury suit is pretty firm. While there are some exceptions, you must not delay in calling a lawyer. Do not accept any settlement or payment before discussing your case with legal counsel.
The other party and their insurance provider will try to pay you as little as possible. Our Toledo pedestrian accident attorneys understand how to recover an acceptable settlement offer or take your case to trial if necessary. However, the legal process can be complex, so we encourage you to act as soon as possible.
Lucha por todo lo que te corresponde
Calling an experienced lawyer can help recover compensation. This requires demonstrating the negligent driver’s recklessness and tying them to your injuries.
Kisling, Nestico & Redick has helped many Toledo injury victims and a long history of fighting for fair results in pedestrian accident cases across Ohio. For example, we secured a $275,000 settlement for a man struck by a car that fled the scene.
Damages that you may be able to recover include:
Many people wonder if they can recover compensation if they hold some liability. Ohio law allows you to recover, but your compensation will be reduced by your share of responsibility. However, you cannot recover if you hold the majority of responsibility for your injuries.
After a pedestrian accident in Toledo, you may assume the at-fault driver’s insurance company will do the right thing. Unfortunately, insurers are more focused on protecting profits than fairly compensating injured victims. It’s common for adjusters to blame the pedestrian, minimize the severity of injuries, push for a fast and undervalued settlement, or misrepresent your rights under Ohio’s comparative negligence laws. They may even delay communication or bury you in paperwork to stall the process.
Without skilled legal representation, injured pedestrians in Toledo often walk away with far less than they deserve.
At Kisling, Nestico & Redick, our Toledo pedestrian accident lawyers know how to counter these tactics with strong evidence, expert testimony, and a relentless focus on results. Most cases settle out of court, but we prepare each one for trial to maximize its value.
Whether your accident happened near the University of Toledo, downtown Toledo, or on high-traffic routes like Monroe Street or Secor Road, we’re ready to fight for full compensation. If a fair settlement can’t be reached, we’ll take your case to the Lucas County Court of Common Pleas and advocate aggressively on your behalf. Our deep knowledge of local courts and proven success record often lead to better, faster outcomes for our clients.

Many of pedestrian victims are seriously injured or killed through no fault of their own. If you get hit by a motorist while on foot, your life can change forever.
Do not delay in contacting an experienced Toledo pedestrian accident lawyer if you need to recover compensation from the careless party in your accident. Our legal team has years of experience investigating personal injury cases in northwest Ohio. We work closely with the doctors treating our clients so that we fully understand the harm they sustained and the impact that it will have on their lives.
If you’re struck by a vehicle while walking in Toledo—whether it’s in a crosswalk on Monroe Street, near the University of Toledo, or in a neighborhood like Old West End—you have the right to seek compensation from the at-fault driver. This may include coverage for medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering. Ohio law protects pedestrians from negligent drivers, and KNR’s Toledo pedestrian accident lawyers can help you enforce your rights through a claim or lawsuit.
In Ohio, you typically have two years from the date of the accident to file a personal injury claim. But acting quickly is crucial. Key evidence—like security footage from a downtown Toledo business or witness statements from the scene—can disappear within days. KNR can immediately step in to preserve critical details and protect your case.
Yes. If the driver fled the scene—whether it happened on Dorr Street, near Secor Road, or in a residential area—you may still be able to recover damages through your own uninsured motorist (UM) coverage. KNR’s team can investigate the incident, explore all available insurance options, and help you pursue full compensation.
Ohio’s modified comparative negligence rule allows you to recover damages even if you were partly at fault—as long as you’re less than 51% responsible. For example, if you crossed outside a marked crosswalk near Ottawa Park or the Toledo Museum of Art, your compensation may be reduced based on your share of fault. KNR will work to challenge unfair blame and pursue the maximum amount possible.
Insurance companies often try to settle fast or shift blame onto pedestrians—especially in busy areas like downtown Toledo, near UT, or around the Toledo Zoo. Having a knowledgeable KNR attorney on your side ensures your rights are protected and that you receive every dollar you’re owed. We handle these cases on a contingency fee basis, so there’s no cost unless we win for you.
