Hit by a Vehicle in Provo? Start Here
A Provo pedestrian accident lawyer helps an injured person investigate a collision, identify available insurance, preserve evidence, and pursue compensation for medical care, lost income, and other losses. A driver may dispute the signal, the crosswalk, or where the pedestrian entered the road; photographs and nearby footage can be important before they disappear.
Strong Law Accident & Injury Attorneys serves people injured while walking in Provo and elsewhere in Utah County from our Utah office in Midvale at 193 E Fort Union Boulevard. We do not have a Provo office. You can discuss a serious pedestrian injury with our team in a free consultation.
If a vehicle struck you, get appropriate medical care first, then preserve the police report number, driver information, witness contacts, scene photographs, clothing, and any available camera footage. Our Provo personal injury page explains the broader injury claim; the Provo car accident page addresses vehicle collisions generally.

What Should You Do After a Pedestrian Crash in Provo?
Call for emergency help if anyone is hurt or the scene is unsafe. Seek medical care based on your symptoms, even when you were able to walk away. Tell your providers how the collision occurred and keep follow-up visits, bills, prescriptions, and work restrictions together.
Preserve Crosswalk and Driver Evidence
If your condition and the scene allow, photograph the intersection, lane markings, crosswalk, traffic signals, signs, vehicle position, damage, debris, lighting, weather, and visible injuries. Keep the driver’s plate, insurance details, and the incident number. Ask witnesses for contact information. A nearby business, residence, bus, or traffic camera may have footage, but retention periods vary; ask promptly about preservation rather than assuming it will remain available.
How Is Fault Evaluated?
Whether the crash occurred at a marked crosswalk, an intersection without painted lines, a driveway, or another location, the investigation should consider the applicable traffic rules and what each person could see and do. A police report helps identify the parties and witnesses, but it does not necessarily resolve civil fault. Video, signal timing, vehicle damage, phone records when relevant, and witness accounts can help test competing versions. Utah’s comparative-fault rules can affect recovery when more than one party bears responsibility.
Which Losses May Be Part of the Claim?
The facts may support medical costs, lost income, future treatment, and the effect of lasting injuries on daily life. Severe pedestrian injuries can require rehabilitation or changes in work and transportation. Preserve records of those needs rather than estimating the value of a claim before the medical picture is clear.
Insurance questions can be complicated after a pedestrian collision. The policy that responds first and whether additional coverage is available depend on the vehicle, policies, and facts. Our Utah personal injury overview explains the broader process. Ask for a free case review if liability is disputed, footage may be lost, or an insurer is pushing for a quick settlement.
Provo Pedestrian Accident Questions
What if the driver left the scene?
Report the collision, seek care, and preserve a description of the vehicle, plate fragments, witness details, and nearby camera locations. Available uninsured or other coverage depends on the policies and circumstances; a lawyer can help review them.
Can I make a claim if the driver says I was partly at fault?
Possibly. Utah allocates fault under Utah Code § 78B-5-818. An insurer’s first account is not conclusive. The location, signals, sightlines, speed, and witness or camera evidence matter. A share of fault can reduce or bar recovery depending on the final allocation.
How long do I have to act?
Deadlines depend on the claim and defendant. Many Utah injury lawsuits have a four-year limitation under Utah Code § 78B-2-307, but claims involving a governmental entity or employee can require a much earlier formal notice under Utah Code § 63G-7-402. Wrongful death and other claims may follow different rules. Get the facts reviewed promptly.
Will I need to go to court?
Some claims settle through negotiation; others require litigation when fault, coverage, or the amount of loss is disputed. The decision depends on the evidence and your goals. A consultation can clarify the likely steps without promising a result.

“Unbelievable work!”
"I had a claim involving my own insurance company. I tried to negotiate with them, and they completely denied my claim – two times. I then hired Strong Law, and the change was instant. The insurance company immediately began negotiating, and Jed was able to secure an unbelievably good settlement. I will never again attempt to take-on an insurance company without Strong Law in my corner. Thank you!"
