Most Common Pedestrian
Accidents in Brampton

Pedestrian accidents are often the result of driver negligence or inattention. Unfortunately, serious collisions are a persistent issue in Peel Region. Since the beginning of 2022, Mississauga and Brampton have collectively seen 24 pedestrian fatalities and over 100 serious injuries resulting from nearly 1,200 collisions involving pedestrians.

Accidents can happen quickly and are typically caused by factors like:

  • Distracted Driving:

    Drivers who are texting, using a GPS, or otherwise not focused on the road often fail to notice pedestrians.

  • Failure to Yield:

    Drivers illegally failing to give pedestrians the right-of-way at controlled or uncontrolled crosswalks and intersections. Intersections are the most common location for pedestrian fatalities.

  • Speeding and Aggressive Driving:

    Exceeding the speed limit or driving aggressively reduces a driver’s reaction time, making collisions more likely and resulting injuries more severe.

  • Impaired Driving:

    Alcohol or drug impairment significantly reduces a driver’s judgment and ability to control their vehicle.

  • Mid-Block Crossing:

    While pedestrians should always cross at designated areas, drivers still have a duty to maintain a proper lookout and drive safely, and they must always try to avoid hitting a person.

As a pedestrian, you are legally entitled to compensation if you are injured due to the negligence of a driver. This includes Accident Benefits from your own insurer, regardless of fault, and the right to file a tort claim for damages against the at-fault driver.

What to Do After a
Pedestrian Accident in Brampton

Immediately following a pedestrian accident, the trauma can make it difficult to think clearly. However, the actions you take in the moments and days following the incident can significantly impact your future legal claim.

Prioritize Your Safety and Health

  • 1. Seek Immediate Medical Attention:

    Your health is the absolute top priority. Even if you feel fine, some serious injuries, like concussions or internal trauma, may not be immediately apparent. See a doctor or go to the nearest hospital, like Brampton Civic Hospital, and be sure to clearly document your injuries and treatment.

  • 2. Contact the Police:

    An official police report documenting the collision is crucial for your claim.

  • 3. Gather Information:

    If you are physically able, collect the driver’s name, insurance information, license plate number, and contact information for any witnesses. Take photographs or video of the accident scene, any visible injuries, and the damage to the vehicle.

Protect Your Legal Rights

  • 4. Do Not Provide a Recorded Statement:

    Do not provide a statement or sign any documents for the at-fault driver’s insurance company without speaking to a legal professional first. Insurance adjusters are trained to minimize payouts.

  • 5. Contact a Pedestrian Accident Lawyer in Brampton:

    The legal process is complex, particularly when dealing with insurance companies. Contacting an experienced lawyer right away ensures that evidence is preserved and that all deadlines for filing your claim are met.

At Zayouna Law Firm, we are available 24/7 to provide immediate guidance after an accident.

Frequently Asked Questions

What kind of compensation can I recover after a pedestrian accident?

Compensation for a pedestrian accident can cover two main areas: Accident Benefits (non-fault benefits from your own insurer) and a Tort Claim (damages from the at-fault driver). You may be eligible to recover damages for:

  • Medical and rehabilitation expenses
  • Lost wages and loss of future income
  • Pain and suffering
  • Housekeeping and attendant care expenses
  • Other out-of-pocket costs related to the accident

The limitation periods in Ontario personal injury law are strict. You typically have two years from the date of the accident to commence a lawsuit (tort claim). However, there are shorter, critical deadlines for filing an Application for Accident Benefits (ABs), which you should file as soon as possible after the accident. It is always safest to contact a lawyer immediately to ensure all deadlines are met.

Ontario operates under a system of modified comparative negligence. This means that even if you were partially responsible for the accident—for example, by crossing mid-block—you may still be entitled to recover compensation, though your final settlement may be reduced by your percentage of fault. An experienced Pedestrian Accident Lawyer is essential to properly determine fault and protect your right to compensation.

“I have known Samiya Ahmad for many years and I can say, without a doubt, that she is an excellent lawyer with fantastic intuition and a genuine desire to promote the well being of her clients. In my opinion this is exactly what you should look for in a lawyer, someone with not just a degree, but rather an individual who has excellent legal skills and is able to apply them in a practical and passionate manner. In a marketplace with so many mixed messages and (unfortunately) unreliable service providers, I am glad that lawyers such as Samiya exist as an exception from the rule.”
