Pedestrian accidents are typically going to result in claims based on negligence, which are going to have a three year statute of limitations. However, this could be subject to the circumstances of the defendant itself and can be shorter depending on whether or not that defendant is perhaps driving a vehicle owned by a municipality. Things of that nature, which is why it’s very important to have the right law firm that can look into these things, because issues where a vehicle is owned by a municipality require notices of claim be filed within 90 days. Without which the client, if they don’t meet that 90 day filing period, will have forfeited their right to file a pedestrian accident claim.
