Mississauga Pedestrian Accident Lawyer


Without a doubt, pedestrians are the road-users who are most in danger of losing their lives when struck by negligent drivers. In Mississauga, pedestrian accidents frequently lead to senseless, violent, and entirely preventable fatalities

In accordance with the province’s Highway Traffic Act, anyone who operates a motor vehicle has the legal obligation to do so with a reasonable degree of caution and in consideration of the safety of all road-users, including pedestrians. If a driver fails to uphold this duty of care by engaging in wrongful, unlawful conduct behind the wheel, their actions could have deadly consequences for unsuspecting pedestrians. 

When a negligent driver fails to consider the potential outcomes of their wrongful actions, family members can lose their close relatives in the blink of an eye. In the shocking aftermath of a deadly pedestrian accident, bereaved relatives often incur substantial financial losses as a result of their loved one’s death. In these cases, grieving family members may choose to pursue civil action against the at-fault driver by filing a wrongful death claim.

Deadly pedestrian accidents in Mississauga are worryingly common. According to Peel Regional Police, nearly half of all fatal collisions in the area involve a pedestrian. These tragic accidents are indicative of a wider trend: drivers with little or no consideration for the safety of other, more vulnerable community members.

Because of a driver’s negligence, families can be torn apart, innocent lives can be meaninglessly stolen away, and ordinary people can sustain extraordinary, even catastrophic injuries. Hundreds of pedestrians in the region are hospitalized each year because of the actions of negligent drivers. Common violations of traffic laws that often lead to injury-causing pedestrian accidents include:

  • Driving under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs
  • Texting while driving
  • Distracted driving
  • Speeding
  • Ignoring traffic signs/signals
  • Stunt driving / street racing

As the result of a negligent driver’s unlawful actions, injured pedestrians often incur significant economic and non-economic losses. This is especially true for catastrophically injured pedestrians who are no longer able to participate in the activities they used to enjoy before sustaining their permanent, severe injuries and whose qualities of life were significantly diminished because of a perfect stranger’s wrongful conduct behind the wheel.
