Our pedestrian accident attorneys understand that our clients are not just dealing with painful injuries in the aftermath of a pedestrian accident. They also have to deal with the financial toll the accident takes on their lives.
Let’s face it – getting injured is expensive. The cost of medical treatment – especially surgeries, hospital stays, scans, physical therapy, and rehabilitation – is astronomically high. Depending on the severity of your injury, you may not be able to return to work right away, if at all. So, you’re losing a paycheck while you’re watching mounting medical bills come your way. The word “stressful” is an understatement.
Many victims will incur out-of-pocket expenses, even if they have insurance. For example, a broken bone can cost up to $2,500 out of pocket. Without health insurance, the cost of a broken bone surgery can be anywhere from $17,000 to $35,000. Traumatic brain injuries and spinal cord injuries can cost over $1 million in a victim’s lifetime.
A Regan Zambri Long Arlington personal injury attorney will seek compensation that will offset all medical costs from your accident. We firmly believe our clients should never pay for someone else’s negligence. That’s why we work around the clock building a rock-solid case that will secure a settlement in your favor.
Unfortunately, there are several different ways a pedestrian can be injured on Arlington roadways.

Think about this – when an Arlington pedestrian is hit by a motor vehicle, the force of the accident is going to be greater on the pedestrian than on the passengers in the car. Let’s say the average Virginian weighs about 150-180 pounds. An average car weighs about 4,000 pounds. The car is 22 times the size of the pedestrian!
What makes it even worse is that the passengers in the car have the structure of the car to protect them. Cars are built to absorb a huge portion of any car accident. The pedestrian, however, has little to no protection during the accident. This is why pedestrian accidents can cause severe and even fatal injuries to the pedestrian victims.
Arlington’s Vision Zero crash data shows how serious these incidents can be. Between 2020 and 2024, there were 483 pedestrian crashes in Arlington, four of which were fatal. In 2024 alone, the 112 recorded pedestrian crashes resulted in no fatalities, 15 severe injuries, 85 visible injuries, and 12 nonvisible injuries.
The most common injuries that can be sustained during a pedestrian accident are:
