Northern Virginia Pedestrian Accident Attorneys - Fighting for Maximum Compensation - Jennifer Porter

From Jennifer Porter Law, PLLC – Northern Virginia Pedestrian Accident Attorneys - Fighting for Maximum Compensation explores what you need to know if you’ve been struck while walking in Virginia, with a focus on contributory negligence, insurance tactics, and legal rights in pedestrian accidents.

In this episode, we dive into how Virginia’s contributory negligence law can make it difficult for pedestrians to recover compensation—even if they are only partially at fault. We discuss what counts as fault, the ways that insurance companies try to shift blame, and why every detail matters when evidence disappears. Listeners will get a clear view of what it means to follow crossing signals, use sidewalks, and obey other pedestrian responsibilities.

We also pull back the curtain on what it’s like dealing with insurance companies: how they delay, deny, or downplay damages; how to document evidence with photos, videos, and witness statements; and what steps to take immediately following a collision—from contacting authorities to preserving your clothing, documenting injuries, and finding witnesses. We draw on Jennifer Porter’s own experience—from once defending insurance companies herself to now working on behalf of injured pedestrians.

Finally, we’ll cover what Jennifer Porter Law, PLLC does to support people through this process: communicating with insurers, proving liability, pushing for fair settlements, and standing ready to go to trial if needed. We’ll wrap up with tips for protecting your health and your legal rights, and when you should call an attorney. If you or someone you know is a pedestrian hit by a vehicle in Northern Virginia, this conversation aims to arm you with what you need to take action confidently.
