Serving injured pedestrians
in Charlotte and across NC
You had the right of way, and a driver hit you anyway. Our Charlotte crosswalk injury lawyers stand up for pedestrians and fight for full compensation.
If you were hit in a crosswalk, you deserve more than just an apology. You deserve accountability.
You did everything right. You used the crosswalk. You waited for the signal. And still—someone wasn’t paying attention. Or they were in a hurry. Or they “didn’t see you.” And now you’re left with injuries, medical bills, and a life that feels completely off-track.
At Johnson & Groninger PLLC, we help people in Charlotte who were hit while using a crosswalk. These cases aren’t just about broken bones or insurance forms. They’re about your right to walk safely in your own city. And when that right is violated, we step in.
Charlotte has grown fast—and the infrastructure hasn’t always kept up. With more people walking in neighborhoods like South End, NoDa, and Uptown, the risk of pedestrian accidents has increased. Crosswalks aren’t always clearly marked. Speeding and distracted driving are common. And even when pedestrians follow the law, drivers don’t always do the same.
We’ve represented injured pedestrians in:
Whether the driver ran a red light or simply failed to yield, you shouldn’t be the one left to pay the price.
In North Carolina, drivers are required to yield to pedestrians in marked crosswalks. And at intersections without signals, drivers must stop for pedestrians who are crossing within any clearly marked or unmarked crosswalk.
But here’s what makes these cases tricky: North Carolina follows contributory negligence laws. That means if the insurance company can show you were even 1% at fault, they may deny your claim entirely.
That’s why it’s critical to have a legal team that knows how to shut down those arguments before they gain traction. We work fast to gather surveillance footage, witness statements, traffic signal data, and crash reports that support your side—so you’re not blamed for a crash you didn’t cause.
If you were hit in a crosswalk, here are the most important steps you can take:
The sooner you act, the more we can do to preserve evidence and protect your right to full compensation.
When a vehicle strikes a person, the injuries are rarely “minor.” Pedestrians have no protection—and the human body simply can’t absorb that kind of impact.
We’ve helped clients with:
Whether your injuries require surgery, rehabilitation, or long-term care, we build a case that reflects everything this crash has cost you—not just what shows up on a receipt.
If someone else caused your injuries, you may be entitled to compensation for:
Insurance companies often try to minimize what your case is “worth.” We make sure they see the full picture.
You only get one shot at getting this right. Here’s how we make sure it counts:
We track down camera footage, map the crash scene, and work with experts to reconstruct what happened—before the evidence disappears.
You won’t have to argue with adjusters or worry about saying the wrong thing. We take over all communication and negotiations.
We know Charlotte’s intersections, traffic patterns, and city ordinances. We use that local knowledge to strengthen your claim.
Most cases settle—but we prepare every case like it won’t. That pressure often leads to better results without setting foot in court.
Depending on the facts, your case may involve:
We don’t stop at the obvious. We identify all potentially liable parties to make sure you’re not left with a partial recovery.
You didn’t cause this. And you shouldn’t have to fight for accountability alone. Whether you were hit while crossing Tryon Street, near a school zone in Dilworth, or walking home from work in Plaza Midwood—if someone failed to yield, we’re here to stand with you.

That doesn’t mean you’re at fault. Drivers are legally required to be alert and yield to pedestrians in marked crosswalks. We push back on weak excuses.
