As with all personal injury cases, pedestrian accidents and the extent of compensation depend on a few common factors, especially: negligence, meaning that the other party was directly responsible for the accident and your injuries; and the extent of your injuries and the potential long-term care necessary for them.

Your compensation for your pedestrian accident will depend on factors that are unique to your case, such as the severity of your injuries, degree of fault on the defendant, and how the accident occurred. Here are some general statistics for pedestrian accident compensation in Illinois:

  • In Illinois, the average compensation for pedestrian accident-victims is $500,000;
  • Illinois median returns for pedestrian accidents are $35,000 – 45,000;
  • In Illinois, about two-thirds (66%) of all pedestrian accident cases receive less than $100,000 in compensation, and about 14% of cases receive more than $1 million;
  • In Cook County, about 60% of cases receive less than $100,000 in compensation and about 20% of cases receive more than $1 million.
