Norfolk Pedestrian Accident Attorney
Hit by a Car While Walking in Norfolk? Choose a Law Firm That Knows How These Cases Are Really Fought in Virginia.
Pedestrian accident claims in Virginia are unforgiving. If an insurance company can blame you for even 1% of the accident, your claim can be denied entirely. At Kalfus & Nachman PC, we’ve spent over 46 years fighting — and winning — complex injury cases in Norfolk, including pedestrian accidents where insurers tried to shift blame onto the victim.
We prepare every case for trial, front all litigation costs, and don’t get paid unless we recover compensation for you. We’ve recovered millions for seriously injured Virginians and are known for taking on insurance companies that refuse to accept responsibility.

Why Pedestrian Accidents Are Especially Dangerous in Norfolk
Norfolk’s dense traffic patterns, military and maritime activity, and high-volume commuter corridors create unique dangers for pedestrians. Many serious pedestrian accidents occur:
- At busy intersections and crosswalks with heavy vehicle flow
- In parking lots and retail areas where drivers fail to check for foot traffic
- In residential neighborhoods with speeding or distracted drivers
- Near school zones and areas with high pedestrian activity
When a pedestrian is struck by a motor vehicle, injuries are often severe — including broken bones, spinal cord injuries, and traumatic brain injuries. These cases require immediate legal action and a firm that understands both Virginia law and local Norfolk conditions.
