Pedestrian accidents that occur on private property in Michigan may still be subject to personal injury claims, depending on the circumstances. Liability considerations may differ from accidents on public roads, so consulting with an attorney is recommended to assess your legal options.

Yes, absolutely. A pedestrian hit by a distracted driver—especially in a construction or work zone—has strong grounds for a personal injury lawsuit in Michigan.

According to the CDC and the Michigan Department of Transportation, distracted driving is one of the leading causes of pedestrian deaths and serious injuries. In work zones, the danger multiplies due to reduced visibility and narrow lanes.

If you were hit while walking or working in a marked zone, you may have claims against:

• The driver for negligence
• Their employer if they were driving for work (under respondeat superior)
• The company managing the work zone, if it was improperly marked or unsafe
