PEDESTRIAN ACCIDENT LAWYER

PEDESTRIAN VEHICLE COLLISIONS

Every time a pedestrian crosses the street, they are relying on the drivers around them to stay safe. It only takes a momentary distraction for a driver to strike a pedestrian. Pedestrian accidents can have very serious consequences; permanent injuries and death are not uncommon outcomes. We understand the rights of pedestrian accident victims and use our experience and resources to provide compensation for them for things like medical bills and lost wages after the ordeal.

Our team of accident lawyers has the resources and experience to work with insurance adjusters. We know how they operate and how they will attempt to discredit your claims to pay the minimal amount. We believe in fair compensation, that will allow you and your family to fully recover from both personal injury and the pain and suffering that being hit by a car carries. That’s why our team will fight to get you every penny you are owed due to your injuries and recovery. Contact an experienced pedestrian accident lawyer today, and get a free consultation.

HOW DO PEDESTRIANS GET IN ACCIDENTS?

In a lot of cases, motor vehicle driver inattention causes a majority of pedestrian accidents. Drivers simply fail to see a pedestrian in enough time to prevent these kinds of pedestrian accidents. However, since drivers owe a duty of care to those they share the state’s roads with, simply failing to see a pedestrian in time is not an excusable offense. Negligent drivers who hit pedestrians, if found to be the causation of the pedestrian accident, can be ordered by a court to pay monetary compensation to those they injure. You need a professional pedestrian accident attorney to help recover compensation for your injuries. Contact us today to speak with a lawyer and get a free consultation.

PEDESTRIANS & RIGHT OF WAY

It might surprise you, but it’s actually a myth that pedestrians always have the right of way when they’re crossing a street. Much like cyclists and automobiles, they must obey the rules of the road. These rules include:

• Obeying traffic lights and signs
• Obeying a crossing guard’s instructions
• Crossing the road at a marked crosswalk
• Use the sidewalk, if one is available, rather than walking down the street
• Avoid walking near roads while under the influence of alcohol or drugs

If a pedestrian accident occurs, and the pedestrian involved was ignoring or violating these rules, they may have a more difficult time getting compensated for their accident. That’s why a pedestrian accident lawyer is crucial—our team of accident lawyers know these rules forwards and backwards, and can help you find out if you have a claim or not.
