Being struck by a vehicle can be a traumatic experience with severe, debilitating, and often fatal injuries. The injuries are typically severe, permanently disabling, and are often accompanied by massive medical debt. The aftermath that follows such an accident can be chaotic. Our personal injury attorneys have years of experience to help you navigate your case.

Determining Liability

Determining liability in auto/pedestrian collisions often comes down to arguments over right-of-way, lines of sight, and the dynamics of the collision.  Therefore, it is especially important that you speak with an experienced attorney to discuss your case and options before contacting any insurance companies. 

What compensation can you pursue?

The damages you may be able to claim include past and future:

  • Medical Expenses
  • Loss of Wages 
  • Pain and suffering / Mental Anguish
  • Physical Impairment
  • Disfigurement
  • Loss of consortium

What to do after a Pedestrian Accident? 

  • Call 911 and wait for law enforcement and EMS to arrive.
  • Take photos of the incident.
  • Get contact information of witnesses (if possible).
  • Get appropriate medical treatment. 
  • Avoid speaking to an insurance company until you have spoken with a lawyer.
