Pedestrian Injury
Pedestrian deaths are second only to occupant deaths in vehicular
accidents. While crossing the street is a skill everybody learns, it is not
something that can be taken for granted. Every year, thousands of pedestrians
are injured. If you are injured, you may be eligible for compensation for your
injuries. Be sure you get all the information you can about the accident. Secure
any evidence available, find out the names and contact information of witnesses,
and get the names and insurance information of the driver involved. Witnesses
are especially important to furnish evidence as to whose negligence caused the
injuries. In general, pedestrians have the right of way. You will be questioned
as to whether you used due care in crossing, used proper crossing locations,
etc. You may want to contact an attorney to assist you.
If you or a loved one is in need of legal assistance, call or submit an online
questionnaire. The initial consultation is free of charge, and if we agree
to handle your case, in most cases we will work on a contingency fee basis,
which means we get paid for our services only if there is a monetary recovery
of funds. In many cases, a lawsuit must be filed before an applicable expiration
date, known as a statute of limitations. Please call right away to ensure that
you do not waive your right to possible compensation.
