Pedestrian accidents

Personal Injury & Death >> Pedestrian Accident Attorney

There are certain laws and duties of a pedestrian and nearby drivers. The laws are in place to protect both the pedestrian and drivers. Pedestrians are subject to certain traffic laws, with respect to crosswalks, sidewalks, crossing the roadway, and standing in the roadway. Drivers are required to exercise care to avoid pedestrians.

A person operating an automobile in a negligent, careless or reckless manner is responsible to pay for any damages caused by his or her negligence. In most pedestrian cases, we can assist you in recovering your medical bills and lost wages, and other related expenses. In addition, if you sustained a serious injury, you may also be entitled to recover damages for pain and suffering, physical impairment, scarring and disfigurement, and diminished capacity for the enjoyment of life.

If a loved one dies as a result of a pedestrian-related accident, his or  her  survivors and estate may be entitled to recover damages for mental pain and suffering, loss of support and services, loss of the decedent’s companionship, as well as medical and funeral expenses.
