Pedestrian Accident

Pedestrian accidents occur when pedestrians are struck by automobiles, trucks, motorcycles or other vehicles while walking across an intersection. Most pedestrian accidents are attributed to drivers’ negligence. Pedestrian accidents occur when drivers drive over the speed limit, fail to stop for pedestrians crossing the street, when a driver is under the influence of drugs or alcohol or when the driver is pre-occupied and does not pay attention to the road.

A pedestrian involved in a pedestrian accident can suffer personal injuries such as head injury, spinal cord injury, broken bones, back injuries and other serious injuries, sometimes even wrongful death. The personal injuries caused by pedestrian accidents may require extended periods of time to heal, high medical bills and time away from work or other activities.

A personal injury lawyer can conduct a full investigation of your case. A personal injury lawyer can interview witnesses, contact the police department, review collision reports and take all necessary approaches to ensure that the pedestrian is justly compensated for their personal injury. A personal injury lawyer can also help you recover medical bills, pain and suffering, lost wages, loss of consortium or permanent impairment/disfigurement.
