People walk for numerous reasons—relaxation, exercise, or simply as a means of transportation. However, no matter how careful they may be, pedestrians also face risks to their safety and personal health.
Pedestrian accidents may occur in different ways, such as being sideswiped by a passenger car, being hit while exiting a car or bus, or being struck at a crosswalk. Many times, drivers are simply unaware of or inattentive to the presence of pedestrians on the road. Accident victims then suffer from various severe or catastrophic injuries that can change their lives dramatically. These include spinal cord injuries, traumatic brain injuries, broken bones, and amputation.
If your pedestrian accident is the result of the careless or negligent actions of another individual, it would be in your best interests to seek legal representation from the HWG Law Firm. We will protect your rights and see to it that you are rightfully compensated for your injuries and losses.
Seek Legal Representation
Just like any motorist involved an auto accident, an individual injured in a pedestrian accident is entitled to seek financial compensation for any damages and losses and recover the same types of damages as an auto accident victim. These include past and future medical costs, lost wages, property damage, emotional distress, and pain and suffering. In order to successfully file a claim, however, it would be best for a victim to seek legal representation from an experienced pedestrian accident lawyer.
Among the unfortunate challenges brought about by pedestrian accidents is dealing with uncooperative insurance companies. Insurance companies are known for denying or minimizing a legitimate claim to save money.
A qualified lawyer will be knowledgeable of the unique issues arising from pedestrian injuries and accidents, and will be able to conduct a prompt investigation of the case at hand. A competent lawyer will be able to negotiate with the insurance company on your behalf, and ultimately help you obtain the full and fair compensation to which you are entitled.
