Pedestrian Accidents Attorney

Going for a walk shouldn’t be dangerous, but for many pedestrians, distracted or careless drivers pose a significant danger. Pedestrians have the right-of-way in most situations, but even when they don’t or are jaywalking, drivers are expected to avoid hitting them! If you have been injured in a pedestrian accident, whether you were hit by a driver, cyclist, or otherwise injured while walking, a pedestrian accidents attorney can help you learn more about your options to seek compensation.

Pedestrian accidents can result in severe, sometimes fatal injuries. You could be permanently disabled or suffer months of painful healing and recovery. Your attorney’s advice can be invaluable to ensuring that you receive fair compensation from the at-fault party for your injuries and losses. At The Turnbull Firm, we offer a complimentary initial consultation for pedestrian injury victims. Contact us today to schedule yours.

What Does A Pedestrian Accident Lawyer Do?

Pedestrian accident lawyers are personal injury attorneys who help people who were hurt in a pedestrian accident secure the compensation they are entitled to for their medical care, pain and suffering, lost wages, and property damage. Pedestrians may also include someone who was riding a scooter or roller-skating; we can evaluate your situation and advise you of your options. You may have high medical bills after your accident and require surgery, physical therapy, or other rehabilitative care to recover.

As your legal advocate, we investigate the accident to gather evidence that the person or party who caused it was negligent. This may include reviewing traffic camera footage or data from the driver’s dashcam showing what happened. We can also interview witnesses and employ expert witnesses to help us build your case. We then file the suit and address all the legal matters required to advance your claim. Our goal is to either achieve a fair settlement out of court, in negotiations with the other party or take the case to trial if negotiations fail. We’re committed to getting a top-dollar settlement for you.

Securing Fair Compensation In A Pedestrian Accident Claim

When you work with an experienced attorney, you may be able to get a higher settlement than you would without a lawyer. Our legal team has decades of combined experience properly valuing claims like yours, including anticipating medical needs you could have in the future. If you’re out of work for several months to recover from your injuries, you deserve compensation for the amount of your unearned wages, as well.

We also consider your non-economic losses, like the pain and suffering from your injuries and the emotional trauma you may have suffered from the accident. Many pedestrian accident victims also suffer from mental health and emotional complications after the accident, like developing anxiety, depression, PTSD, or stress over the extent of their injuries. While these injuries are non-material, they do have value, and you deserve fair consideration for them in your settlement.
