Pedestrian Accidents
Injured in a Pedestrian Accident? We Can Help.
Every year, the U.S. sees more than 4,500 fatal pedestrian accidents, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. In many of these accidents, the pedestrian had the right of way — crossing the street on a green light when the driver of a car made a right turn, entered the crosswalk and ran over the victim.
It's No Contest: When a pedestrian is hit by a car, truck or bus — the unprotected individual typically suffers catastrophic or fatal injury.
If you or a member of your family was the victim of a pedestrian accident, who will pay for your losses? It costs you nothing to consult with an experienced personal injury lawyer and see that you recover all compensation you are entitled to. Contact the personal attorneys at Gary Martin Hays & Associates.
Pedestrians Suffer Serious Injuries
Certain types of serious injuries are common in pedestrian accidents: traumatic brain injuries (TBI), open head injuries, spinal cord injuries, back and neck injuries, and multiple fractures. The cost of long-term care — including future medical treatment and physical therapy as well as nursing care for seriously disabled patients — may quickly exhaust any one insurance policy. Our lawyers work hard to see that our clients get the help they need by identifying all possible sources of compensation.
Coordination of Insurance Claims
In addition to your health insurance and liability insurance covering the driver of the car, you may be entitled to compensation from the uninsured or underinsured motorist provisions of auto insurance policies covering various members of your household. Our lawyer will coordinate auto insurance claims with health insurance claims for maximum benefit. Depending on the circumstances, there may be an additional personal injury claim.
