Pedestrian Accidents Create Incredible, Ongoing Loss
Pedestrians struck by vehicles often suffer serious injuries, many of which are life-threatening. Broken bones, head injuries, and spinal cord damage are common. Road rash can lead to skin infections and amputations. Victims often experience numerous medical complications from those injuries, including permanent loss of mobility, vision loss, and disability. When you have those types of injuries, proving fault is critical.
Most of the time, a pedestrian has the right of way. If a pedestrian is in a crosswalk, drivers must stop whenever possible. However, with so much on the line, it can become challenging to prove losses and recover enough compensation. Having an attorney matters.
