Where Do Pedestrian Accidents Happen?
Pedestrian accidents can happen anywhere that reckless drivers are around. But where do they happen the most often?
Pedestrian accidents happen in these locations more often than others:
- Busy intersections
- Streets without crosswalks
- Rural roads
- Parking lots
If your accident happened at one of these locations, then we might have an easier time collecting the evidence required to build your case. If not, then you don’t need to worry, still. Our team has experience investigating all types of accidents, no matter where they occur.
Serious Injuries Suffered by Pedestrians
Pedestrians who get hit by cars can suffer devastating injuries. They have no protection against the heavy frame of the vehicle, so the full force of the impact is imparted onto them. They need medical attention immediately in practically every case.
Serious injuries suffered by pedestrians include:
- Brain injuries
- Back injuries
- Permanent scarring
- Broken bones
The medical costs to treat your injuries could be dramatic. We want to make certain you are compensated fully, so you can get the most medical care you need to recover as much as you can. This might mean filing a claim against multiple policies or liable parties if possible.
Can You Sue a Driver Who Left the Scene?
Drivers who cause pedestrian accidents sometimes flee because they know they did something very wrong. If the driver leaves the scene before you can identify them, then your chances of making a recovery will be jeopardized. You cannot file a claim against a driver who was never identified, after all.
You could have two options for making a recovery:
- Assist the police as much as you can with their investigation and then file against the hit-and-run driver if they are caught.
- Use your UM/UIM insurance to seek compensation from your insurance provider if the driver is never found.
Our law firm can assist you in either situation. We want to do whatever it takes to get you back on your feet as soon as possible.
