Pedestrian accidents are among the most devastating types of personal injury cases. When a vehicle strikes a pedestrian, the injuries are almost always severe — broken bones, spinal cord damage, traumatic brain injuries, and worse. SettleWell connects pedestrian accident victims with specialized attorneys and medical providers.
What compensation can pedestrian accident victims recover?
Pedestrian accident victims can recover compensation for all medical expenses, rehabilitation costs, lost wages, diminished earning capacity, pain and suffering, and emotional distress. Because pedestrian accident injuries are typically severe, settlements tend to be substantial.
Who is at fault in a pedestrian accident?
In most pedestrian accident cases, the driver bears primary liability. However, liability can also extend to municipalities for dangerous road conditions or property owners for poorly maintained sidewalks. SettleWell's attorneys investigate every angle of your pedestrian accident.
Steps to take after a pedestrian accident
After a pedestrian accident, seek immediate medical attention. If possible, document the scene and get witness information. File a police report. Do not accept any settlement from the driver's insurance without consulting an attorney. Contact SettleWell for a free pedestrian accident case review.
