Causes of Pedestrian Accidents
Drivers like to blame pedestrians for pedestrian accidents. Of course, this is not fair because many pedestrian accidents are caused fully by the driver’s negligence. Our firm can investigate the cause of your accident, so we can prove with evidence that all the liability should be put on the motorist with none of it placed on you.
Common causes of pedestrian accidents include drivers who:
- Drive on pedestrian-only avenues
- Speed in parking lots
- Don’t stop at red light intersections
- Text and drive
Severe Injuries Suffered by Pedestrians
The result of an average pedestrian accident can be catastrophic. The force of a car hitting a person is devastating, to say the least. It is common for pedestrians to suffer life-changing injuries in a split second because of a driver’s mistakes.
In a pedestrian accident claim, the following injuries are often cited:
- Traumatic brain injuries (TBIs)
- Spinal cord injuries
- Multiple broken bones
- Permanent disfigurement
- Amputations
- Internal organ damage
The cost of treatments required by a pedestrian accident survivor can be steep. It is not unusual for a survivor to need weeks of hospitalization if not more. Be sure you are ready to fight for every dollar of compensation owed to you, or you could be left stuck with heavy medical bills and debt.
Should You Hire a Lawyer?
Do you need an attorney to help with your pedestrian accident claim? Although it is not legally necessary to hire a lawyer, it is always highly encouraged. Even insurance defense teams will sometimes tell claimants that they should consult with a pedestrian accident attorney in Toledo so they can fully understand the situation.
You should probably hire a lawyer for your pedestrian accident case if you:
- Are not trained in liability law
- Have serious injuries
- Have significant unpaid bills and damages
- Expect the driver to blame you
