Premises Liability Lawyer Will Fight For Compensation

​

Drivers and passengers are not the only people at risk when car accidents happen. Pedestrians are severely injured or even killed in crashes every day across the country and around the world. 

 

At Winner Injury Law Firm, we help injured pedestrians get back on their feet after an accident by maximizing the compensation available under the law. A pedestrian accident lawyer at our firm will fight tirelessly to ensure you are fairly compensated, and those responsible for the crash are held fully accountable.

 

Pedestrian accidents can be caused by several different factors, from negligent driving to poor road design. Our attorney understands how to identify all parties potentially responsible for an accident and obtain compensation for our clients in court or through a negotiated settlement.

​

Common Pedestrian Accidents

​

Pedestrians are particularly at risk of injury in accidents because they often have little time to get out of the way and have little or no physical protection from oncoming vehicles.

The most common injuries of pedestrian accidents include:

• Scrapes and bruises

• Lacerations

• Fractures and broken bones

• Whiplash

• Scarring and disfigurement

• Head and neck injuries

• Spinal cord injuries

• Traumatic brain injuries

• Amputation

• Paralysis

 

Tragically, many pedestrian accidents end in death. A pedestrian accident lawyer at Winner Injury Law Firm can help families who have lost a loved one seek justice.

How to Get Compensation for Pedestrian Injuries

​

A pedestrian injured in an accident has the right to seek compensation from those responsible.

 

The damages in these cases usually include compensation for doctors’ bills and other costs related to the injuries and missed wages and other income while recuperating. Additional compensation is also available for the longer-term impact of the injuries, whether on the person’s earning capacity or ability to participate in and enjoy various life activities.

 

To get compensation, you have to be able to prove liability. Pedestrian accident cases are usually based on negligence claims, a legal theory that holds people and entities liable when they fail to live up to a certain standard of care.

 

Motor vehicle drivers, for example, are generally required to operate their vehicles in a reasonably safe manner. They are expected to abide by traffic laws, maintain appropriate speeds and remain alert at all times. They are also obligated to refrain from dangerous behavior like drinking and driving or texting behind the wheel.

 

A pedestrian accident lawyer at our firm can help you identify those responsible for a crash and build the strongest possible claim for money damages. An attorney will also resolve these cases efficiently, avoiding lengthy and drawn-out court battles whenever possible.
