What You Need to Know About Pedestrian Accidents

Every year, roughly 15 percent of traffic accidents involve pedestrians, all of which result in serious injuries. If you or a loved one was struck by a vehicle while you were walking or riding a bicycle, it's important to know your rights and how a pedestrian accident lawyer can help.

Pedestrian accidents can cause the following:

• Brain injury
• Spinal injury
• Broken bones
• Amputation
• Paralysis

These catastrophic injuries are life altering. They can leave you and your family with heavy financial burdens. However, working with a pedestrian accident lawyer can help get the compensation you and your family so rightly deserve.

The money recovered in your case can be used for expenses related to the accident, including:

• Current and ongoing medical treatments
• Rehabilitation
• Lost wages
• Pain and suffering
• Psychological counseling

An attorney can help negotiate with insurance companies to ensure you get a fair settlement or pursue a lawsuit for fair compensation. Fortunately, that's where the attorneys at Findlay Personal Injury Lawyers come into play.

Because of our vast combined experience, we can help you navigate the intricacies involved in your case. By meeting with you in person, we can determine if a lawsuit or a settlement is the best course of action for you and your family.
