Attorney for Pedestrian Accidents Serving South Florida

Effects of Pedestrian Accidents

Unfortunately, a pedestrian struck by a vehicle will often suffer serious injuries. The vehicle's speed can even be quite slow at the time of the accident and still cause severe injuries. It is also unfortunate that at times the blame may try and be placed on the pedestrian, with alleged negligence such as not looking out for one's own safety, or wearing dark clothes when in a poorly lit area and when the weather makes visibility difficult. Pedestrian accidents can occur almost anywhere, waiting for a bus, crossing the street in a controlled crosswalk, walking through a parking lot and even on a sidewalk. If you or a loved one has been badly hurt  after being struck by a driver who was careless or negligent, any losses you have suffered may be recouped through a personal injury claim. Consulting with a Boca Raton personal injury attorney will assist you in finding out what your rights are.

You become quickly aware of the emotional toll and stress that can affect one after such an accident. The circumstances following a pedestrian accident can lead to serious injuries such as broken bones, partial paralysis, brain injuries and possible death affecting you and your family for the rest of your life. The treatment you receive can be both painful and require long term medical care. You could lose your job due to being away from your employment for any length of time, not to mention the medical costs involved. You should be aware that the negligent party's insurance company may try and contact you to settle, but in any attempt at negotiating, knowledgeable legal counsel is strongly advised due to the  often long term effects of such an accident.
