Pedestrian Accidents
Arizona Pedestrian Accident Lawyer
The driver of a motor vehicle has the duty to operate their vehicle in a safe manner so that they do not cause harm to a pedestrian. But, motorists are often careless and do not see a pedestrian who is crossing a street or walking across a driveway.
Pedestrian accidents provide the basis for bodily injury even more severe than those suffered in motorcycle, truck, semi truck and tractor trailer accidents. A negligent driver can cause serious bodily injury and extraordinary suffering and loss to pedestrians that have a great impact not only on the injured pedestrian but also family members as well. Injured pedestrians who are a victim of a motor vehicle accident and their family members may suffer economic loss, mental anguish and loss of companionship and assistance. In the event of a death, families are torn apart without warning.
Under the Laws of the State of Arizona, If You Are a Pedestrian Who Has Been Injured by a Motor Vehicle Then You Are Entitled to Recover Compensation for Your Personal Injury
In pedestrian accident cases, the injured pedestrian may bring a claim to recover compensation for medical and rehabilitative expenses, physical and mental pain and suffering, past and future lost income, loss of future earning potential, permanent impairment and disfigurement, loss of enjoyment of life, and various other harms and losses. Family members may also be able to recover compensation for their mental anguish and the loss of companionship and assistance.
Assessing Your Injuries and Bodily Injury Damages
A pedestrian injured in a motor vehicle accident is entitled to the full amount of money that will reasonably and fairly compensate them for each of the following elements of damages proved by the evidence to have resulted from the accident:
- The nature, extent, and duration of the injury.
- The pain, discomfort, suffering, disability, disfigurement, and anxiety already experienced, and reasonably probable to be experienced in the future as a result of the injury.
- Reasonable expenses of necessary medical care, treatment, and services rendered, and reasonably probable to be incurred in the future.
- Lost earnings to date, and any decrease in earning power or capacity in the future.
- Loss of love, care, affection, companionship, and other pleasures of the marital or family relationship.
- Loss of enjoyment of life, that is, the participation in life’s activities to the quality and extent normally enjoyed before the injury.
Helping Hit and Run Victims
An automobile accident in which the driver is not known presents unique legal issues for a pedestrian who has been injured. If you have been injured by a hit and run driver, we will pursue a thorough investigation and do everything we can to identify sources of compensation for you. This includes potential claims under Arizona’s uninsured motorist law and automobile medical payments and personal injury protection benefits.
Pedestrian Accident Injury Victims Who Have an Experienced Attorney Representing Them Receive Higher Compensation on Their Personal Injury Claims
If you have been in a pedestrian accident, consider the following reasons why you will benefit from contacting us.
Claims involving pedestrian accidents can be extremely complicated. Insurance companies often try to undermine the pedestrian’s claim, or minimize or deny the injured pedestrian full compensation for their injuries and losses. Insurance companies try to place blame on the pedestrian in an effort to reduce or deny compensation. They may claim that the pedestrian was not paying attention to traffic or was not obeying the law. Arizona law generally provides that pedestrians have the right-of-way. But, pedestrians are also required to obey laws such as crossing streets in designated crosswalks and obeying signals at controlled intersections.
We do not accept any arguments shifting blame or responsibility to the injured pedestrian for the accident or the injuries. We use our in-depth knowledge and understanding of the law and the evidence to refute the insurance company’s claim that you were at fault.
