Pedestrians Are Susceptible to Serious Injuries Hire a Serious Injury Firm to Handle Your Claim

While travel via motor vehicle is essential for most people, many still travel by foot. Some do not have far to travel, and some simply do not have access to a car. Regardless of your reasons for traveling by foot, you are afforded rights as a pedestrian. Drivers are expected to observe traffic laws put in place to protect pedestrians, yet many end up causing catastrophic accidents that inflict grievous harm upon unassuming bystanders.

Collisions between motor vehicles and pedestrians are incredibly damaging, and many who are lucky to survive the ordeal do so with severe injuries that have lifelong consequences. Pedestrian accident injuries are well known to disable, scar, and disfigure people to the point that their whole lives change. Those harmed by negligent drivers this way often seek compensation for the level of damage done to them via legal action in the form of a negotiated settlement or a lawsuit.

Why Should I Hire a Pedestrian Accident Lawyer?

Trying to find a lawyer can be time-consuming, and positive results are not guaranteed, so many approach the prospect of hiring a lawyer with understandable wariness. Why not simply file a claim with the insurance company on your own and save some money by foregoing hiring a lawyer? In rare cases, this may be the right course to take. If you were lucky and your pedestrian accident only inflicted minor injuries, then hiring a lawyer may not be necessary since your damages are low enough that hiring a lawyer would essentially be overkill.

Pedestrian Accidents Require More Compensation and Are Fought Harder

Most pedestrian accidents inflict injuries that cause permanent damage, which means a much higher-value case in which it will be harder to get the full compensation value. High-value cases are much more difficult since the insurance company stands to lose more money and, therefore, will work harder to limit the amount they payout.

Insurance Companies Exploit Lawyerless Claimants

Taking on the insurance company on your own in your pedestrian accident case is a good way to have the amount of compensation you could potentially get significantly reduced or get your claim to compensation denied altogether. The reason for this is simple. Insurance companies will have you outgunned in almost every way. They have more experience, resources, knowledge, etc., that can be used to take advantage of you so that they can keep the money you need to cover pedestrian accident damages in their pockets.

Trying to handle your pedestrian accident case on your own gives them the advantage, and they know how to exploit this to the fullest. For example, insurance companies have all kinds of tricks they like to use to get claimants to make mistakes that can ruin their case. They may ask for a recorded statement or ask loaded questions to try and get you to accidentally admit fault, even if their client is entirely responsible for your injuries. They might also try to pitch you a lowball settlement available right away to trick you into accepting much less than what your case is actually worth.

Hiring Turnbull, Moak & Pendergrass sends a message that you and your case are to be taken seriously. Our attorneys will be with you from the first moment of day one, ensuring that your rights are respected and that your case is given the attention that it deserves. Turnbull, Moak & Pendergrass can provide you with the tools and resources to ensure that your case stands the best chance possible at getting maximum compensation to cover your pedestrian accident injury damages.

What Should I Do After a Pedestrian Accident?

Most pedestrian accidents are extremely severe and tend to do enough damage so that pedestrians are either rendered unconscious or in an inoperable state where an ambulance is required to get them to emergency treatment. However, there are still plenty of occasions where a pedestrian is still able to move and function enough to make some very important decisions. The following are some steps to take in the aftermath of a car colliding with you where you are still able to move:

1. Assess your safety and those around you.

2. Call 911 to report the accident and ask for medical assistance.

3. If possible, try not to move at all, stay put, and wait for emergency responders.

4. Exchange information with the driver or drivers.

5. Gather information from anyone who witnessed the accident, including their name and number. If possible, ask them to stay and speak to the police.

6. Take photos and videos of all the vehicles involved, the surrounding area, your injuries, and any other important info like skid marks.

7. Get medical treatment right away. Do not delay. Even if you think you are fine, let a professional determine that. Adrenaline and shock can cover up serious injuries at first.

8. Notify your insurance company as soon as possible, but stick to the facts.

9. Carefully maintain your own records and notes, including bills, reports, etc. Also, keep a journal of all calls, doctor visits, and anything else important, and write down what happened or was said.

10. Finally, contact a pedestrian accident attorney right away. The sooner you have legal representation, the better.

My initial feeling after speaking with Ashley was relief; I was confident she had what it took to get the absolute best outcome in our fight for justice for our little man! There was never a moment I felt in the dark, didn’t understand something, or couldn’t reach her to answer any question or concern. She always expressed a genuine concern, care, and love in fighting for what was the best interest of our son and us as a family. Ashley is highly proficient and knowledgeable in what she does and exceeded our expectations every step of the way. She is truly one BADASS attorney and Superwoman got nothing on her!!

Courteous, Tenacious, Professional and attention to detail in a calming manner is how I would describe Will Lattimore, the attorney assigned to me. I had a major surgical procedure done last year that went wrong and left me not as I was. I contacted all the major billboard and TV attorneys and no one was interested. I assume it was not drastic enough for them. I was referred by a friend to Turnbull, Moak & Pendergrass. From the beginning we met, Will, was very thorough in explaining how all will transpire in a timely manner. Patience, was the key, as it took a year for all the moving parts to work. During this time, I was contacted with steps and details being handled. I would highly recommend Will and this firm should you need legal representation.

After my car accident in 2020 life for my family turned upside-down. Everything, every movement every action took so much effort and thought, nothing about our life was easy anymore. I hired Tim Holdefer the 1st day we met, then he later on introduced us to Bobby at Turnbull to represent us in court. From the 1st conversations with Ashley on the phone I instantly felt cared for. I felt like my story mattered an I felt heard. Every step of the way they were by my side until we settled. Truly if my family, friends or I ever need a lawyer again for any reason I trust that if they can’t help, they will Send me to some one who will treat us equally as good… Thank you so much for all of your help, my family will never forget you all..

We heard about Ashley through word of mouth and I am so happy we did! She has been absolutely phenomenal to work with. My parents passed away in a trucking accident and through a devastating time Ashley stood by our side. She even came to New York for my parents funeral. She is a stand up person.

Common Pedestrian Accident Causes

Most pedestrian accidents tend to occur in urban areas with high concentrations of cars and pedestrians, which is unsurprising. Most pedestrian accidents will also occur away from intersections and crosswalks and involve pedestrians jaywalking. Also, the majority of pedestrian accidents tend to occur at night. This is mostly due to the lack of light, but it is also believed that intoxicated people partaking in nightlife do play a role as well. The following are the most common causes of pedestrian accidents:

  • Distracted driving
  • Drunk driving
  • Drowsy driving
  • Speeding
  • Running red lights
  • Failure to stop or yield

Drivers can be negligent in a number of ways that can cause a pedestrian accident. Unfortunately, many pedestrians can contribute negligence as well, which can disqualify them from seeking compensation for pedestrian accident injuries and make a determination of fault all the more complex. Alabama is a contributory fault state, which means that if you contribute fault in an accident, then you cannot seek compensation for damages you suffered, even if the other party was much more negligent.

Common Pedestrian Accident Injuries

  • Traumatic brain injuries
  • Back and neck injuries
  • Extremity injuries
  • Internal injuries
  • Broken/fractured bones
  • Psychological trauma
Background media

Pedestrian Accident Damages

The damages that one suffers as a result of pedestrian accident injuries can be crippling in more than the physical sense. People’s finances, careers, relationships, and psychological health can all be permanently affected by the injuries inflicted by a motor vehicle collision. The damages that one claims in a pedestrian accident lawsuit or claim consist of losses an injured pedestrian suffers because of their injuries. Some of the most common damages claimed in these types of cases include the following:

  • Lost wages
  • Medical bills
  • Lost earning potential
  • Scarring/disfigurement
  • Loss of enjoyment of life
  • Mental anguish
  • Pain and suffering

Knowing exactly which damages you can claim and properly calculating those damages are integral to the success of a pedestrian accident lawsuit. With the assistance of an experienced attorney, understanding your damages and the many other aspects of your personal injury are made much simpler.
