A pedestrian is completely vulnerable and unprotected on the road. Because of this, they often suffer life-changing or fatal injuries when struck by a negligent motorist. If you were struck by a vehicle while walking, contact a pedestrian accident lawyer at Loncar Lyon Jenkins today. Our legal team can help you recover compensation for your medical bills, pain and suffering, lost wages, and other damages. We understand how important it is for pedestrian accident victims to recover the compensation they deserve, as soon as possible.
At Loncar Lyon Jenkins, a pedestrian accident lawyer on our legal team will help guide you through the claims process, every step of the way. They can gather the evidence you need to prove liability and the severity of your injuries, negotiate with the insurance company, and fight for your right to fair compensation.
Most accidents involving pedestrians are preventable. These types of accidents are often caused by reckless, negligent drivers who refuse to respect the rights of pedestrians or fail to see them on the road. A pedestrian accident lawyer will gather evidence before it fades or is lost and determine which party should be held liable. Evidence can include photos of road conditions, skid marks, vehicle damage, police reports, video footage from traffic light cams or nearby businesses, and more. Your pedestrian accident attorney will also consult with experts, such as accident reconstructionists, to prove liability, in addition to other types of experts, such as physicians, to prove the severity of your injuries.
Being hit by a vehicle can be devastating. Pedestrian accident victims can face a long recovery, may be out of work, and can require extensive ongoing medical treatment. At Loncar Lyon Jenkins, your pedestrian accident attorney will go above and beyond to build a strong case and help you recover maximum compensation for your economic and non-economic losses.
If you were injured in a pedestrian accident, the driver’s insurance company may contact you by phone and ask to record your statement. During this time, they may ask misleading and confusing questions, hoping you will accidentally say something that could harm your claim. They may also offer you a settlement, which may be tempting to accept, but these settlements are often never enough to cover the total cost of accident-related losses. When the settlement offer is made, the claims adjuster may not even know the extent of your injuries. These settlement offers are made in the hope that an accident victim will accept the money and simply go away.
When an accident victim hires an attorney, the insurance company automatically knows that it’s going to have to pay more. Instead of speaking to the insurance company, contact a pedestrian accident lawyer at Loncar Lyon Jenkins. An attorney on our legal team will handle all communication with the insurance company, including settlement negotiations. They are familiar with the tactics and tricks that insurance companies try to use to minimize payout or deny a claim and they will not back down until an insurance company offers you the compensation you deserve. If the claims adjuster refuses to make a reasonable settlement offer, your pedestrian accident attorney will be prepared to represent you in court. The majority of the time, an insurance company is more willing to make a reasonable settlement offer once a lawsuit has been filed.
