Struggles pedestrians may face after an accident

On behalf of Nield Law Group, APC | Sep 14, 2015 | Pedestrian Accidents

There are many dangers that pedestrians face when walking on or near the roads. Even though pedestrians may take all of the precautionary measures possible, accidents may still happen. The important part is understanding how to deal with the aftermath.

If you are a pedestrian that has been involved in an accident with a motorized vehicle, it is important for you to understand that you may face certain struggles after the accident has occurred. This can include lengthy court battles. As a pedestrian, you have the benefit of the doubt when it comes to determining who is responsible for the accident. However, you must be prepared for the fact that the opposition will still attempt to turn the blame toward you. They may attempt to say that you were not paying attention or that you were walking too close to the street border. However, you will likely still be able to combat such claims even if you lack witnesses.

You should also be aware that there might be a lengthy recovery period after an accident. Because you do not have the protection of a vehicle, it might take longer for you to heal from any damage sustained. Likewise, the damage you suffer from may be more catastrophic because you did not have the body of a car to take any of the impact away from you. You should therefore anticipate medical bills and potential time away from work.

Because of the high cost of recovery, you will want to get as much as you can out of your court case. For that reason, visiting our web page on pedestrian accidents may be of use to you by providing you with further information.
