In the unfortunate event of an automobile hitting a pedestrian or bystander the blame & liability often times falls on the driver. Common types of pedestrian accidents involve intersection accidents, crosswalk accidents and cyclists or joggers being struck on side of road while exercising. Sometimes, a pedestrian may step off of a curb and into oncoming traffic and is struck by a vehicle. Even in this instance the motorist may be held liable as they have a duty to drive attentively and watch the road.
If you are injured in a hit & run or pedestrian accident it may make sense to have a skilled accident lawyer on your side. A qualified Edmonton Pedestrian Accident Lawyer will know how to properly investigate the scene of the accident in an attempt to expose any drug or alcohol involvement and inattentive driving behaviors leading up to the accident. In researching the accident a good attorney will also recreate the scene, assessing skid marks to determine speed at time of accident, interview witnesses and comb through traffic camera video footage to determine how and why the accident happened. The Edmonton Car Accident and Injury Lawyers at James H. Brown & Associates do all of this and more for their clients. Mr. Brown & his staff have the skill and experience to get you the compensation you deserve. Please feel free to contact James H. Brown & Associates at 780 428 0088.
Due to the amount of force exerted on the human body during a pedestrian accident there is a higher capacity for serious, life threatening injuries than in other types of accidents at similar speeds. This is because the exposed body absorbs all of the force at impact compared to an accident involving two automobiles where there is a compartment to live in and safety features such as airbags and seat belts to protect you at impact. Common injuries suffered in a pedestrian accident are head, brain, neck & spinal cord injuries. Hip and leg fractures are also common in these accidents. Also, permanent disfigurement, paralysis and disability are frequently the end result of a hit and run accident.
Since pedestrian accidents can be so damaging to your body, mind and quality of life it is important to work with an attorney who knows how to judge the true monetary value of your claim. Financial issues such as medical expenses, pain & suffering compensation, lost wages, loss of quality of life and future medical expenses should all be factored into what your claim is worth.
