Pedestrian Accidents Can Cause Severe Injuries

Driving today requires your full attention and total awareness of your surroundings. Unfortunately, pedestrian accidents still occur on a regular basis, whether due to driver or pedestrian error. If you or a loved one have been struck by a vehicle and injured as a pedestrian, we advise you to contact a Charlotte Personal Injury Attorney without delay to assist you in recovering damages to compensate for your losses. Even with a vehicle's speeds being relatively slow, being struck will often result in serious injuries. Ironically, a number of pedestrian accidents are now happening on crosswalks, which were created for the sole purpose of protecting pedestrians and are generally places where pedestrians have an obvious right of way. Injuries related to pedestrian accidents can range from:

• Broken bones
• Internal bleeding
• Neck & back injuries
• Concussions
• Lacerations
• Amputation
• Death

At Lanier Law Group, we know that the insurance company of the driver may attempt to place the responsibility for the accident on your shoulders in order to reduce the claim they may owe you. They may accuse you of inattention, not looking out for your own safety, or wearing dark clothing in an area with inadequate lighting or when the weather conditions make visibility difficult. Come in and see us for a personal and private consultation to find out what your rights may be.

The Firm You Choose Makes a Difference

As injury attorneys who dedicate themselves to advocating for victims of negligence, we rapidly became sensitive to the emotional toll and stress that affects an individual after an accident. Medical care could mean surgery, hospitalizations, and long term treatment. Loss of employment is a possible threat hanging over your head if the victim is forced to be away from his or her job too long. These consequences have a very real possibility of creating an insurmountable financial burden. Be aware that the negligent party's insurance company may contact you to settle, however it likely will be to your financial detriment.

Our lawyers will investigate and pursue all circumstances relating to your pedestrian accident claim and will aggressively negotiate with insurance in order to provide for your future.
