This is especially true if a vehicle knocks the pedestrian to the ground. Unlike the drivers and occupants of motor vehicles, pedestrians do not have an outer covering or shell that surrounds them at the time of their accident. They are directly exposed to their surrounding environments, not to mention the ground, if and when a motor vehicle knocks them over.<\/span><\/p>\n If you or a person you love has suffered an injury in a pedestrian accident that a negligent driver caused, you have legal options open to you.\u00a0Hartford pedestrian accident lawyer<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0Michael L.

Specifically, they have to be able to demonstrate that a driver or other individual violated the duty of care, resulting in a pedestrian accident. The\u00a0<\/span>accident victim<\/a>\u00a0<\/span>must also be able to demonstrate that as a direct and proximate result of the accident, he or she suffered one or more injuries and damages.<\/p>\n In some pedestrian accident cases, especially where a police officer issued the at-fault driver a citation, the insurance company might admit fault. In that instance, the accident victim only needs to prove that he or she suffered injuries and damages as a result of the collision.<\/p>\n Pedestrian accident victims are often eligible to recover various types of monetary compensation, which come in the form of damages. The law intends for those damages to compensate the pedestrian accident victim for everything that he or she went through following the accident. For starters, victims of pedestrian accidents could recover monetary compensation for all of their medical treatment bills and expenses.<\/p>\n This compensation should be available even if the accident victim had health insurance at the time of the collision. If the accident victim had to lose time from work, then he or she could recover lost wage compensation as part of a personal injury claim.<\/p>\n In addition, victims of pedestrian accidents might be eligible to receive compensation for mental distress, emotional anguish, loss of earning capacity, loss of life enjoyment, and loss of the ability to use a particular body part.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.27.0″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”||1rem||false|false” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.27.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.0″ _module_preset=”default” header_2_font_size=”36px” header_2_line_height=”1.2em” header_3_font_size=”28px” header_3_line_height=”1.3em” header_2_font_size_tablet=”36px” header_2_font_size_phone=”27px” header_2_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” header_3_font_size_tablet=”23px” header_3_font_size_phone=”21px” header_3_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Pedestrian accidents can have devastating results. Serious injuries, having to miss work in order to recover, and stacking medical bills are added stressors that victims of pedestrian accidents don\u2019t deserve to face on their own. As with victims of any type of motor vehicle accident, individuals who are injured in a pedestrian accident have the right to demand compensation for their injuries and losses.

The party you\u2019re suing will be listed as the defendant on the complaint and you will be listed as the plaintiff. After the defendant responds to our complaint, we\u2019ll enter the discovery process which is a formal evidence-exchanging process. We\u2019ll send a list of questions to the defendant and potentially request documentation from them as well.<\/p>\n Both parties may also take depositions or sworn statements and in some cases, we\u2019ll consult with accident reconstruction or medical experts.

In a settlement, the defendant agrees to pay compensation and we would agree to release the defendant from liability.<\/p>\n The negotiation process starts with us making a demand for compensation.

The offer may be further negotiated until an agreement is settled upon.[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.27.0″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”||1rem||false|false” border_color_all=”#cccccc” border_width_bottom=”1px” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.27.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.0″ header_2_font_size=”36px” header_2_line_height=”1.2em” header_3_font_size=”23px” header_3_line_height=”1.3em” header_2_font_size_tablet=”36px” header_2_font_size_phone=”31px” header_2_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” header_3_font_size_tablet=”23px” header_3_font_size_phone=”21px” header_3_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n If we cannot come to an agreement, the case will go to trial.
