Pedestrians are exceptionally vulnerable when crossing the street or parking lot. When you’re walking, you lack the protections of a vehicle, like a metal shell with crumple zones to absorb impact and airbags to cushion the blow from a crash. It’s just you, the car, and the hard pavement. Pedestrian accidents are serious, leaving the victim forever changed. Our Holly Springs, NC pedestrian accident lawyer can help you get fair compensation to cover your medical care and other losses. We believe in holding distracted and negligent drivers accountable for the harm they cause, and we are ready to fight for your rights. Please contact Burton Law Firm today for a consultation.
Pedestrian Accident Lawyer Holly Springs, NC
Pedestrian accidents, even when the driver who hit you isn’t traveling very fast, usually produce devastating injuries for the poor person afoot. There’s a good chance that you’ll be temporarily or permanently paralyzed, suffer spinal cord damage, receive an injury blow to the head, break several bones, or suffer dangerous internal organ damage. Even with quality medical care, there’s a good chance that you’ll never make a full recovery. Your injuries may make it difficult to work or go to school, and if you’re now disabled, you could have difficulty living independently. The at-fault party in your pedestrian accident should be held accountable for the harm they caused you. Our Holly Springs pedestrian accident lawyer is here to help you assert your rights.
If you weren’t responsible for the pedestrian accident, then you have the right to compensatory damages from the driver who struck you. Even if you were jaywalking, you are likely still eligible for a settlement; drivers are expected to avoid hitting pedestrians in the road, even if they’re illegally crossing it. Your settlement can cover all necessary medical care, so you have the best chance for a full recovery, replenish your lost wages, and provide fair compensation for your considerable pain and suffering.
Our legal team handles all aspects of your case, from collecting evidence and building the lawsuit to filing all required papers and responding to motions filed by the other side. As trained negotiators, we strive to settle your claim fairly out of court, avoiding a trial; however, we prepare each case to present to the jury, just in case. You’re in good hands.
