About 70,000 pedestrian accidents occur in the United
States each year. Roughly 4000 to 5000 of these result in the
pedestrian being killed. Most pedestrian accidents occur in
urban areas. Pedestrian accident lawsuit funding allows victims
or their families to receive an advance on the expected settlement of
the pedestrian accident case.
Pedestrian accident cases include (but are not limited to) the
following situations.
- pedestrian hit in an intersection with or without a
crosswalk
- pedestrian hit while crossing in the middle of a block
- pedestrian exiting from a vehicle
- pedestrian hit while walking along side of a roadway
- pedestrian hit in a parking lot
- pedestrians hit by vehicles exceeding the speed limit
- pedestrians hit by vehicles where the driver was under
the influence of drugs or alcohol
The injuries from pedestrian accidents are often more severe because
they have no protection from the impact with the vehicle and
surroundings. Some in these injuries include:
- broken bones
- spinal cord injuries leading to some form of paralysis
- severe head injuries
- knee, elbow, and shoulder injuries
The documents we need to see
for a pedestrian accident lawsuit include the following
- attorney/client
retainer agreement (optional)
- police report
- complaint document (if
a lawsuit has been filed-most cases settle before a lawsuit is filed
with the court)
- medical records (e.g.
emergency room reports, X-ray reports, MRI
reports, CAT scan reports, surgical reports, doctors narrative reports
describing status of injuries)
- proof of defendant's
insurance
