Pedestrian Accidents

Pedestrian accidents due to negligence on the part of another driver are a severe risk to the public, and have caused millions in medical damages. Lorraine Gingery can help you with your claim settlement - be it caused by drunk driver, product liability, or other accident. She understand bike, and pedestrian accidents. Be sure that the negligent parties are held responsible for medical and other financial damages related to your accident.
Be aware that the driver's insurance company lawyers will try to blame YOU for the accident by claiming that your negligence caused the accident. If you have involved in a pedestrian accident, DO NOT give a statement to the insurance company until you have spoken with an attorney.

Confusion and inattention are the two main reasons that accidents take place. Statistics show that males have a higher occurrence of pedestrian accidents, along with young people, possibly due to risk-taking behaviors. Statistics also show us that many of these accident victims are smaller children and the elderly.

This year, if the statistics are any indication at all, another 70,000 pedestrians will be injured in traffic related accidents, and 5,000 more will die. We also know from statistics that nearly half of those deaths will occur between 3:00 and 4:00 p.m., when our children are on their way home from school. Teaching children to stay in the crosswalks is no guarantee of their safety, either. Negligent drivers are on the roads all throughout the day, every day.

When a pedestrian is involved in an accident, there are so many variable to consider. The hospital bills can be enormous, simply because of the types of injuries one sustains when struck by an oncoming vehicle. Catastrophic type injuries are not uncommon in such cases.
