7 Ways APLC Moore-Faust Law Group, A Pedestrian Accident Personal Injury Attorney / Lawyer, Can Help You With Your Injury Claim

When you have been injured in a pedestrian accident, your first priority is receiving the medical care you need to recover from your injuries. At the same time, you need to consider how to protect your legal rights if someone else caused the accident. A pedestrian accident personal injury attorney’s / lawyer’s number one goal is to help you build a solid legal case, establish evidence of your damages, and recoup the financial compensation you deserve to help pay your accident-related losses. Those losses may include medical bills, property damage, past and future pain and suffering, lost income, future lost earning capacity, and the loss of enjoyment of life among other damages.

  1. An experienced pedestrian accident personal injury attorney / lawyer can help you throughout your claim, including by:

    • Offering a free consultation and claim review to explain:
    • Your legal rights.
    • The law that applies to your situation.
    • Damages in a claim such as yours.
    • What you can expect.
  1. Providing legal advice for your specific injury claim such as: what damages you should include in your claim, evidence needed to prove and establish your damages suffered, and the probability of success. 

  2. Finding all available insurance coverage – determining who is liable. If the other driver was underinsured (your claim exceeds the amount of their insurance coverage), we can determine if you have applicable underinsured coverage on your policy to further pursue. If the other driver was not insured, we can determine if you have uninsured coverage to pursue.

  3. Preparing an insurance demand letter – requiring several steps, including:

    • Investigating and gathering evidence such as photos, police reports, medical records, employment details, witness statements, proof of the other driver’s negligence, and a summary of your financial losses. Many times, lawyers have access to evidence the average person does not know how to obtain.
    • Engaging experts, for example, medical specialists or accident reconstructionists.
    • Calculating all possible damages, including both current and future costs and damages so they are properly included in your claim. 
    • Creating a persuasive argument for the settlement amount requested.
  1. Your lawyer will negotiate with the insurance company and defense legal counsel, argue on your behalf for your damages, and defend against the insurance’s efforts to devalue your claim and damages.

  2. Your lawyer must be prepared to file a civil lawsuit in the appropriate court system before the applicable statute of limitations runs out. 

  3. Finally, your pedestrian accident attorney will handle your settlement or court outcome and all related documentation to disburse the funds and resolve your case.

With a contingency fee, you won’t pay for these services until you receive compensation at the end of your case. Studies have shown that injured people who work with a pedestrian accident personal injury attorney / lawyer receive more compensation than those who try to resolve their cases on their own, even after paying attorney fees.

Types Of Damages That Can Be Pursued In A Pedestrian Accident By A Accident Injury Attorney / Lawyer

When you are injured in a pedestrian accident, various types of damages can be pursued to compensate the injured party for their losses. These damages can be broadly categorized into economic and non-economic damages. Here are the main types:

  1. Economic Damages:

    • Medical Expenses: This includes all costs related to medical treatment for injuries sustained in the accident, such as hospital bills, surgeries, medication, rehabilitation, and future medical care.
    • Lost Earnings: Compensation for any wages or income lost due to the inability to work as a result of the accident. This may include past and future lost wages, as well as diminished earning capacity if the injuries lead to long-term disability.
    • Property Damage: Reimbursement for the repair or replacement of the damaged vehicle and any other property damaged in the accident, such as personal belongings inside the vehicle.
    • Other Financial Losses: This can encompass various out-of-pocket expenses directly resulting from the accident, such as transportation costs to medical appointments, home modifications for disabilities, or the cost of hiring help for household chores if the injured person is unable to perform them.

2. Non-Economic Damages:

    • Pain and Suffering: Compensation for physical pain, discomfort, and emotional distress experienced as a result of the accident and injuries. This includes both present and future suffering.
    • Emotional Distress: Damages for psychological trauma, anxiety, depression, or post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) resulting from the accident.
    • Loss of Enjoyment of Life: Compensation for the diminished quality of life or inability to participate in activities or hobbies enjoyed before the accident due to injuries sustained.
    • Loss of Consortium: This refers to damages awarded to compensate for the loss of companionship, affection, or intimacy suffered by the injured party’s spouse due to the injuries sustained in the accident.
    • Other Potential Damages:
    • Wrongful Death: In cases where the accident results in the death of the victim, surviving family members may pursue damages for loss of financial support, companionship, and funeral expenses through a wrongful death claim.

It’s essential to consult with a qualified pedestrian accident personal injury attorney / lawyer to assess the specific circumstances of your case and determine the types of damages that may be applicable and appropriate to pursue.

How Much Can I Get for Pain and Suffering and Other Damages?

Pain and suffering compensation (and all other types of non-economic compensation) varies greatly depending on the details of your case.

To determine the value of your pain and suffering and other damages, your pedestrian accident personal injury attorney / lawyer will consider the specifics of how your life has been impacted and the evidence of the losses. The greater the change, the greater compensation you can receive.

Pain and suffering is often a main focus of negotiations and can be worth significant compensation, depending on the severity of your injuries.

WHAT TO DO IF YOU ARE IN AN AUTO ACCIDENT

Auto accidents are a distressing experience, often leaving individuals confused and unsure of what steps to take next. However, knowing what to do immediately following an accident can significantly impact your safety, well-being, and ability to seek compensation for damages. Here’s a comprehensive guide on what to do after you’ve been in an auto accident.

1. Ensure Safety First:

    • Move to a safe location: If possible, move your vehicle to the side of the road to prevent further accidents.
    • Check for injuries: Assess yourself and others involved in the accident for any injuries. Call emergency services if medical attention is needed.

2. Contact Authorities:

    • Call the police: Regardless of the accident’s severity, it’s crucial to report the incident to the police. They will document the scene and create an official report, which can be essential for insurance claims.
    • Exchange information: Collect contact and insurance details from all parties involved in the accident, including witnesses.

3. Document the Scene:

    • Take photos: Use your phone or camera to capture images of the accident scene, vehicle damage, license plates, and any relevant road conditions.
    • Note details: Write down the time, date, location, weather conditions, and any other relevant information about the accident.

4. Seek Medical Attention:

    • Even if you don’t feel injured immediately after the accident, it’s essential to seek medical evaluation. Some injuries may manifest later, and a medical report can be crucial for insurance claims.

5. Notify Your Insurance Company:

    • Contact your insurance provider as soon as possible to report the accident. Provide them with all the necessary details and documentation.
    • Follow their instructions regarding filing a claim and providing additional information.

6. Consult with a Accident Injury Attorney / Lawyer:

    • Consider seeking advice from a qualified attorney specializing in personal injury cases. They can help protect your rights and ensure you receive fair compensation for damages.
    • Your attorney can guide you through the claims process, negotiate with insurance companies, and represent you in legal proceedings if necessary.

7. Keep Records:

    • Organize all documents related to the accident, including police reports, medical bills, repair estimates, and correspondence with insurance companies.
    • These records will be essential for proving liability and calculating damages during the claims process.

8. Follow Through:

    • Attend all medical appointments and follow your healthcare provider’s recommendations for treatment and rehabilitation.
    • Stay in communication with your insurance company and legal representation, providing any requested information promptly.

Conclusion: Being involved in an auto accident can be a traumatic experience, but knowing what steps to take afterward can make a significant difference in the outcome. By prioritizing safety, documentation, and seeking appropriate assistance, you can protect your rights and work towards recovering physically, emotionally, and financially from the incident. If you’ve been in an accident, remember to stay calm, stay safe, and seek the necessary support to navigate the aftermath effectively.
