Virginia Pedestrian Accident Attorneys
According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), 61,000 pedestrians were injured in accidents with motor vehicles and another 4,784 were killed as a result of such accidents. With their propensity to dart into streets to chase balls and other toys, children between the ages of 5-9 years old are at most risk of being injured or killed in a pedestrian accident.
Common causes of pedestrian accidents include intoxication, inattention and jay-walking. While drivers have a duty to watch out for pedestrians (especially in urban areas), they are not always at fault for an accident with a pedestrian. For this reason, it is important to speak with an attorney as soon as possible after an accident. A qualified attorney should be able to help you gather and preserve essential evidence, locate witnesses and determine if the driver is legally responsible for your injuries.
If you or a loved one has been injured in a pedestrian accident, it is important to seek legal advice as soon as possible. At Lenhart Obenshain, our experienced Virginia pedestrian accident lawyers can help you recover the money you need to cover medical bills, time missed from work, earnings (past and future), prescription drug costs, and rehabilitation expenses. Depending on the unique nature of your claim, you may be entitled to recover other money damages as well.
With experience defending insurance companies in the past, our attorneys understand how insurance companies work and are well prepared to help injury victims fight for the money to which they are legally entitled. While we try to settle cases to avoid the time and cost of a trial, we are prepared to go to trial if a fair settlement cannot be reached otherwise. Helping you receive justice in your personal injury claim so that you can recover and move on with life is our top priority.
