Pursuing Compensation for Pedestrian Injuries

Pedestrian accidents often involve serious bodily harm, including broken bones, head and facial injuries, back and neck injuries, soft-tissue damage or catastrophic injuries. I handle all types of cases, including:

• People struck in crosswalks by inattentive or aggressive drivers
• Bicycle accidents (sideswiped, rear-ended, cut off or "doored")
• Children crossing the street
• Victims of hit-and-run accidents

I use police reports, witness accounts and driver depositions, working hard to make a case for liability, even when the case seems stacked against my client:

In one case a five-year-old on a bike made a right-hand turn the wrong way onto a one-way street striking a car. However, a child of five years could not have been negligent under the law that applied. Furthermore, my investigation revealed that the driver was talking to her mother at the time of impact. That hint that she was distracted created the wedge we needed, and the child received a six-figure settlement.

In another case, my client darted out into traffic and was clearly at fault. However, I still established liability by deposing the defendant in a non threatening way. I have been told I have a knack for getting people under deposition or on the witness stand to open up and perhaps say too much. I also work diligently to find the best way I know how to present your case and look for insurance — including uninsured motorist coverage, underinsured motorist coverage and homeowner policies — to get my clients full compensation for their injuries and personal losses.

If you have been hurt in a pedestrian accident, you can collect even for minor injuries. Contact my Philadelphia office at 215-574-1220 for a free initial consultation. There are no fees unless I recover compensation for you.
