Pedestrian Accident Attorney
Phoenix, Glendale and Mesa, Arizona
Arizona provides citizens with many State and National Parks to better their mental and physical health in by engaging in activities such as mountain biking and walking. Unfortunately, work and family commitments limit the amount of time spent recreating in these parks, forcing individuals to seek pleasure by walking in city environments. However, while it rarely crosses our minds, city streets drastically increase the danger and potential of pedestrian accidents occurring.
Automobile and truck operators frequently skirt roadway regulations, such as stoplights, stop signs, crosswalk signals, and speed limitations. When a negligent driver hits innocent pedestrians, injuries sustained can be devastating and responsible parties may be responsible to pay for damages inflicted, which can include:
- Personal injuries
- Loss of wages
- Medical bills
- Diminished quality of life
- Loss of companionship, in the event of wrongful death or serious injury occurring
- Pain and suffering
- Mental anguish
Children and Pedestrian Accidents
Due to the size of children and the possibility of behaving in unexpected ways, children are at an increased risk of being pedestrian auto accident victims.
A driver observing small children playing near a street where a reasonable person should expect the possibility of thoughtless, erratic movements which would endanger the children's safety must anticipate that movement and must take precautions.
Elderly and Pedestrian Accidents
Sadly, many drivers fail to exercise additional caution around elderly pedestrians. Due to diminished senses, the elderly may not always hear or see an oncoming vehicle, or be able to recognize traffic signals.
Why You Need a Pedestrian Accident Attorney
The laws governing the safety of pedestrians while on public roadways are complicated. If it was a truck or train accident, representatives of these companies may attempt pressuring you into a statement, or coercing you to settle for less than what you deserve for your damages.
If you have been injured in a pedestrian accident, it is important that you contact an experienced pedestrian attorney upon being asked to provide a signed or vocal statement. Without proper knowledge of your rights, you may be compromising your future, financial compensation.
