Pedestrian accidents are known for being some of the most life-altering accidents on our roads. Because pedestrians have virtually no protection from harm, they are likely to sustain catastrophic injuries in the event of a collision. A pedestrian may wonder how they can move forward when they are left with a wide array of bills. They may be able to move forward with the help of an attorney. Through a personal injury claim, a pedestrian may be able to receive compensation for some of the following aspects:

  • Medical bills you have incurred
  • Medical bills you may incur in the future related to your injuries
  • Loss of income due to missed time at work
  • Pain and suffering
  • Punitive damages
