PROVIDING AGGRESSIVE LEGAL REPRESENTATION FOR PEDESTRIAN ACCIDENT VICTIMS

If you or a family member have been injured in a pedestrian accident, you may be trying to determine your next steps to try and recover damages for your injuries and lost time at work. If your child was injured, you most likely are feeling frightened about their health and well-being.

Pedestrian accidents can be life-changing for the victim as they lack the same protections that individuals riding in motor vehicles enjoy. In most instances, it may take weeks, months, or even years for individuals to fully recover after being involved in a pedestrian accident.

If you need legal assistance with a pedestrian accident case, contact the Labovitz Law Firm of St. Louis, MO, and ask to schedule a free initial consultation to discuss your legal options.

WHAT ARE THE MAIN CAUSES OF PEDESTRIAN ACCIDENTS IN ST. LOUIS?

However, the number one cause of pedestrian accidents is distracted driving. In our modern world, many drivers are distracted by their cell phones or GPS and fail to see a pedestrian before it is too late and end up striking them.

WHY SHOULD I HIRE A PEDESTRIAN ACCIDENT LAWYER BEFORE SPEAKING WITH THE DRIVER’S INSURANCE COMPANY?

Often, when pedestrians file an insurance claim, the insurer may try to blame the victim for the accident. Sadly, a pedestrian can contribute to the accident by failing to use the sidewalk or a pedestrian crossing, jaywalking, or walking at night wearing dark clothing.

Nevertheless, regardless of why the accident occurred, injury victims should never speak to the other party’s insurance provider without consulting a knowledgeable lawyer. The Labovitz Law Firm has extensive experience dealing with insurance companies and is familiar with the strategies they often use to minimize their financial responsibility.

Our personal injury attorney will review your case and, if necessary, work to prove liability so that your claim may move forward. Suppose the insurance company is unwilling to negotiate a fair settlement for your claim. In that case, our attorney is prepared to file a pedestrian accident lawsuit to try and help you recover the compensation you deserve.

Additionally, suppose you are a pedestrian injured by a hit-and-run driver who has never been identified. In that case, we can help you file a claim with your insurance provider to help you recover damages.
