When a vehicle hits a pedestrian, the outcome can be devastating and result in significant injuries and major legal consequences. Experiencing an accident of any kind is frightening and stressful, but pedestrian accidents are especially distressing.
Unfortunately, severe pedestrian accidents are more common in Nevada than in most states. Our experienced personal injury attorneys understand the nuisances of pedestrian cases and can provide comprehensive legal guidance on what to do next.
As a pedestrian, you are extremely susceptible to serious injury or loss of life in the event of an auto accident. Without the protection that a vehicle provides, pedestrians involved in car accidents often sustain injuries that require long-term medical care and rehabilitation.
Common injuries like head trauma and internal organ damage significantly impact your overall well-being and have permanent implications for your health. Head injuries are particularly common and can affect your ability to communicate, decrease your mobility, and impair total cognitive function.
Injuries such as these can lead to additional physical and psychological health decline,
considerable medical expenses, and lost wages. If you have sustained any injuries from a pedestrian incident, including the following, contact a reliable personal injury attorney to help understand your legal options.
Following a motor vehicle accident, legal assistance and guidance from a reliable personal injury lawyer can help simplify an otherwise complicated and tedious process.
Our accident attorneys can help navigate the claims process and gather evidence. Documents such as police reports and medical bills will demonstrate who caused the accident and the damages that occurred. After which, our lawyers can negotiate with insurance companies on your behalf.
