We expect that when we’re crossing the street, walking through a parking lot, or strolling through the streets of downtown Brock Township, we won’t be hit by a car. After all, pedestrians usually have the right-of-way, and even when they don’t, it’s expected that a driver won’t hit them! However, there are many distractions for drivers, from looking for a good parking space to fiddling with their playlists, texting a friend, or just daydreaming. Just a few brief seconds of inattention can result in a debilitating injury for the poor pedestrian. If you or someone you love was injured in a pedestrian accident, you could be eligible for a significant settlement, and our Brick Township pedestrian accident lawyer can help you get it.
The personal injury attorneys at Davis & Brusca, LLC, have extensive experience litigating pedestrian accident claims and a long track record of successfully settling claims in negotiations and achieving jury awards if the case goes to trial. Our team takes care of all the legal aspects necessary to advance your claim for compensation, guiding you through the civil torts process and protecting your rights. Call us today for a free consultation.
Pedestrian accident injuries can be serious, even if the car that struck you wasn’t moving very fast. The impact with the vehicle, then the hard pavement, can cause traumatic brain injury, broken bones, and internal organ damage. Some victims may not fully recover; almost all require tens of thousands of dollars worth of medical care. Your settlement should cover all the medical care you need for maximum medical recovery, as well as rehabilitative therapy and accommodations in a skilled nursing facility.
Many people miss work because of their injuries, and our lawyers can help you secure the full amount of lost wages for this time. If you’re injured too badly to continue in your current line of work and must take a lower-paying job that accommodates your changed abilities, we can demand the difference in earning potential, as well, plus any vocational re-training you require to sustain gainful employment.
In addition to replenishing all your material losses from the pedestrian accident, our attorney also seeks compensation for the pain and suffering you experienced, the emotional trauma of the incident and aftermath, and your diminished quality of life.
The skilled attorneys at Davis & Brusca, LLC, use our extensive knowledge of New Jersey personal injury laws and our own insight to build a strong case of negligence in your pedestrian injury claim. We gather evidence proving that the driver who hit you was negligent, like subpoenaing their phone records or information from their vehicle’s Event Data Recorder, and negotiate with their insurance company for a fair settlement. We prepare each case anticipating that we will go to trial, so if the insurance company refuses to give you a fair settlement, we’re ready to take them to court to get you your fair due.
