Our Pedestrian Accident Attorneys Help You Get Fair Compensation
We don’t expect to be hit by a car when crossing the street or walking through our neighborhood; in fact, pedestrians have the right-of-way in most situations. But, a driver who is too busy looking at their phone, who may be under the influence of drugs or alcohol, or who is speeding can easily hit a pedestrian. Between the impact of the vehicle and the impact of the hard pavement, there’s a very good chance that you’ll sustain a grievous injury. If you have been struck by a car, our Overland Park, KS pedestrian accident lawyer can help you get the compensation you deserve for your injuries.
The attorneys at the Law Office of Daniel E. Stuart, P.A. are experienced personal injury litigators dedicated to helping people who have been hurt because of the negligent actions of another party get the justice they deserve. We can file a civil claim on your behalf against the driver who hit you, and any other liable parties. It starts with a phone call to our firm for a free consultation.
How Our Attorneys Help Pedestrian Accident Victims
You may need weeks or even months of medical care, physical therapy, and rest to recover from your accident injuries. You may be out of work for some time and wonder how you’ll pay your bills. A personal injury settlement can cover all the medical and rehabilitative care you need, plus all the wages you missed earning while you were out of work.
However, getting the settlement you deserve isn’t guaranteed. The driver’s insurance company could deny your claim, saying you caused the accident through carelessness. You don’t have to fight the insurance company alone. Our Overland Park pedestrian accident lawyer handles all aspects of your claim, from filing the initial civil suit through collecting evidence and reviewing the other side’s discovery submissions, and representing you in court.
You can focus on rest and recovery, trusting our lawyers to handle the rest. We may negotiate with the other party, seeking a fair settlement and sparing you the stress of a trial. However, we always prepare for a trial and are very comfortable litigating in Johnson County courtrooms.
We Overcome Potential Complications In Pedestrian Accident Claims
We noted that the insurance company may try to blame you for the accident. This is common with high-value claims, as pedestrian accident cases typically are. Insurance companies don’t make money by handing over hundreds of thousands of dollars without a fight. But, our experienced Overland Park pedestrian accident lawyer knows the tricks that insurance companies like to pull and defenses against them.
There may be other defendants, too. We may hold the city liable if the driver hit you because a traffic signal malfunctioned. Regardless, drivers are expected to avoid hitting pedestrians, and they’ll likely still be liable for harming you. However, if the conditions for an accident were present in part because of negligence on the part of the city or county, then we can hold them liable, as well.
At the Law Office of Daniel E. Stuart, P.A., we’re passionate about representing the rights of injured people. We give you a voice and fight for the highest possible compensation in your case. Please contact us today for a free consultation.
