Each year in America an average, 70,000 pedestrians are injured and 5,000 pedestrians are killed in accidents involving an automobile. Pedestrian accidents regularly occur because automobile drivers are not vigilant in maintaining a lookout for walkers and runners. These accidents take place despite the caution generally exercised by pedestrians.

The severe, debilitating and permanent injuries that arise from pedestrian accidents with an automobile, motorcycle or truck, resulting in significant financial losses to the individuals involved and their families. However, the law provides an injured person with the right to recover his or her damages from the responsible party. Such damages include, but may not be limited to, medical expenses, lost wages, funeral expenses and other economic losses. Individuals may also be entitled to recover for the pain and suffering caused by their injuries and treatment.

Insurance companies have established very specific and elaborate procedures on handling pedestrian accident claims, especially in the early stages of the claim. The most common tactic is to settle with the injured party, before the full extent of the pedestrians injuries and long term health problems may be identified and documented.

For this reason alone, it is important to contact an experienced pedestrian accident attorney - lawyer so you may be made fully aware of your legal rights and options.
