Hurt in a Pedestrian Accident?

             Our car accident injury attorneys fight for the compensation you deserve
       Walking is an everyday activity of life, Detroit and throughout Michigan, but it only takes one negligent driver to cause a car accident that leaves pedestrians hurt. We believe Injured pedestrians deserve financial compensation, but it can be a complicated process to take on by yourself. The Joseph Dedvukaj Firm fights for their rights.
       Pedestrians struck by cars or trucks face a high risk for serious injury or even death. In Michigan pedestrians have the right of way under most circumstances. It is important to remember that both the driver and the pedestrian should be cautious around each other.
Pedestrian responsibilities include:
• Walk in crosswalks
• Cross the street only when the walk signal illuminates
• Avoid darting out into traffic
       Driver responsibilities include:
• Avoid being distracted
• Obey speed limits
• Use turn signals
• Reduce speed for road conditions
• Always yielding to pedestrians in crosswalks
       Around children who are pedestrians, the motorist carries a greater responsibility to use due care and caution. Children’s behavior is usually less predictable than an adult's, making it more important for drivers to be more cautious when children are in the area.
I was hit by a car. How much money will I get?
       Each injury case is unique and depends on the specific facts and circumstances of your pedestrian injury accident. Under most circumstances, pedestrians have the right of way. However, both the pedestrian and driver need to be alert and cautious of each other.
       Because pedestrians have no protection in a crash, their injuries can be very serious or deadly. Pedestrians may suffer broken bones and injuries to the spine, legs, arms, head, neck or back. They may need surgery, hospitalization, physical therapy, and medication to manage their injuries. Recovery may take months or even years. In some case they me be left with a permanent disability.
       If a driver negligently hit you while you were walking, you deserve maximum financial compensation. This includes compensation for all current and future medical bills related to your injuries. It includes compensation for loss of income or wage loss if you missed time from work. We may also seek other compensation for other damages you suffered, such as past, present, and future pain and suffering. Our injury lawyers will help you determine the compensation value of your claim.
