Recovering Compensation - Who is to Blame for Pedestrian Injuries and Fatalities?
Drivers have a duty to be attentive and yield to pedestrians. Therefore, when a pedestrian is hit by a car, the driver is almost always responsible for the injuries or death which may result. Robert L. Hersh pursues full compensation from the driver's insurance policy. In addition, if the injuries exceed the at-fault driver's policy limits, we review your own insurance policy for underinsured motorist coverage. As a result, we are capable of maximizing the compensation for our client.
When our client is involved in a hit and run accident, we seek compensation from the only source of coverage available - the pedestrian's own uninsured motorist policy. This coverage can make a significant difference when the at-fault driver is no where to be found.
Coping with the Physical and Emotional Trauma of a Pedestrian Accident
In addition to dealing with the medical bills associated with a catastrophic injury and the significant time away from work, victims often face severe emotional trauma after a pedestrian accident. Therapy may be necessary to cope with the loss of a loved one, the fear of passing vehicles or the devastation of living with severe disfigurement. In addition to pursuing full compensation, we help clients get the support and advocacy they need following such a traumatic accident.
