If you are seriously injured or lost a loved one in an accident, significant financial challenges lie ahead. Not only are there extensive medical bills or funeral expenses, income that would have provided support to the family is now limited or completely gone. A personal injury or wrongful death claim can cover medical expenses, lost wages, funeral expenses and even pain and suffering or loss of consortium. Additionally, if the pedestrian accident resulted in a catastrophic injury, such as a head injury or a spinal cord injury, an injury claim can also provide for future needs or accommodations.
At Craig Small, our founding attorney Craig Z. Small has been practicing in personal injury since 1994 and prepares strong claims on behalf of clients injured in pedestrian accidents. He personally handles each case, providing clients with the personalized attention of a small firm and the experience and resources of a large law office.
Our firm diligently handles all types of pedestrian accidents, including:
- Joggers or walkers hit by cars
- Children hit by cars or trucks
- Bicyclists injured in accidents
- Hit and run pedestrian accidents
- Crosswalk or jaywalking accidents
- Fatal accidents
- Other pedestrian accidents
Hit and Run Pedestrian Accidents
One common problem with pedestrian accidents is that the at-fault driver is nowhere to be found. Even if the accident victim is capable of providing a description of the vehicle, it can still be difficult to track down a hit and run driver. However, victims are not completely at a loss for pursuing compensation. If you have purchased Supplemental Uninsured Motorist (SUM) coverage under your own insurance policy, you can pursue compensation from your own insurance company after a hit and run accident.
