We Fight to Maximize Your Compensation
We have seen the devastation that personal injury accidents can cause. We know how high the stakes can be. This is why we work to maximize the financial compensation you recover right from the beginning.
Our attorneys prepare every case for trial from the start. If the insurance company refuses to offer a fair settlement, your lawyer will be ready to take your case to court and present a compelling case in court.
Here is how we work to maximize your compensation:
Our pedestrian accident lawyers in Columbia will thoroughly investigate your case to build the strongest possible claim. This includes:
- Obtaining all evidence, like police reports, witness statements, surveillance footage, etc., to prove liability
- Working with accident reconstruction experts to determine exactly how the accident occurred
- Consulting medical professionals to understand the full extent of your injuries and future care needs
- Carefully calculating the true costs of all your damages – medical bills, lost wages, future earnings, pain/suffering, etc.
With a comprehensive understanding of your case, your lawyer can then aggressively negotiate with the insurance companies.
Common Causes of Pedestrian Accidents
Pedestrian accidents can occur for a variety of reasons, but they are often the result of negligent or distracted driving behavior. Some of the most common causes we’ve encountered include:
- Drivers failing to yield to pedestrians at crosswalks or intersections
- Distracted drivers not paying attention to their surroundings
- Speeding or reckless driving
- Impaired driving (under the influence of drugs or alcohol)
- Lack of proper lighting or signage in pedestrian areas
No matter the cause, these accidents can have life-altering consequences for pedestrians, who have little protection from the force of a moving vehicle. Our firm investigates thoroughly to identify every liable party to ensure you recover every dime you are owed.
Injuries in Pedestrian Accidents
Pedestrians are particularly vulnerable in accidents involving motor vehicles, and the injuries they sustain can be severe and life-threatening. Some of the most common injuries our Columbia pedestrian accident lawyers have helped clients recover from include:
- Traumatic brain injuries
- Spinal cord injuries and paralysis
- Broken bones and fractures
- Internal injuries and organ damage
- Amputations
- Soft tissue injuries
These injuries often require extensive medical treatment, rehabilitation, and ongoing care, resulting in significant financial burdens for victims and their families. This is why our firm believes it is so necessary to ensure you collect full and fair compensation.
