Pedestrian Accident Claims
FAQs
I was crossing against the light (jaywalking) and was hit by a car. Since the driver could see me and should have avoided, can I still sue?
My 3-year old darted out in front of two illegally parked vehicles and was hit by a delivery truck that was driving a bit over the posted speed. My son remains in a coma. Who is liable?
My nephew suffered from cerebral palsy and had difficulty walking. He was hit by a car and killed when he tried to cross the street but was unable to make it before the light changed. Is the driver liable even though my nephew was in the intersection against the light? Is the city liable for not providing a walk signal that was long enough?
I was walking back to my car in the parking ramp at the local mall when I was hit by a car. Is the mall liable for my injuries as well as the driver of the car?
Pedestrian Accidents And Fault
FAQs
My mother was run down in a marked crosswalk in broad daylight. Is the driver liable even if there wasn’t a signal?
I was hit by a car while out walking, but the driver stated that he couldn’t see me because the brush in the ditch had grown up so high. Is the owner of the land or the county liable for my injuries?
I was roller-blading with my dog, which pulled me out into traffic. Is the car that hit me liable for my damages?
My son was killed when he was hit by a drunk driver on his way home from school. Is anyone besides the driver liable for my son’s death?
A traffic light in our town does not give a long enough “walk” signal to get across the street; there are also no pedestrian islands. Is the city liable for any accidents that occur as a result?
The concrete on the sidewalk was broken up and while trying to cross it, I fell and broke my arm. Is the city liable for not repairing it fast enough? Shouldn’t the city have had a warning sign?
The morning after a snowstorm, I was crossing the street and slipped on some ice. Is the city liable for not making sure the crossway wasn’t slippery?
My husband was killed while out walking in our residential neighborhood when a vehicle involved in a high speed police chase hit him. Is the police department or the police officer liable?
My son’s friend pushed him off the sidewalk into the path of an oncoming vehicle. Who is liable?
My 76-year old aunt was hit by a skateboarder going across a pedestrian bridge. The skateboarder claims he yelled out a warning, but my aunt is hard of hearing and sight. Can the skateboarder be held liable?
Damages For Pedestrian Accidents
FAQs
My spouse was hit by a car and needs complete, round-the-clock care. Can I receive damages for providing this care or for the fact that we no longer have the marriage we once enjoyed? What is my claim worth?
My husband and 10-year old daughter were out walking when he was hit and killed by a car. She has been in depression ever since, missing school. Can my daughter receive damages for her mental distress? What factors are taken into account in the calculation?
Pedestrian Accident Attorneys
FAQs
Why should I hire an attorney to handle my case? Can’t I just settle it myself with the insurance company?
