Pedestrian Accidents
There is not much more frightening than being struck by a car. At Crocker Law Firm we have represented many people who were hit while walking, riding a bicycle, or standing in a parking lot, parking garage, or driveway. If you or someone in your family was struck by a vehicle, call Crocker Law Firm right away.
In a two car collision the damage to the vehicles often tells the story of how the accident occurred. When a car hits a person, there is often more confusion. If you have been injured in a pedestrian accident, act quickly and contact a skilled pedestrian accident attorney.
We want to conduct an investigation right away, while the skid marks and debris are still there. We want to talk to witnesses while memories are fresh. We want to examine the car that hit you before it is repaired or destroyed.
What can you recover money for?
If you are hit by a car you have a claim against the at-fault driver for the losses you have suffered, including:
- Medical bills
- Pain and suffering
- Wage loss
- Future pain and suffering
- Future wage loss
- Future medical bills
Being hit by a car is terrifying and can cause psychological trauma as well as physical harm. We will help you find treatment for the emotional anguish and will present this suffering as part of your claim.
Pedestrians and no-fault insurance
In Kentucky, the first $10,000 of certain losses, including medical bills, are paid by no-fault insurance. In a typical accident no-fault coverage comes from the insurance on the car you are in when the accident occurs. If you are struck as a pedestrian, the car that strikes you provides the no-fault insurance. This is true even if the striking car did not cause the accident.
For example, if a car is struck from behind and thrown into you, the car that makes contact with you provides the no-fault insurance. In fact, even if you are at fault, the insurance on the car that hit you provides no-fault insurance. When the car that should provide no-fault coverage is uninsured there are other places we can look for this coverage. Don’t assume it does not exist.
