Liability for Pedestrian Accidents
We can investigate your case at Isaacs & Isaacs Personal Injury Lawyers to prove who’s liable. Depending on the accident’s cause, liability could fall on one or more of the following:
Intoxicated Drivers
Drivers who’re intoxicated are less likely to obey traffic rules, like stopping at red lights. Swerving onto the sidewalk is also common in driving under the influence (DUI) cases.
Hit-and-run Drivers
These usually occur when a driver is intoxicated or distracted when they strike down a pedestrian. They may flee the scene, leaving the victim. If this happened to you or a loved one, we can work with the police to help you get justice.
Speeding Drivers
Driving at high speeds, which in most cases is faster than the stipulated limits, increases the chances of hitting a pedestrian. There’s not enough reaction time for drivers to slow down.
Government Entity
Intersections are primarily found in urban areas. They make motorists interact, even when there are designated pedestrian and cyclist lanes, and design flaws expose pedestrians to danger. If you were involved in an accident this way, the government entity responsible for road maintenance could be liable.
Types of Burlington Pedestrian Accident Cases
Being struck by a vehicle, especially at high speeds, is bound to cause significant injuries. Our law firm represents clients who’ve suffered the following injuries:
Brain Injuries
A victim can get a concussion or go into a coma when there’s a forceful blow to the head. Brain injuries can be mild or severe, depending on the impact. We can help you recover compensation for the symptoms of brain injury, such as fatigue, dizziness, headaches, sensory issues, mental disorders, and loss of motor skills.
Broken Bones
It’s common for pedestrians to fracture their hands, wrists, legs, and shoulders upon impact with a vehicle. The victim can require a cast to reset the bone, which could mean hopping around on crutches for several weeks.
Some bone fractures are so severe that amputation becomes a life-saving measure. In such a case, we could pursue a disability case.
Soft Tissue Injury
The victim may sustain sprains, dislocations, contusions, and lacerations. These injuries are mostly superficial and take a short time to heal, sometimes without serious medical intervention. However, soft tissue injuries, like scarring, can also have an enduring impact.
Spinal Cord Injury (SCI)
SCIs are common in car accidents. This damage is incurable and can trigger other dysfunctions in critical organs like the gastrointestinal and autonomic nervous systems.
In extreme cases, patients with spinal cord damage succumb to their injuries. If a loved one died in such a manner, you could file a wrongful death case for compensation.
