Austin Pedestrian Accident Attorneys
With so many distractions on the road, a driver may not always pay sufficient attention to his or her surroundings. As a result, pedestrians may be unseen by passing motorists. Although these pedestrians have the right of way in most instances, drivers may fail to observe traffic signs and proper roadway etiquette, leading to dangerous collisions with unprotected individuals. In these accidents, pedestrians are likely to sustain severe injuries.
If you have been struck by a motor vehicle while you were traveling on foot, it may be in your best interest to consider seeking financial compensation through a civil lawsuit. Contact the Austin pedestrian accident attorneys at the Law Offices of Vic Feazell, P.C., by calling 877-948-4842 today.
Consequences of Pedestrian Accidents
A pedestrian who is involved in a collision with a motor vehicle may be unable to work while recovering from the associated injuries. Broken bones and severe lacerations may require close care and recuperation, but while they might strain one’s finances, it is improbable that they will permanently affect them. When a pedestrian develops a permanent disability, the consequences are even more severe. An injured pedestrian may face:
- Brain injury
- Paralysis
- Bone fractures
- Blood loss and lacerations
- Organ damage
As the victim of a pedestrian accident caused by a negligent or reckless motorist, you may be able to obtain financial compensation for medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other damages. These resources can be absolutely essential to helping you to cope with the aftereffects of your accident.
