“On average, a pedestrian was killed every two hours and injured every eight minutes in traffic crashes.”
Illinois accident attorneys take pedestrian rights seriously—and so does the law. If you or a loved one were injured due to a vehicle who was driving recklessly, aggressively, distracted, or who failed to obey your pedestrian rights, you may be entitled to legal compensation. If your loved one was killed as a pedestrian in a serious traffic crash, you may also be eligible to file a wrongful death claim. To properly submit a claim to compensate for damages done, call an Illinois vehicle accident attorney as soon as possible.
After being a victim of an accident as a pedestrian, you can suffer serious and painful injuries due to the severity of the impact or speed that you were hit at. The human body is fragile and extremely vulnerable to such accidents, especially the body of a small child. After being hit as a pedestrian, medical expenses from x-rays, tests, surgeries, checkups, physical therapy, lost wages and other ongoing care can become a heavy weight on a family’s overall well-being, including their financial being. A victim hit by a vehicle may also feel lost when filing a claim for recovery. Fortunately, insurance companies have a responsibility to treat pedestrians fairly. There may also be other parties responsible that you may not be aware of. A vehicle accident attorney is able to investigate and determine these additional parties so that you and your family can receive the medical treatment and care that you deserve to return to the things that matter most to you.
