Pedestrian Accidents Can Happen In Unexpected Places

You may think of pedestrian accidents as something that happens when you cross the street or try to get to your car in a busy parking lot, but they can happen in unexpected places and under unanticipated circumstances. You or your kids can be hit by a drunk driver in your own front yard. Your car can break down, forcing you to walk down the side of a busy road. No matter where your accident occurred, if you were hurt as a result of someone else’s negligence or wrongdoing, or a defective vehicle, you can recover compensation for your injuries.

Pedestrian accident injuries are serious. Your life can be changed forever. Please do not pass up the compensation you need and deserve.
