AGIMaster • Sep 28, 2018

Hitting A Pedestrian — El Paso, TX — The Enriquez Law FirmAll too often people think that pedestrian accidents involving a vehicle are open and shut cases. They decide not to hire a pedestrian accident attorney when they assume that the driver will accept all the fault. It is only obvious, right? Unfortunately, this isn’t always the case. Different states have different laws when it comes to accidents involving pedestrians. Not only can a lawyer help determine fault but they can provide strong counsel and representation throughout the process. Not only that, pedestrian accidents can be quite traumatic and injuring. If you suffered from extensive injuries, don’t let insurance companies force you into a settlement during your time of vulnerability. Find out a few facts about hiring a lawyer to get you the representation and compensation you deserve.

Collecting Evidence and Building a Case

When it comes to pedestrian accidents it is vital to place the fault where it belongs. It is one thing to get into an accident because of jaywalking. But, when it comes to negligent driving, the results can be awful. A pedestrian accident attorney will take the time to gather evidence, interview witnesses, and even conduct an investigation if necessary.

Negotiating a Settlement

If the person who caused the accident decides to hire a lawyer you may be in for a fight. What happens most often is that the insurance company will provide a settlement claim that is low in comparison to damages. A pedestrian accident attorney will help you understand the terms of the settlement. They will provide advice on taking or turning down the settlement. They will also provide assistance in negotiating the price and terms. Your attorney will ensure that you don’t get taken advantage of by the insurance company.

Get Strong Representation in Court

If you don’t come to a fair settlement, a pedestrian accident attorney will represent you and make a strong case in court. They will provide the best chance at receiving compensation for your injuries, pain and suffering, lost work days and wages and any other expenses that happened because of the accident. It is best not to attempt to go to court on your own. Having a qualified expert by your side will increase your chances of a favorable outcome.
