Florida has some of the most beautiful weather in the country. As a result, many tourists and residents alike take to the streets for leisurely strolls. During the day—and especially at night—these pedestrians are very vulnerable when crossing the street.
As we all know, pedestrians don’t have anywhere near the same protection as a vehicle when they’re walking around. As a result, they are subject to severe injuries. Infact, pedestrian accidents as a whole have been on the rise in recent years.
As one might expect, these accidents can have lasting effects. Whether it’s expensive medical bills or permanent injury complications, accidents can affect a person for the rest of their life. If you or a loved one has been involved in an accident, a Delray Beach pedestrian accident attorney from Elstein Legal can help.
Pedestrian Accidents and Liability in Delray Beach
Determining liability is crucial in any accident. Pedestrian accidents are no exception. Like any case, liability in the event of a pedestrian accident is based on the details of the case itself. Once liability has been determined, only then can potential compensation be calculated.
Although you may want to embark on this journey alone to save money, this decision could cost you in the long run. Going through the legal process is stressful for people that lack significant legal experience. To make matters worse, insurance companies are like any other business. They will do anything within the law to protect their bottom line and have experienced legal teams to back them up.
A pedestrian accident lawyer can help you navigate any legal obstacles. For example, our team can help you pursue non-financial damages—such as pain or suffering—that you may not otherwise seek out.
Delray Beach Pedestrian Accidents and Injuries
Did you know that pedestrians are more likely to be hit by a car in an urban area? Accidents are also more likely to happen at night and on the weekends. These facts are essential when determining liability, and the details of your case will play a big part in getting to the right outcome.
Pedestrian injuries tend to be severe and the potential for lifelong struggle is more likely than with normal car accidents. You or your loved one may need financial help for many years to deal with the aftermath of a pedestrian accident. Having a Delray Beach pedestrian accident lawyer from Elstein Legal will help you get the right compensation and pursue long term issues like lost wages.
Many insurance companies will offer victims a deal to cover injuries. Although these deals are often enticing, they don’t always cover everything. Elstein Legal strives to change that.
