Last updated on June 27, 2024
In accidents involving a car and a pedestrian, the pedestrian almost always suffers the brunt of the harm. After all, motorists have the protection of four walls of steel. Pedestrian injuries frequently include expensive hospital stays, long-term rehabilitative therapy and the loss of earning potential.
Our attorneys at Keller, Woods & Thompson, P.A., can help you. We assist clients throughout Minnesota and Wisconsin in exploring their legal options following a pedestrian accident. We make sure to protect your rights as we hold the perpetrators accountable for your pain and suffering.
What Are The Common Injuries That Pedestrians Experience?
As we mentioned, pedestrians typically suffer devastating injuries in an accident, even if it did not involve high speeds or a particularly large vehicle. Some common injuries in pedestrian accidents include:
- Fractured bones
- Traumatic brain injuries
- Road rash
- Whiplash
- Neck injuries
- Spinal cord trauma
- Amputations
- Paralysis
The circumstances of every car crash vary. No matter the circumstances of your accident, we can help you explore options for both physical and financial recovery.
The Ongoing Costs Of A Pedestrian Injury
Pedestrian injuries, often severe and debilitating, can drastically alter lives, imposing ongoing costs and health challenges that extend far beyond the initial incident. When a pedestrian is struck by a vehicle, the consequences are frequently catastrophic, leading to extensive medical expenses, long-term rehabilitation and sometimes permanent disability. These injuries impact physical health and disrupt daily life, careers and personal relationships.
These injuries may require comprehensive medical care, multiple surgeries and rehabilitation programs that may span months or even years. During this period, individuals often face profound physical pain and emotional distress, along with financial strain due to medical costs and lost wages from being unable to work.
The aftermath of such accidents can put lives on hold indefinitely. Routine activities become challenging, if not impossible, and quality of life may diminish. The impact often extends beyond the injured to their families, who must provide support and care during recovery.
Why Fair Compensation Is So Important After An Injury
Proper compensation is crucial in these situations. Insurance companies, however, often attempt to minimize payouts, leading to additional stress and frustration for victims already dealing with substantial hardship. Adequate compensation covers immediate medical costs and provides for ongoing medical needs, rehabilitation, lost income and the long-term effects on quality of life.
For pedestrian accident victims, receiving fair compensation is not just about financial recovery but also about restoring dignity and gaining the ability to rebuild their lives. Compensation enables access to the best possible medical care and support services, helping victims regain independence and pursue a meaningful future despite their challenges.
Securing fair compensation can empower you to focus on recovery without additional financial burdens to reclaim your life and build your future with dignity and security.
