Pedestrian Accident Injury and Wrongful Death Attorney
Pedestrian accidents often result in the most catastrophic injuries. Investigators are certainly working to establish liability. The investigation will likely be focused on a variety of possible causes such as distracted driving, right-of-way violations, and excessive speed. Upon the conclusive findings of the investigation, there would likely be grounds for a serious personal injury lawsuit to follow.
The sudden loss of a loved one most often results in extremely high expenses due to unexpected hospital bills, funeral costs, and loss of future wages. Many families are left in financial ruin after a devastating accident, and this is generally reason enough for many families to pursue filing a claim for compensation. Albeit, only the family members of the victims can ultimately decide if they wish to file a wrongful death claim.
