Pedestrians are most often struck in intersections, often by car drivers who disobey traffic signals or who fail to yield the right of way. Even when these accidents occur at very low speeds, they cause serious injuries to walkers. Knee injuries and leg or hip fractures are the most common types of serious injury. Pedestrians also frequently suffer foot crush injuries.
If the car was traveling at a high speed, the pedestrian is likely to be struck and thrown some distance, which can result in serious head injuries or spinal cord injuries.
At Arye, Lustig & Sassower, our goal is to make sure you receive the maximum compensation you deserve. In any serious injury case, it is important to get good medical care and a thorough, accurate diagnosis. We have extensive experience working with medical and rehabilitation experts to document our clients' injuries and the medical care they will need both now and in the future.
We have handled many leg and knee injury cases where the injuries occurred as the result of car accidents. These injuries not only can require complex surgery, but they often also lead to other medical problems down the road. We make sure our clients have received a thorough and careful medical assessment and that they do not agree to a settlement too soon, before the full extent of their injuries is known.
You have only one chance to obtain a financial recovery. We work to ensure it fully covers your needs. We provide a free initial consultation. and all our personal injury and wrongful death cases are handled on a contingency basis, so there are no legal fees unless we collect money damages for your injuries.
