At the base of any successful personal injury claim is a definitive form of proof that liability lies in the hands of the other party. As your representatives, The Legal Reps will seek evidence that supports your claim, including police reports, photos, video/surveillance, witness testimonies, etc. Furthermore, proving the negligence of the motorist will strengthen your claim. The elements of negligence are as follows:

  • The defendant owed a duty of care to the plaintiff;
  • The defendant breached that legal duty by failing to act as any reasonable person would in similar circumstances;
  • The plaintiff was injured as a direct result of the defendant’s breach of duty.

 

In the vast majority of cases, the motorist is primarily to blame, as the pedestrian has the right of way.

It is crucial that drivers communicate and signal their intentions to pedestrians. This simple instruction may have powerful preventative measures. Risk factors that contribute to the frequency of pedestrian factors include:

  • Poor visibility (time of day)
  • Infrastructure issues
  • Distracted driving
  • Negligence or recklessness
  • Speeding
  • Intoxication or physical impairment

 

Injuries that often seen in pedestrian accidents include (but are not limited to):

  • Spinal cord injury
  • Brain injury
  • Internal organ damage
  • Fractured/broken bones
  • Lacerations
  • Abrasions
  • Concussions
  • Torn ligaments

 

Seeking medical attention following your accident is vital.

The full extent of an injury may not be apparent due to the masking effects of adrenaline. Even if you feel that you do not need it, it is wise to get yourself evaluated by a medical professional.

Seek the legal counsel of an experienced personal injury attorney from The Legal Reps to effectively maximize your potential for compensation. We want you and your family to focus on recovery while we secure justice as your representatives. We will handle the entire legal process, from A to Z. The statute of limitations that a victim has to file their personal injury claim is typically 2 years from the date of the accident.
