Pedestrian Accidents in Pennsylvania

Pedestrian accidents are the cause of countless injuries here in Pennsylvania each year. Regrettably, these victims are more likely to suffer severe injuries due to the fact that they are not protected during collisions. Pedestrians are likely to suffer from severe trauma to the head, broken bones, and other serious injuries that impact their lives forever. After suffering injuries in a pedestrian accident, victims have the ability to file a personal injury claim against the responsible party. A personal injury lawsuit can provide victims with financial relief for some of the damages they face. This includes:

• Medical Expenses: Victims of pedestrian accidents have the ability to pursue claims for medical expenses that they face resulting from their injuries. This can include immediate medical costs, long-term care expenses, therapy, rehabilitation, medication, and more.
• Lost Wages: If a victim is forced out of work to recover from their injuries, they have the ability to pursue legal action for lost wages. This can include any time that they had to take off from work to recover, as well as any long-term lost earnings due to being left permanently disabled.
• Pain and Suffering: Victims have the ability to seek compensation for the pain and suffering another accident has caused. This is based on the impact that the injuries have on their life, the extensive medical care required, and more.
