What Does An Aberdeen Pedestrian Accident Lawyer Do?
Pedestrians in Maryland typically have the right-of-way in most situations. Even if a pedestrian is “jaywalking” or otherwise doesn’t have the right of way starts crossing the road, drivers have an obligation to avoid harming them. Insurance companies will try to blame the victim of a pedestrian accident – you –to avoid paying out a large settlement. A pedestrian accident attorney represents you, building a case proving that the other driver was careless of your safety and therefore, eligible for the harm they caused you.
Your lawyer builds the case by gathering evidence and interviewing witnesses, then presenting the evidence according to Maryland Law. They handle all the legal matters necessary to advance your claim, including communicating with the other party and negotiating a settlement with their insurance company. With our extensive experience litigating these types of claims, the attorneys at our firm are uniquely qualified to value your claim, ensuring we demand every penny you’re entitled to.
What Kind Of Compensation Am I Entitled To?
There’s a good chance you were seriously injured in a motorcycle accident. You may have broken bones or a head injury, severe and painful road rash, or even require surgery. Some people become permanently disabled in a motorcycle accident, and you may be unable to continue in the same line of work you were doing before the crash. Your settlement can cover all related medical expenses for injuries from the crash and replenish unearned wages from the time you missed at work. You may also be eligible for the difference in earning potential if you have to take a lower-paying job because of your injuries.
We also demand that you be fairly compensated for the pain and suffering and emotional trauma you suffered from the wreck. These intangible losses, including a loss of quality of life and consideration for disfigurement or disability, are non-material yet still valuable, and you deserve compensation.
