As a pedestrian who was hit by a vehicle, you are well aware of the impact the accident has had on your life. You know you have immediate losses, and you know that these losses can greatly affect your future, too.
One challenging aspect of a personal injury case is calculating the full extent of your losses. It’s easy to overlook some damages, especially if they do not have direct financial values. Our Allentown pedestrian collision lawyers can help you seek a settlement or verdict that addresses each and every one of your losses.
Economic damages are those losses that have an easily calculated, identifiable financial impact on your life. Essentially, if the injury or loss has an associated bill, receipt, or invoice, it’s an economic loss.
Some of these expenses are current or ongoing, or they could be expenses you are projected to have. These include:
Non-economic damages are losses you have suffered that do not have a direct financial value. These losses are just as significant as your economic ones, but they are even more challenging to calculate. Our Allentown pedestrian lawyers work with various experts to help measure the impact these have on your life and come up with a figure to help compensate you for this harm.
Non-economic losses can address:
If a loved one passed away, our wrongful death attorneys can make sure you and your family are compensated for these and additional benefits, where applicable. Let our Allentown pedestrian accident attorneys help you seek these and other damages. Callus today to get started.
Pedestrian accidents are catastrophic and even fatal to many victims. Driver negligence is often the cause for these accidents, which include:
Pedestrian injuries and fatalities in recent years have spurred Allentown officials to make the city safer for pedestrians. Allentown is yet another city taking part in Vision Zero initiatives to address fatalities caused by motor vehicles and unsafe roads by implementing a Safe Streets for All (SS4A) Action Plan.
When you call our office or work with our pedestrian and car accident lawyers, we can provide more in-depth answers to your questions or concerns. For now, here are some questions you may have about your Allentown pedestrian accident.
Per 42 Pa. C.S.A. § 5524(2), you have approximately two years from the date of your pedestrian accident to sue for damages. Of course, there are circumstances that might extend this deadline to act, but you should not assume these apply to your circumstances.
Our lawyers can review your case to see how long you have to file your lawsuit, and we will act quickly to make sure your case is filed within this window.
You absolutely can afford our services because you don’t pay us unless we win. When you start working with us, we will go over the details of our contingency-fee-arrangement. Our firm will receive a percentage of the settlement or verdict, and we’ll detail this percentage before you officially hire us. You have nothing to lose when working with our team.
Yes, sometimes pedestrians may be somewhat at fault for the accident. Other times, drivers may try to unfairly blame pedestrians for their own accidents. However, don’t let either scenario turn you away from seeking damages. You can still potentially pursue compensation through Pennsylvania’s modified comparative negligence law, outlined in 42 Pa. C.S.A. § 7102.
Our Allentown pedestrian accident attorneys can fight back against arguments that try to reduce your damages or force you to forgo them altogether.
Pedestrians deserve safety and respect from drivers, but some drivers ignore their duty to pedestrians and laws that are supposed to keep everyone safe. Our Allentown pedestrian accident lawyers are here to help you fight back against this negligence and get the compensation you need to recover.
