Dallas Pedestrian Accidents Lawyer
If you were hit by a vehicle while doing nothing more than walking on the sidewalk, across the street or through a parking lot, you have the right to take legal action against the person who injured you. You are not alone. A pedestrian is hit by a car every seven minutes. It is important to hold the driver who injured you responsible for his or her actions. If you or a loved one was hit by a car while walking, please call a skilled Dallas personal injury attorney from Crain Lewis.
Most vehicle-on-pedestrian accidents are caused by driver inattentiveness or pure recklessness. Pedestrians are almost never at-fault in these types of crashes, but they always take the brunt of the injuries. These victims often experience road rash, broken bones, nerve damage, brain injuries, spinal trauma, paralysis, coma and death. If you or a loved one has been victimized by any of these types of injuries, a Dallas personal injury lawyer can help you hold the driver responsible for your suffering.
As a pedestrian accident victim, you will be entitled to full compensation for your medical bills, physical therapy expenses, lost wages, lost quality of life and more. You will also be eligible for compensation covering your pain and suffering through this trying time. If the driver was drunk, or otherwise reckless, your Dallas personal injury attorney may also be able to claim punitive damages on your behalf in order to punish the driver for his or her dangerous behavior.
If you or a loved one was injured or killed after being hit by a careless or reckless driver, please call our offices today to schedule a free initial consultation with a top Dallas personal injury lawyer.
