Key Factors That Impact Pedestrian Accident Claims

Getting struck by a car while walking on a sidewalk, in a pedestrian zone, or crossing the street can lead to devastating injuries. If you choose to file a claim against the responsible driver, you might be wondering what some considerations that make your claim successful are.

Read on to find out more about the key factors that impact pedestrian accident claims, and how an experienced Charlotte personal injury lawyer can help. 

Important Considerations for Pedestrian Accident Claims

Whether you can negotiate a settlement with the responsible driver’s insurance company or you decide to file a formal lawsuit in court, there are some important factors that can impact the ultimate success of your pedestrian accident claim. These include: 

• The nature of your injuries
• Where you were walking at the moment of the accident
• Whether the driver is facing criminal charges
• The extent of the economic and non-economic damages you’ve suffered
• The statute of limitations
• Other factors, including long-term impact of the accident

Given pedestrian accident claims work similarly to any other personal injury claims, it’s important to consider your ability to demonstrate the negligence of the at-fault driver, and how it led to your specific losses. 

Because of the complex of filing a claim on their own, most pedestrian accident victims elect to retain the services of an experienced personal injury lawyer to help them with their claims.
