Pedestrian Accident Injuries
New Jersey has a reputation as one of the most dangerous states for pedestrians. Our Hackensack pedestrian accident attorneys see a wide range of injuries associated with these accidents. While not a complete list, some of the most common injuries are:
- Head injuries
- Contusions (bruising)
- Severe skin injuries
- Hand and wrist injuries
- Debilitating spinal cord injuries
- Broken bones and complex fractures
- Soft tissue injuries, like sprains, strains, and torn ligaments
Other complicated pedestrian injuries include damage to internal organs and damage to reproductive organs.
In the most tragic cases, pedestrian accidents are fatal. Sadly, some fatalities occur at the scene of the accident. In other cases, a pedestrian who suffered severe injuries may pass away during the ambulance ride to a hospital, later in the emergency room, or while undergoing surgery for their wounds. Families of these victims should contact a lawyer immediately for assistance.
How Could an Experienced Lawyer Help After a Pedestrian Collision
Pedestrian accident injuries can be life-changing, whether the victim is a youngster, a senior, a parent, or the family breadwinner. During the months immediately following a pedestrian accident, bills will accumulate quickly. A family may need to grieve or learn to cope with the new reality of paraplegia or quadriplegia for their family member. A surviving victim misses school or work, and the loss of income brings financial hardship.
An experienced pedestrian accident lawyer in Hackensack could help a family present their case to insurance companies and the court and collect the funds they deserve for these injuries.
Costs such as medical bills, physical therapy, prescription drugs, and medical devices should all be covered by insurance. An experienced attorney could help a family maintain accurate records and ensure these bills get paid.
If a driver was behaving particularly poorly at the time of the accident (for example, by drag racing in a school zone), a judge may choose to award extra funds to the victim or their family. The evidence in these cases can be complex, and an experienced lawyer could help collect evidence, such as police reports or surveillance footage.
