Compensation for a Pedestrian Accident
Whether you are filing a claim for yourself or a loved one, our attorneys will help you understand your specific rights. Usually, after a pedestrian accident, you may recover damages to compensate for the following losses:
Medical Costs
Costs associated with your treatment and recovery are compensable losses through your injury case. These may include:
- emergency room visits
- hospital stays
- prescriptions
- rehab
- medical equipment and devices
- surgery
- specialist care
- short or long-term care
- assisted living
- transportation to and from appointments
Lost Income
While you recover, you may be unable to work. It’s also possible that your future earning ability will be impacted by the severity of your injuries. We can help you recover wages you lost while you healed, wages you will lose due to your physical limitations, and benefits you would have otherwise been entitled to.
Non-Economic Damages
Non-economic damages do not have a receipt, bill, or estimate like your economic damages. They are personal losses that directly impact your quality of life. These might include:
- Mental and emotional pain
- Physical pain
- Physical limitations
- Inconveniences due to your injuries
- Loss of life enjoyment
- Loss of mobility
- Loss of independence
Wrongful Death Damages
If your loved one passed away from their injuries, our wrongful death attorneys will help you determine who has the right to file a claim and what types of claims may be made, such as:
- Survival claim or action. You or the legal representative of the estate may file a claim on behalf of your loved one’s estate for medical costs, the victim’s pain and suffering, and other expenses, including funeral and burial costs.
- Wrongful death claim or action. This claim may be made by close surviving family members or a personal representative seeking compensation for the loss of the loved one.

How Our Pedestrian Accident Attorneys Help You
Over a quarter of a million people live in Harford County. Tens of thousands of vehicles drive in and around the area each day. Because of this level of traffic congestion, pedestrians are especially at risk of being overlooked and injured. However, as a pedestrian, you have rights that must be protected, especially after someone’s negligence resulted in your injury.
Here’s how our attorneys will protect your rights to compensation:
- Investigate the accident to help demonstrate the facts surrounding your claim. We will do this by collecting police reports, taking to witness, reviewing images and videos of the event, and analyzing your medical history and injury-related records.
- Communicate on your behalf with all involved parties. When we take the lead and communicate with insurers and at-fault parties, we can prevent you from being manipulated into accepting lowball offers or making costly mistakes.
- Negotiate with insurance companies for appropriate compensation. We will fight for a financial award that considers your current and future needs.
- Prepare for trial and represent you if a settlement is not reached. If it comes to litigation, we will make sure you are prepared for proceedings.
