We do represent individuals who were pedestrians at the time of being hit by a motor vehicle. That’s what a pedestrian auto accident is. The typical case is where you’re just trying to cross the street or you’re walking on the shoulder or in a roadway where there is no actual sidewalk, and you’re walking as required by law, thinking that you’re being safe, but unfortunately, you’re struck by a motor vehicle. These accidents are very catastrophic, often resulting in life-changing injuries and, in most cases, death. Why? Because we’re talking about a piece of equipment with wheels that weighs tons and then strikes the individual.

In one of my cases, the individual, a woman in her 30s, was made quadriplegic; she was paralyzed. As a result, her life changed, and she had to go into a nursing home. She was made whole, obviously, because we got the maximum recovery. I like to use that term, maximum recovery, because the bottom line is no amount of money can ever fully compensate for what has happened to a person. However, what we make sure happens here is that you never have another financial worry ever again, and so you can believe that’s what we do here at my firm.
