Walking is an essential part of our daily lives. And people who are walking their kids to school, outside doing chores, or just getting some exercise have the right to be safe. Unfortunately, careless drivers who disobey traffic laws harm thousands of pedestrians every year.

What causes pedestrian accidents?

Pedestrians can be struck by a motor vehicle at intersections, crosswalks, on rural highways, or along other roadways. These accidents are most likely to happen at night when drivers may be fatigued or under the influence of alcohol or drugs.

Children and older citizens are often harmed by negligent drivers, but pedestrians of all ages are at risk when drivers don’t follow the rules. Careless behaviors that put pedestrians in peril include:

• Reckless driving
• Distracted driving
• Speeding
• Failure to yield
• Not paying attention at intersections
• Driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol

Let us do the hard work

If you were harmed in an accident, you’re going to have a lot of things on your mind – bills, doctor’s appointments, arranging childcare, and talking to your employers about missing time from work. One thing you shouldn’t have to worry about is haggling with insurance companies.

The sad truth is that insurance companies make their money by paying out as little in claims as possible. Agents are often rewarded for getting victims to sign off on claims that don’t cover the full cost of your injuries. But when GisbonSingleton Virginia Injury Attorneys is on your side, we won’t let the big insurance companies take advantage of you.

Our experienced Mathews County personal injury attorneys will take the necessary steps to build a strong claim on your behalf:

1. Investigate the accident by reading police reports, reviewing photographs and surveillance video, interviewing witnesses, and consulting with medical experts to prove that the driver’s careless actions caused your injuries.
2. Calculate your losses by documenting the true cost of medical expenses, time missed from work, lost wages, reduced earning capacity, home modifications, physical therapy, and other long-term expenses caused by the accident.
3. File claims against the insurance companies representing anyone whose negligence contributed to your injuries. In addition to the careless driver, this may also include companies that employ unqualified drivers, manufacturers of faulty equipment, or governments officials who failed to maintain a safe roadway.
4. Take your case to trial. We aren’t afraid to take the big insurance companies to court if that’s what we have to do to get you the money you deserve.

Getting compensation for your injuries

Pedestrians are completely vulnerable to the damages inflicted by a motor vehicle or a big rig truck. After one of these accidents, patients often require extensive medical treatment and a long recovery period to regain their health.

In many cases, pedestrians who were struck by a motor vehicle will never completely recover from their injuries. Victims may even need a lifetime of assistance and special accommodations just to get around.

At GisbonSingleton Virginia Injury Attorneys, we have experience helping people with the following types of serious injuries:

• Amputations
• Traumatic brain injuries (TBI)
• Broken bones
• Back and neck injuries
• Internal organ damage
• Spinal cord injuries
• Internal bleeding
