Pedestrian Accidents

The Law Offices of David D. Diamond

A pedestrian accident is a type of accident that involves a pedestrian – a person that travels by foot.  All too often, operators of motor vehicles do not see or take notice of the pedestrians that they share the streets and roads with.  When this happens, innocent pedestrians may be hit by vehicles that are much larger and stronger than they are and they may sustain life-threatening injuries.  This is especially true in cases where pedestrians are hit by large semis, tractor trailers, 18 wheelers and commercial trucks.   

Pedestrian Accident Lawsuits

When pedestrians have been injured by negligent truck drivers or trucking companies, they may decide to take legal action by filing a personal injury lawsuit.  However, before pedestrian accident victims file their lawsuits, they may be approached by insurance companies who will offer low settlements.  Even though it may be tempting to accept the settlement, people should never assume that a defendant’s insurance company would try to help them.  Instead, they must remember that insurance companies are in the business of making and saving money and will always try to settle a pedestrian accident case for much less than it is worth.

Instead of settling, people should take the time to meet with a qualified pedestrian accident lawyer, like the lawyers at the Law Offices of David D. Diamond.  At the Law Offices of David D. Diamond, we will take the time to review and discuss our clients’ cases.  After an extensive review, we will provide our clients with legal options that are tailored to their individual circumstances.  In some cases, we will advise clients that settling is their best option.  In other cases, we may recommend that clients move their cases to trial.  Regardless of the recommended course of legal action, we will always provide victims of pedestrian accidents with the aggressive representation and reliable advice they need to recover compensation for their serious injuries.
