Steps To Take If Your Loved One Loses Their Life In A Pedestrian Accident

The majority of people don't believe pedestrian/car accidents happen very often. Nor do they truly know how serious the events are unless they or their family members are involved. In 2017 alone, Florida's Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles reported that there were 9,420 of the incidents in the Sunshine State. Those episodes accounted for 8,126 injuries and 659 fatalities. Common damages sustained by participants that live after the impacts include but are not limited to...

• Fractures And Broken Bones
• Internal Organ Damage/Bleeding
• Traumatic Brain Injury
• Partial And Full Paralysis
• Loss Of Limbs

However, many times, as the stats above reveal, death can be an outcome as well. After all, skin and bones are no match for 3,000, 4,000, or 5,000-pound motor vehicles. Families have to try to deal with the sudden and unexpected tragedies. Then, while they are merely attempting to grieve, hospital bills sometimes start coming through the mail. Not to mention, they have to come up with the funds for the loved one's funeral. All the while, if the person that lost his or her life was the primary breadwinner, there is no income coming in.

The Family Of A Victim Should Hire A Proven And Trustworthy Accident Attorney


If it can be proven that the driver of the car acted negligently, the victim's family may be entitled to fair compensation. Reckless acts include things such as failing to yield the right of way, speeding, texting while driving, and more. There is not enough money in the world to make up for what the group lost, but still, a settlement can help with final expenses and other costs. Every accident is unique and different, which means compensation will vary on a case by case basis.

Some of the factors that usually impact the amount include lost wages, pain/suffering, medical bills, and mental anguish. Everybody knows that healthcare is not cheap today. Hence, hospital and doctor charges could be thousands of dollars. Not to mention, paying for a funeral can be a bit dicey too. According to Parting.com, an average North American funeral with no-frills runs between $7,000 and $10,000. So, don't get stuck in financial trouble when your loved one did nothing to cause the predicament.

Instead, contact our office to schedule a free case review. The team will fight tooth and nail on your behalf to recover the compensation that you deserve. The pros of taking this action far outweigh the cons. Therefore, what are you waiting for? Proven legal assistance is only a phone call away.
