Pedestrian Accident Lawsuit
Were you injured as a pedestrian? You may be entitled to significant compensation!
Understanding Your Rights After a Pedestrian Accident
Washington state law mandates that drivers stop at intersections to allow pedestrians and cyclists to cross, whether in marked or unmarked crosswalks. In some cases, cities, counties, or government entities may also be held responsible if their negligence contributed to the accident.
If you’ve been involved in a pedestrian accident, it is essential to file a police report and gather the names and contact information of any witnesses. You bear the responsibility of proving that the driver or government entity was at fault.
PEDESTRIAN ACCIDENTS ARE EXTREMELY DANGEROUS
Unlike motorists, pedestrians have no protection in the event of a collision, making these accidents particularly severe. Serious injuries such as broken bones, traumatic brain injuries, and even fatalities are unfortunately common. Always remain vigilant and check for oncoming traffic before crossing the street.
LEGAL SUPPORT WHEN YOU NEED IT MOST
If you’ve been hit by a vehicle, seek medical attention immediately—even if you feel fine. Injuries may not become apparent until days later. At Shamis Gentile Law Firm, we have extensive experience handling pedestrian accident cases and are committed to helping you recover physically and financially.
STRUGGLING WITH PAIN AFTER THE ACCIDENT?
Even if you initially feel unhurt, lingering pain and injuries may develop over time. Seeking medical attention is crucial to ensure proper treatment and documentation for your case. Our legal team is here to guide you through the process and help you secure the compensation you deserve.
UNABLE TO WORK DUE TO YOUR INJURIES?
Your injuries shouldn’t leave you struggling financially. We will aggressively pursue compensation for lost wages due to missed work. Providing us with exact dates of missed employment will help us build a strong case on your behalf.
WHAT IF THE DRIVER FLED THE SCENE?
If the driver left the scene, don’t panic. Surveillance cameras in the area may have recorded crucial details such as the vehicle’s make, model, or license plate. If possible, take notes immediately and document everything you remember—it could be vital to your case.
