Pedestrians Accidents can cause significant injuries
As pedestrians we are frequently just steps away from speeding traffic, but rarely do we pause to consider how vulnerable the human body is against thousands of pounds of moving steel. And it only takes an instant of distraction to result in tragedy.
Lacking the protections of a car — or even a bicycle helmet — victims of pedestrian accidents run a much greater risk of suffering significant injuries, particularly head injuries arising from hitting the pavement or the car. Because of the nature and severity of such injuries, medical expenses for pedestrian accidents tend to be much higher than for other types of accidents.

We’ll help you receive the right kind of treatment
Traumatic brain injuries can’t always be identified right away — in some cases the full extent of the damage is not known for weeks or months — and head injuries often require referral to a specialist.
A child’s pediatrician may not be sufficiently trained to look for the symptoms of a head injury in order to make that referral. Adults with head injuries may exhibit memory loss, problems with concentration or mood change — symptoms a doctor less experienced with head injuries may write off as personality traits. Don’t let the insurance companies dictate your medical care. The Law Offices of Loren Etengoff will make sure you receive the right kind of treatment right away.
Pedestrian accidents are common near schools and parks
Pedestrian accidents often occur in neighborhoods or close to schools or parks, where children are more likely to dart out between parked cars or cross the street in mid-block. However, failure to be in a crosswalk doesn’t mean the child was at fault. If the accident occurred where a driver could expect to encounter children, the law imposes an extra duty of caution, and the driver would be liable.
Insurance companies try to blame the victim
Keep in mind that the goal of insurance companies is to pay out as little as possible. As a result, they will attempt to fix some of the blame on the victim.
