Akron, OH Pedestrian Accident Lawyer

Following an accident, your first step should always be to call 911 and seek out medical treatment. Even if an accident doesn’t seem serious, you could have further complications like internal bleeding. You’ll always want to start gathering any evidence, including medical records, police reports, and photographs of the scene.

While taking a proactive approach is ideal, it might not be practical for everyone. Trying to gather evidence while also dealing with medical issues is a tall order. Our attorneys can help make the process easier. We can handle nearly every aspect of your case, including gathering evidence during the discovery phase. We’ll work hard to build your case.

Victims and their families often wonder what exactly a settlement can pay for. Victims often pursue compensation to cover their immediate medical bills, but a settlement can cover so much more. Besides immediate and ongoing medical expenses, a settlement can also help with lost wages. When you’ve been involved in a pedestrian accident, there’s a good chance that you won’t be able to work. A settlement can account for any of these lost wages as well as job rehabilitation if the accident leaves you unable to continue your professional career.

Besides more concrete costs, accidents often impact victims emotionally. A settlement often accounts for factors like emotional distress and pain and suffering.
