In Bucks County alone, 14,656 people were involved in crashes in 2017. 0.74% were pedestrians. There were 50 people killed in crashes. 22.00% were pedestrians. Unfortunately, pedestrian accidents can happen anywhere a person walks near moving vehicles. This can include, but is not limited to: parking lots, sidewalks, crosswalks, and intersections. Pedestrian car accidents often happen at night, when it is difficult to see people walking on the road. Typically, pedestrians do not wear reflective clothing and may be difficult to see.

If you were injured in a car accident as a pedestrian, you may be entitled to compensation that covers your damages. By choosing Kats, Jamison & Associates, you ensure that we will fight protect to your rights. A pedestrian car accident can leave you facing many difficulties, including obtaining fair compensation from the responsible insurance company. The Bucks County lawyers at our firm are here to help you with your personal injury claim.

Common Causes of Pedestrian Car Accidents

Usually, except in very limited circumstances, pedestrians have the right of way. Automobile drivers are responsible for yielding to pedestrians who lawfully cross the street. However in some pedestrian car accident cases, drivers do not properly yield and cause injuries to occur. All too often, pedestrians are struck by negligent or distracted drivers who do not have the right of way. In worst cases, pedestrians are struck by drivers who are under the influence of drugs or alcohol. Please see our drunk driving page for more information about accidents involving the use of drugs or alcohol.

Negligence behind the wheel can take a variety of different forms including, but not limited to:

– Aggressive Driving
– Driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol
– Fatigued driving
– Failing to signal
– Failure to yield
– Distracted Driving
– Improper passing
– Not having lights on
– Speeding
– Texting while driving

Unfortunately, drivers involved in pedestrian car accidents cause serious harm to people walking on the road. Drivers typically sustain less damages compared to the people they injure in a car accident. Besides common injuries in car accidents such as, cuts, scrapes and bruises, more serious injuries can occur, such as broken bones, head/neck injuries, and even death in worst case scenarios.

At Kats, Jamison & Associates, we fight to recover fair compensation for pedestrian victims of car accidents. It is important to find an experienced and qualified attorney to help you with your personal injury case. You may be entitled to recover for the variety of damages you experience following a car accident. Some examples of damages may include physical, mental, emotional and financial losses such as medical expenses, hospital bills, lost earnings and loss of future wages. Physical damages may include loss in mobility, scars/loss of sensation, loss of limbs, and brain/head injuries. We make sure our clients get the support they need when experiencing emotional distress, depression and pain and suffering following a traumatic accident.

With over 33 years of experience dealing with personal injury cases, we understand these potentially life changing issues and not only work with our clients, but also their friends and family, doctors, psychologists and long-term care planners. Communication is key, and it is of utmost importance to ensure that victims of pedestrian car accidents receive not only the best legal representation but also the best support, medical care and future planning.

Unfortunately, sometimes after a pedestrian has been struck by a vehicle, the driver of that vehicle flees the scene. This is typically referred to a hit and run accident. In this case, if the driver is not found, we may pursue legal action against your own insurance company in order to make sure you are properly taken care of. For more information on hit and run accidents please visit this page.

Protecting Your Rights After Pedestrian Accidents

At Kats, Jamison & Associates, we understand the many different types of losses that you can incur following a serious accident. We do our best to protect your rights in order to recover fair compensation for you and your family. Some pedestrians can obtain compensation through an insurance claim with the negligent driver’s company. If this compensation is not enough to cover your damages and expenses, we may also file a claim with your own insurance company to supplement the value. Regardless, our personal injury attorneys, will negotiate the largest possible settlement under your policy based on the damages and losses you experienced.

Do I have to pay to speak with an attorney?

Philly Lawyers offers free case reviews so that you can better understand your legal options. This means you pay nothing for your first consultation. Additionally, Kats, Jamison & Associates works on a contingency fee basis meaning that if you do choose to hire us, you pay us nothing unless and until we win your case.

What should I do immediately after I’ve been involved in a car accident?

Call the police and make sure an ambulance is sent as soon as possible. Make sure everyone involved in the accident is conscious and responsive. Stay at the scene even if the accident isn’t serious, the police should be called regardless and a police report should be filed. It is important when speaking to the police that you stick to the facts, do not speculate, and most importantly do not admit any fault. Make sure you take as many pictures as you can with your cell phone. Also, we suggest taking a picture of the other person’s license plate, their drivers license, and insurance information. The pictures should document any damage that is caused by both vehicles. Seek medical attention as soon as possible if injured, even if you do not feel any pain, you may be in a state of shock and could experience medical issues later on.

What should I do before leaving the scene of an accident?

After a car accident, it is important to collect as much information as possible. Document the names, addresses, license plates of any other vehicle involved in the accident. Either document the weather conditions at the time of the accident or take pictures of the scene surrounding the accident. If you believe that road maintenance or lack thereof was a factor in the accident – it is important to document this as well. After your immediate medical injuries have been taken into account, it is then time to speak with a lawyer immediately. The sooner you contact a lawyer, the more time you will have to successfully prepare a personal injury case. The team at Kats, Jamison & Associates will analyze your car/motorcycle accident and determine whether or not you have a claim. Through this process we will make sure to protect your rights and guard you from predatory insurance company practices.

How do I know if I have a personal injury case regarding a car accident?

If you are experiencing pain, injury, or financial damages as a result of someone else’s negligence. You may have a personal injury case. If the other driver was at fault or failed to follow the legal rules of the road – our car accident attorneys may be able to prove that the other party is liable for those damages. For example, if you were rear-ended in a car accident, typically the other driver is responsible for that accident and the insurance company could be liable for any damages

What should I expect the first few days following a car accident?

Within the first few days, you will receive communications from both your insurance company and the other driver’s insurance company. You may be contacted by your health insurance company, doctors, and even attorneys. The other driver’s insurance company may request that you sign medical authorizations so they can retrieve your medical records. Before you speak to any of these people or sign any documents, it is important that you seek legal counsel.

How do I pay for medical expenses while my case is pending?

You may have a difficult time paying for your medical expenses, even if you have health insurance. Make sure to bill any treatment as you normally would through your healthcare provider. Additionally, you may have medical payment coverage under your car insurance plan. This could be used to cover your co-pays and other medical expenses that your health insurance company may not cover initially.

What type of compensation should I expect to receive for my car accident case?

This is a difficult question to answer because it depends on many factors. If we are successful in proving that the other party is liable for your injuries and damages, you could be compensated for medical bills and any other hospital costs, lost wages, costs of rehabilitation and physical therapy, disability or disfigurement, pain and suffering, wrongful death, including loss of financial support and any other out of pocket expense that was related to your accident.

How long will it take to complete my case?

Depending on the severity of your injuries and the length of time you need to heal from your injuries will determine the length of your claim. We also have to factor in the willingness of the other party to settle as they make their initial offer. If unreasonable offers are made, your claim may proceed to trial, which will increase the length of your claim.

What are the fees for representing me in a car accident case?

At Kats, Jamison & Associates all personal injury accident cases are handled on a contingency-fee-basis. This means that we will never charge you upfront for any cost and we will advance all costs and expenses. You will not have to reimburse our Firm for any costs unless we are successful. You will pay absolutely nothing for lawyers’ fees unless we win a monetary sum in your case.
