Bonita Springs Pedestrian Accident

Automobile accidents are stressful. But when a car physically hits a person, it can have a devastating impact on their lives. Pedestrians will most likely never come out as the winner when they are in the path of a moving vehicle. Cars weigh a lot more than people do. Even when they travel at a slow speed, a moving car can cause significant damage to the person it hits.

Car crashes that involve pedestrians not only result in extensive injuries; the families they impact can suffer from extreme financial and emotional hardship. When you've been seriously hurt in a pedestrian car crash, you may be looking at weeks, possibly even months, of medical treatment and recovery time. It may mean expensive hospital stays, medical procedures, and visits to the doctor. And if you can't work and your family depends on your income, this can strain your family's finances.

At Wolfson & Leon, we help families impacted by devasting accidents. If you were seriously hurt after being struck by a car, you may not know what your next steps should be. You might be wondering if you have a case or have questions about what to expect if you file a lawsuit. You can learn more by contacting Wolfson & Leon. We will look at your situation for free and let you know what legal alternatives you may have. Call us today at (239) 777-9954.

There are times when a pedestrian shares some responsibility for the accident. Under Florida's comparative negligence rules, the amount awarded for damages is reduced by the percentage of blame assigned to the pedestrian. Even if you share part of the responsibility for the accident, it doesn't mean that you aren't entitled to damages. You receive a lesser amount commensurate with your responsibility.

At Wolfson & Leon, we work on a contingent fee basis. Under this type of arrangement, you only pay for legal services when your case has been settled. Once this has been reached, the agreed-upon legal fees are paid out of the money you receive at settlement. Since no fees are paid unless the case is settled, this helps you get the legal representation you need now without worrying how you will pay it.

The compensation that you may be able to recover depends mostly on the facts of your case. The damages that you may be able to receive include funds for;

• Current medical bills
• Future medical treatment
• Lost wages
• Reduced future earning potential
• Continuing care at home

You could be entitled to recover non-economic damages, such as pain and suffering, mental anguish, and anxiety. Damages like these are meant to compensate the injured victim for losses that impact their enjoyment of life.
