If the accident wasn’t your fault, you may be eligible for a financial settlement, and our Lake Worth, FL pedestrian accident lawyer can help you get it. Warner & Fitzmartin – Personal Injury Lawyers is a boutique law firm focusing on the needs of injured victims like you. We invite you to contact us today to discuss your legal options.

How Pedestrian Accidents Impact Victims Like You

Even though many pedestrian accidents happen at low speeds, like walking speed or a car’s slower cruising through an intersection or parking lot, they have the potential to produce devastating injuries for the victim. Many people instinctively put out their hands to break the fall, and so may end up with two broken or sprained wrists. Imagine trying to work or care for your family when you cannot use both your hands. You can’t, and may be unable to work for months. Your pedestrian accident settlement can cover all the unearned wages from the time you missed at work, so you can take care of your bills.

Many pedestrian accident victims also suffer serious head injuries. If you’re struck by a car, you hit the car, then the hard pavement, and suffer a blow to the skull and traumatic brain injury. Brain injuries are difficult to treat and can cause permanent damage. You may be unable to do tasks you once completed with ease, experience personality changes or develop a mental illness, or trigger a sudden onset of cognitive decline. Additionally, you may suffer other serious injuries, like broken bones, internal organ damage, and internal bleeding, or painful road rash.

As your medical bills pile up, and you’re still unable to return to work, you may be wondering who can help you. Will the person who hit you see justice? Even if the driver who struck you faces criminal charges, that won’t help you pay your bills. We’re ready to help you. Our Lake Worth pedestrian accident lawyer can take the reins for your civil suit for damages and pursue full and fair compensation for all your losses.
