Were you involved in a pedestrian accident caused by a negligent driver? Learn how to protect your rights and pursue compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, and emotional distress after being struck as a pedestrian.
We can all relate. Everyone is a pedestrian. It’s all a question of mode of transportation on a particular day. Whether walking, jogging, or just standing roadside, we are never completely safe from vehicle traffic. As triathletes, Morlas and Stephen Schoenfeld are personally familiar with the dangers involved in jogging in the New Orleans and Lafayette areas. Without any natural barrier to protect a pedestrian from an oncoming vehicle, pedestrian accidents are commonly catastrophic or even deadly.
As a pedestrian, it’s important to always stay as visible as possible by wearing bright colors at night, making eye contact with drivers of vehicles as they pass by, and using sidewalks and crosswalks whenever available. Unfortunately, this is not always enough. These precautions are useless as long as there are still distracted or inebriated drivers on our streets. Quite often, pedestrian accidents lead to hit and run situations. Identifying the driver at fault can be difficult, even with witnesses to the accident. It is important to hire an aggressive attorney who will assist with identifying the negligent driver and holding them accountable for their actions. If involved in a pedestrian accident, the driver of the vehicle at fault and his car insurance company can be held liable for your damages.
