Been In A Crosswalk Accident?
If a driver hits you while you are legally using a crosswalk, they may be held liable for your injuries.
Crosswalk accidents in Salt Lake City often cause serious injuries to pedestrians crossing the street. If you suffer a serious injury in a crosswalk accident, Christensen & Hymas can help you win a personal injury claim.
If a driver hits you while you are legally using a crosswalk, they may be held liable for your injuries. However, their car insurance company will most likely try to avoid paying you a fair settlement. Our lawyers have years of experience successfully taking on big insurance companies for our clients. You deserve compensation to cover your losses, and we can help you get it.
Christensen & Hymas offers each client our “No Fee Guarantee,” which means that you will not pay us any legal fees unless we win your crosswalk accident case.
Can a Successful Crosswalk Accident Lawsuit Help Me?
In general, drivers are always expected to yield the right-of-way to pedestrians using crosswalks. At intersections with stoplights and crossing signals, pedestrians should heed those devices to know when to cross. If a driver hits you while you are legally using a crosswalk, they can be found negligent and liable for your injuries.
In most cases, the driver’s insurance company will be responsible for paying you. A successful crosswalk accident lawsuit can help you cover your expenses after the accident. These expenses include the following.
- Medical bills
- Lost wages due to missed time at work
- Pain and suffering
These are just some of the major categories of losses that you can recover. Crosswalk accidents can be particularly devastating because pedestrians are not protected by a car or airbags. Christensen & Hymas can help you negotiate a settlement that meets all of your needs.
What about fatal crosswalk accidents?
You can also recover losses if a crosswalk accident kills one of your loved ones. These types of lawsuits are called “wrongful death” cases. You can receive the same types of compensation in these cases as in other accident cases, as well as other types specific to fatal accidents. For example, your settlement may include compensation for funeral expenses.
We can help you with personal injury and wrongful death cases. We offer free case consultations to anyone who would like to know about their rights in an accident case.
