What Are Your Rights as an Injured Pedestrian?
If you have been injured in a pedestrian accident, you have the right to take legal action and hold the liable parties accountable for their actions. Another person’s failure to follow the duty of care they owe you should not put a financial burden on your shoulders. By taking legal action through a personal injury suit, you can gain fair compensation for your losses.
Pedestrians have the right of way ahead of motor vehicles in marked and unmarked roadways, according to Statute 8-1534 a. Motorists also owe a duty of care to pedestrians they might encounter, meaning they are required to stay alert and make every reasonable effort to maintain safety for others.
If you have more questions about how these laws and rights pertain to your claim, we recommend contacting a Hollis Law Firm lawyer. Our attorney can schedule a free consultation and answer any questions. We can also provide helpful information and resources that may benefit your case during challenging times.
Navigating Insurance Claims: What Should You Know?
If you make an insurance claim, it’s valuable to understand that you do not have to provide more information than necessary. While the company may request information about evidence and your point of view, we recommend giving the minimum information possible. Insurance companies do not have a victim’s best interest at heart, as they want to maintain their finances and pay as little as possible.
Before giving too much information to insurance and accepting any settlements they attempt to offer, we recommend that you retain legal support from an attorney for help. An experienced and knowledgeable attorney from Hollis Law Firm can assist you as you navigate these legal challenges. We have the resources and confidence to recommend your next steps, suggest what to tell insurance companies, and field communication from any involved parties.
