Radcliff FAQ
Injured pedestrians should reach out to a pedestrian accident attorney quickly. There are many important steps to take after a crash, and you might be in too much pain to begin building a case on your own. Let an attorney do the necessary legwork to get a claim going.
For example, a lawyer can help gather evidence to prove fault for the crash. Your lawyer should also help you document your injuries, including keeping medical records and proof of lost income.
We see many motorists claim a pedestrian ran into the road. Whether that is true or not, you must respond to the allegation. This is an attempt to put some of the blame for the accident on your shoulders. We can use our skills to argue that your contributory negligence was minor, possibly even non-existent.
Settlement negotiations usually take months. We might even participate in mediation to help move the process along. When successful, your settlement should provide fair compensation for your medical bills, lost income, property damage, and pain and suffering.
