Pedestrian Accident Benefits

Question: How is a Pedestrian Hit by a Car Compensated for Injuries?

Answer:

If you’re a pedestrian and you’re involved in an accident because a motorist runs into you, you’re entitled to compensation. What that means is you were hit by a car while walking through a crosswalk, and ended up in an ambulance. They took you to the ER, so now you’ve got an ambulance bill and you’ve got an ER bill. You might have been admitted to the hospital; now you’ve got a hospital bill. You’ve got doctor visits. You’re missing work. All of these things are happening, not because of anything you did, but because someone else was careless. At the end of the day, you’re entitled to cover all of your medical bills, all of your lost wages, and all of the physical impairment that those injuries caused.
