Greater Boston Pedestrian Injury Claims
Contact an experienced Massachusetts personal injury attorney at Kenney & Conley in Braintree if you need legal advice and representation to recover damages for injuries suffered in a pedestrian accident. Our thorough and careful examination of the circumstances of your accident can help you recover the most complete compensation possible under the facts and the law.
The exposure of bicyclists and pedestrians to the full and direct impact of a motor vehicle, even at low speeds, can mean severe, disabling, or fatal injuries to the victim. We have seen firsthand the severe injuries that can result from the force of a motor vehicle colliding with a pedestrian — head injuries, hip injuries, back and neck injuries, leg fractures, spinal cord injuries, and other complex injuries. In other pedestrian accident cases, we have provided compassionate legal counsel to families overcoming the wrongful death of a loved one following a fatal pedestrian accident.
Recovering Compensation After a Pedestrian Accident
The expenses related to disabling injuries and the loss of a family member can create significant financial hardship. In analyzing your legal options for recovery in a pedestrian accident case, we look beyond the most obvious defendant — the motorist who struck you — to see whether other parties might also be responsible for your damages. These might include:
- The employer of a driver at fault
- The owner of commercial property with poorly marked or controlled access
- The operator of a retail parking lot with badly maintained and broken pavement
Additionally, in some cases, defects or performance failures of safety equipment or automotive components might indicate the liability of a manufacturer or distributor.
While the defendant's insurer will do everything possible to challenge, deny, and understate the gravity of the plaintiff's injuries, our work with treating and forensic physicians will advance your interest in having the full extent of your injuries recognized and compensated.
Many pedestrian accident cases, however, involve a liable party that cannot be located. Victims of hit-and-run accidents can still recover compensation for damages through an uninsured motorist claim against your own uninsured motorist/underinsured motorist coverage. In addition, compensation for lost income and immediate medical treatment is available as a benefit of your policy's Personal Injury Protection (PIP) coverage.
