  2. They know that there are times when you simply do not feel like using a vehicle and want to go out for a walk or a bike ride. In fact, Pittsburgh is a great place to get around without a vehicle. Whether you are a regular exerciser or just want to get out for some fresh air, walking and jogging are wonderful ways to get out and about. Many people simply just walk to work, especially those in urban areas.But what happens when someone else’s negligence causes you harm? When you need a Pittsburgh pedestrian accident attorney, you can count on the team at Shenderovich, Shenderovich & Fishman to be by your side, working to get the compensation you deserve.

  3. The Numbers Pennsylvania sees its fair share of pedestrian accidents. Here are some of the numbers from the latest reporting year: Jupiter is a gas giant and the biggest planet in the Solar System Pedestrian accidents represent 3.2 percent of total crashes, but 13.2 percent of all traffic crash fatalities. There were over 4,000 pedestrian accidents last year. ● ● These accidents are particularly devastating to the victims because they have no protection from the impact of a vehicle or the ground. Most of the time, when people are stuck, they sustain some kind of injury. Minor injuries can include road rash, small lacerations, and bumps and bruises.Major injuries can include internal organ damage, spinal cord injuries, head, and brain trauma, broken or dislocated bones, and more. The more serious injuries can require major medical procedures and even rehabilitation. Many people require life-long care if they have a permanent disability. All of this can be incredibly costly. Did you know that spinal cord injuries that result in paralysis can cost over $1 million dollars for the first year of medical care?

  4. How They Happen Many pedestrian accidents are the result of careless driver behavior, especially around intersections and pedestrian right-of-way. Even at slower speeds, pedestrians can sustain major injuries.They know that drunk drivers are a major cause of concern and can really harm vulnerable pedestrians. Just as deadly are distracted drivers who continually look at their phone screens instead of the roadway. The bottom line is that drivers who are negligent can cause harm to the most vulnerable groups on and around the roadway.

  5. How To Prove A Car Driver’s Fault In A Pedestrian Accident? When collecting evidence to establish a motorist’s fault in your case, their lawyers will utilize a variety of tools and resources, including but not limited to: Security camera footage Police report Accident reports Witness statements Driver histories Black box data

  6. Photos and videos taken by the parties and witnesses Mobile phone records (in pedestrian crashes caused by distracted driving) ● ● Do keep in mind that the motorist might claim that you are partially to blame for your injury. Pennsylvania is a modified comparative negligence state, which means you can be barred from recovering damages if your fault is greater than that of another party. Also, under comparative negligence law, your compensation is reduced by the percentage of your fault.“For example, if you are entitled to $150,000 in damages and were 20 percent liable for the pedestrian accident, you will be able to obtain $120,000, which is only 80 percent of the full settlement,” explains their Pittsburgh pedestrian accident attorney from Shenderovich, Shenderovich & Fishman.

  7. What Damages Can You Pursue In Your Pedestrian Accident Case? “As a person injured in a pedestrian accident, what types of damages can you recover as part of your personal injury claim?” That is a very straightforward question to ask, especially given that they are talking about pedestrian accidents, where the victims tend to suffer more serious injuries than victims of ordinary car accidents. To calculate the value of your pedestrian accident case and determine the types of economic and non-economic damages that you are entitled to, it is important to consider the following factors: How severe is your injury? When are you expected to fully recover, if ever? How many days, weeks, months, or years of work will you have to miss due to the injury? Will you ever be able to perform your job duties? Has your earning capacity been diminished due to the injury? Can you still perform all of the activities that you used to perform in your life before the accident? Has the quality of your personal life been affected? Have any of your family members been affected by your injury? Was pain and suffering, mental anguish, emotional distress, or other non-tangible damages involved? ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ●
