Pedestrian accidents often result in devastating injuries and you may now be dealing with a situation where you are facing high medical bills and many complex issues that need to be resolved. Insurance carriers who defend drivers are looking for any sign of pedestrian fault that can result in you having no claims or right of compensation. Attorney Lynda L. Parks is experienced with these insurance company tricks and tactics and stands ready to enforce your legal rights and fight for the maximum payment for all claims. 

A pedestrian is lawfully in the crosswalk if it is their turn to cross. Distractions such as cell phone use while driving are common causes of pedestrian accident cases and they most often occur in rural areas that are without crosswalks. These accidents are often the fault of the driver, however there are ways an insurance company can reduce or absolve the driver of fault.  For example, if the pedestrian was found “darting” across the roadway outside of a crosswalk crossing highway roads they may not be eligible for compensation for damages. After demonstrating the liability of the defendant, a successful plaintiff may be able to recover compensation for both economic and non-economic damages. 

Attorney Lynda L. Parks aggressively represents victims who pursue personal injury claims after pedestrian accidents by opposing and overcoming insurance company defense tactics. It is important to make sure your financial needs are addressed, as well as the specific aspects of your claim to help ensure you have the best opportunity of getting the help you need for medical bills, any lost earnings from missed work, and other expenses or injuries.
