PEDESTRIAN ACCIDENTS 

​

Can you sue once you are involved in an accident as a pedestrian? The simple answer to this question is yes! Pedestrian accidents often occur on sidewalks, crosswalks, school areas, parks, playgrounds, bike paths, bike lanes, and even in the entrances/exits of parking lots. Distracted driving is a leading cause of pedestrian accidents, whether the driver is driving recklessly, on the phone, speeding, driving under the influence, or simply ignoring crosswalks and traffic control devices. The most extreme pedestrian accident occurs when someone suffers the loss of a loved one or the person injured suffers great bodily harm.

​

Our goal is to seek the compensation you deserve by recovering your medical bills, long-term care costs, lost wages, compensation for disfigurement, pain and suffering, loss of a normal life, and other related expenses. In wrongful death cases, we can seek funeral expenses and compensation for emotional trauma to survivors.

Here at Rafidi Law, Fuad Rafidi is an experienced attorney who can help you from start to finish. Sometimes these motor vehicle-pedestrian accidents occur when the driver of the motor vehicle has no insurance. Ask yourself, "What happens next?" Most people do not know that even though there is a bicycle involved and not a motor vehicle, there may still be coverage under the uninsured or underinsured motorist policy that you pay for. Whether that involves filing your claim with the insurance company and guiding you as you go through treatment or filing a lawsuit, Rafidi Law is the only attorney for you.
