Getting you compensation for your injuries will be the top priority of your attorney, because this financial support will help give you the necessary tools to reach a full recovery. The injuries suffered by pedestrians can be severe, especially when a car, truck, or motorcycle caused the accident. The types of injuries some pedestrians suffer can be debilitating and may require long-term care, rehabilitation, and/or physical therapy, all of which can become quite costly. If you have monetary compensation to cover these expenses, it will make it easier for you to focus on what really matters, which is recovery.

Pursuing Compensation for Your Injuries

Cars, trucks, vans, SUVs, bicyclists, & motorcyclists must all take care to avoid pedestrians and respect their safety. Crosswalks are a frequent location of pedestrian accidents due to the fact that motor vehicles often fail to yield to pedestrians who are crossing the street. Pedestrians are given the right of way at crosswalks, and if a driver fails to acknowledge this, and injures the pedestrian, they can be held legally responsible for their actions.

If you or someone you love has been struck by a reckless or negligent driver, bicyclist, or motorcyclist, you need to take action to hold them accountable for their actions, and this starts with consulting a Philadelphia personal injury lawyer who is experienced handling these types of claims. Attorney Thomas J. Murphy will take whatever legal actions necessary to help get you the compensation you deserve after being injured because of someone else’s negligence.
