Pedestrian accidents often happen in places where pedestrians have the right-of-way, like a crosswalk or a jogging lane. If you or a loved one has suffered personal injury that was caused by a negligent driver of a car, truck, bus, or motorcycle, you might be entitled to compensation. The negligible party can and should be held liable.

The personal injury lawyers at Reasonover understand the pain, disruption, anxiety, and financial stress that a serious personal injury can cause you and your family. You should not have to suffer because of another person’s negligence. We can help you take proactive legal steps to obtain the compensation that you deserve.

The process of receiving compensation for a pedestrian accident is through a claim or a civil court case. In most cases, a pedestrian accident case will never go to court. Instead, the parties will reach an informal resolution in order to avoid the cost, time, and complications that can arise from a formal court hearing and judgment. The value of your claim depends on the specifics of your situation, including the extent and the costs of your injuries and the insurance policies available to provide compensation. The types of compensation you may be able to recover after a Tennessee pedestrian accident include:

• Past and future medical bills
• Lost wages, including diminished future earning capacity
• Pain, suffering, and emotional distress
• Permanent impairment and/or disfigurement
• Punitive damages to punish the at-fault party for misconduct
