More than one story begins with “I was walking along, minding my own business when suddenly . . .” Pedestrian accident victims are often walking in a legal crosswalk or even on the sidewalk when they are struck and injured by a vehicle. And of course, it is never a fair fight; even at low speeds, when a car strikes a pedestrian, broken bones, internal injuries, head wounds, and even death are common.

At Ladah Law Firm PLLC, we know your rights as a pedestrian and we have the experience to obtain the compensation you need. If you are legally walking, the driver of the vehicle is liable for your injuries and their car insurance would be responsible to compensate you for your injuries, medical bills, rehabilitation, lost income, pain and suffering, as well as other losses you may incur due to the accident. If it was a hit-and-run, as Las Vegas hit-and-run accident attorneys we can even help protect your rights in a hit-and-run.

Negligent Walking

Despite the evidence, the insurance company will try to show that you are at least partially responsible for the accident. If you have been drinking, they will attempt to show that you weren’t paying attention or that you failed to yield when you should have. More importantly, they try to show that your drinking directly caused the accident. They may also attempt to show that you weren’t legally crossing the street or that you were walking in the street.

Since the insurance company’s goal is to pay you as little as possible, they will make every attempt to show you at fault. As your legal representative, we don’t let insurance companies get away with these tactics. We deconstruct the accident, showing where you are entitled to the compensation you need and deserve.
