You may recover economic damages such as medical bills, rehabilitation costs, lost wages, and future medical needs. You may also seek non-economic damages for pain and suffering. A lawyer can help determine which damages apply, gather evidence, and negotiate with the at-fault party or insurer.
Case timelines vary by complexity, evidence, and cooperation of the parties; many pedestrian claims settle within months, while others take longer. We provide an overview of your specific timeline after reviewing the details.
While you can file a claim without an attorney, having representation improves your odds of a fair settlement and ensures deadlines are met. A lawyer helps prepare, file, and manage communications with insurers and courts.
Collect medical records, accident reports, contact information for witnesses, photos of injuries and the scene, and any receipts. Keep a log of symptoms and how injuries affect daily activities.

Most cases settle before trial, but some proceed if a fair agreement isn’t reached. We prepare for either path to secure the best possible result.
