Baton Rouge Pedestrian Accident Attorneys

Pedestrian accidents are more common than many people may think, and they can result in severe and even fatal injuries. If you or a loved one were harmed by a negligent driver, a personal injury attorney can help.

A Baton Rouge pedestrian accident lawyer understands the legal nuances involved in these types of cases and can help you navigate the road to recovery. Reach out to get the guidance and representation you deserve after a serious accident.

What to Do After a Pedestrian Accident

Following a pedestrian accident, you should file a report as soon as possible. The accident report will be the foundation of any civil claims made against the person who injured you.

You should also seek legal counsel before pursuing damages. A pedestrian accident attorney in Baton Rouge can help you make a legal claim, explain the applicable statutes, and increase your chances of receiving maximum compensation.

Understanding Pedestrian Rights After an Accident

Local law permits injured pedestrians to pursue compensation for their damages from the at-fault party in an accident. In order to make a claim, you and your attorney must prove that another person’s negligence led to the accident that caused your injuries.

According to state law, the statute of limitations to file a claim is one year from the date of the pedestrian accident. The sooner you reach out to a Baton Rouge pedestrian accident lawyer, the sooner they can help you file and begin building a case in your favor.

Important Factors in Baton Rouge Pedestrian Accident Cases

Some of the important elements of a pedestrian accident case that a skilled local attorney can advise on include the following:

Liability in a Pedestrian Collision Case

Often, the at-fault party in a pedestrian-vehicle accident is the driver, but that is not always the case. Pedestrians who are intoxicated, jaywalking, or not paying attention may be found partially liable for an accident. A qualified lawyer can help determine who the liable party is and what options are available to you.

Fatal Pedestrian Accidents

If a pedestrian is killed in a vehicular accident, their family members may be able to file a wrongful death lawsuit. In a successful wrongful death suit, plaintiffs could receive compensation for the cost of medical care the decedent received before their passing, funeral and burial costs, pain and suffering, income loss for the decedent’s household, and more.

Evidence in a Pedestrian Crash Case

Without legal counsel, gathering evidence to support a pedestrian accident case can be difficult. A qualified injury lawyer who handles pedestrian collision cases can assist in building a strong claim.

Work with a Baton Rouge Pedestrian Accident Attorney
