A pedestrian hit by any kind of motor vehicle is likely to be seriously hurt, and it is common for pedestrian accident injuries to prove fatal. Some of the most common injuries we see when assisting pedestrians hit by a motor vehicles in Manhattan include:
The medical bills from treatment for any one of these types of injuries can cost thousands of dollars. In cases of disabling injury, the victim will require medical treatment and personal care for years, or perhaps the rest of his or her life. Medical costs may include delayed surgery or other treatment, ongoing medication and therapy, assistive or adaptive equipment, or even renovations to the injured person’s home. In a pedestrian fatality, the victim’s death may happen any time after medical care has begun, saddling the family with medical expenses on top of their grief.
Unfortunately, if there is any cause to dispute a claim, insurers will try to avoid paying. In a pedestrian accident, it is often easy to point fingers and blame the victim. Insurers who actually agree to pay claims instead of denying them typically offer far less than a seriously injured pedestrian deserves.
