When a motor vehicle strikes the unprotected human body, serious injuries almost always occur. Some pedestrian crashes leave victims permanently disabled.
At Rainwater, Holt & Sexton, we represent people with all types of pedestrian accident injuries in Little Rock. Our pedestrian crash attorneys work to ensure you receive compensation that reflects the severity of your injuries. You can contact us today for guidance throughout the legal process.
Every pedestrian accident is unique, as are the resulting injuries. However, it is rare for a pedestrian to walk away from a crash unscathed.
Our Little Rock attorneys help people who have experienced various forms of injury in pedestrian accidents. We have represented clients suffering from:
We recognize that pedestrian accidents can also cause deep psychological injuries. We make sure to include the collision’s impact on your mental health in our assessment of your damages.
We work closely with your medical team to understand the impact of your injuries and your long-term prognosis. When the doctors feel comfortable predicting the extent of your recovery, we can start calculating your potential damages.
Severe physical trauma affects everyone differently. A young, healthy person who is struck by a car may eventually recover with minimal permanent impact. If you are older or have an existing health issue, the same injuries might leave you permanently disabled.
We take each client’s individual needs and circumstances into account when calculating damages. If the types of injuries you sustained in the Little Rock pedestrian crash are very serious, you may require ongoing treatment, assistance at home, or admission to a residential care facility. Even less serious injuries might impact your ability to return to your job or work at all.
We consider how the injury affects your ability to enjoy your favorite hobbies and activities and whether it impacts your relationships with loved ones. Our attorneys seek damages for all the ways the accident diminished your quality of life.
When you engage our firm, we investigate the accident for evidence demonstrating who is responsible. Usually, the driver who hit you is liable, but other parties may share responsibility in some cases.
Once we understand the extent of your damages, we will open negotiations with the responsible parties. If you suffered more severe forms of harm in the Little Rock pedestrian collision, it may be several months before we are able to make an accurate calculation. In most cases, negotiations eventually produce a settlement that allows you access to the care you need and compensates you for the accident’s effect on your well-being.
Sometimes, the other side may argue that you share responsibility for the accident. If there is evidence that your conduct was careless and contributed to the incident, Arkansas Code Annotated § 16-64-122(b) may apply. This law states that you can collect damages as long as you are less than 50 percent at fault, but your damages will be reduced accordingly. Our pedestrian accident attorneys work hard to limit your degree of fault and preserve your right to receive damages for your injuries.
Pedestrian accidents can be physically and psychologically traumatic. The lawyers at Rainwater, Holt & Sexton believe you deserve full compensation, no matter which types of pedestrian accident injuries in Little Rock you suffered.
There are no up-front fees, and we do not charge unless we win compensation for you. Contact us today to discuss your pedestrian accident and learn how we could help you.
