Shelby, NC Pedestrian Accident Attorney

Being injured or losing a loved one in a pedestrian accident is an experience no one should have to go through. Unfortunately, accidents can happen when drivers are negligent.

If you are ever injured or lose a loved one in a pedestrian accident in Shelby, North Carolina, you may deserve compensation for your losses. Review your case with a Shelby, NC pedestrian accident attorney at Brown Moore & Associates, PLLC to discuss how we can help you pursue justice.

How a Shelby, NC Pedestrian Accident May Affect Your Life

Pedestrian accidents have the potential to cause very significant harm to victims. Pedestrians don’t have the metal frame of an enclosed vehicle to offer at least some degree of protection when they are involved in accidents. Thus, their chances of being seriously injured when they are struck by vehicles is quite high.

The injuries you may sustain as a result of being involved in a pedestrian accident will certainly require medical treatment. You may not be prepared to cover the cost of such treatment. It’s also possible your injuries will limit your mobility, whether temporarily or permanently. This can prevent you from working and earning a living, participating in activities you once found enjoyable, and even taking care of your own daily needs.

Some pedestrian accidents also result in the death of victims. Their loved ones must thus cope with their absence as a result.

When pedestrian accidents occur because a driver was negligent, victims deserve to receive compensation for these losses. If you’ve sustained losses due to a pedestrian accident, the team at our Shelby, NC pedestrian accident law firm is prepared to help you fight for the full amount of compensation you may deserve.

Common Causes of Shelby, NC Pedestrian Accidents

Again, it’s often the case that pedestrian accidents are the result of a motorist’s negligence. The following behaviors may put pedestrians at risk:

  • Speeding
  • Driving while under the influence of drugs and/or alcohol
  • Distracted driving, which is unfortunately beginning to account for more and more pedestrian accidents as drivers are using their smartphones or other devices when they should be paying attention to the road
  • Drowsy driving, which can be almost as dangerous as drunk driving in some cases
  • Failure to yield the right of way
  • Running red lights or otherwise ignoring traffic signs and signals

Showing you deserve to be compensated after a pedestrian accident requires gathering evidence demonstrating that your accident would not have occurred had a driver or other party not been negligent in some capacity. You may need to conduct a thorough investigation to gather all the necessary evidence.

Our Shelby, NC pedestrian accident lawyers have the resources, training, and experience needed to conduct such an investigation on your behalf. We will present evidence to the insurance company showing you deserve to be compensated. If the insurance company’s initial settlement offers are unreasonably low, we will negotiate for a more adequate sum.
