Pedestrian Accidents

Need An Injury Attorney Iowa – Pedestrian Accident

Iowa, as all other states, has a pedestrian right of way. This means cars must yield to a crossing pedestrian on the road. Even if the pedestrian was jaywalking, the car must be attentive and be able to brake if necessary. The cause of most pedestrian accidents occurs when the motorist does not pay attention to crossing pedestrians at an intersection. Many drivers make their right-hand turns as a pedestrian is crossing from their left. The law requires the motorist to wait until all pedestrians are clear from the intersection. Not knowing the law is no excuse, especially when it comes to driving. While the motorists may be reprimanded by the law by losing their driving privileges or even face criminal prosecution, this does little to help the victim.

The victim of a pedestrian accident can suffer severe injuries. A person being hit by a car is 3 times more deadly than a rider being hit by another car. The surviving pedestrian accident victim can suffer from broken bones or loss of limbs. There are also unseen injuries such as brain trauma which can lead to erratic mood swings long after the accident. All of these injuries can cause the victim to lead a less than full life. Seeking compensation for the victim can be difficult.

Rarely does the victim have a professional speaking on their behalf. When the victim begins to file the claim for compensation with the driver’s insurance, they can find they are also the victim of a large bureaucracy which is not looking after their best interest. Anything you say to an insurance company can be used to reduce or refute your claim. The best strategy is to discuss your case with a skilled personal injury attorney first.
