Pedestrian Accident

Comprehensive Support for Michigan Pedestrian Accidents

Pedestrian accidents encompass a wide range of circumstances and causes, each requiring a thorough understanding of legal complexities and dedicated representation. At Marko Law Firm, we recognize the diverse factors that can contribute to pedestrian accidents and the challenges they pose for victims seeking justice. Our experienced team of Michigan pedestrian accident lawyers is committed to providing unwavering support and personalized advocacy to those affected by these incidents.

Types of Pedestrian Accidents and Contributing Factors

Pedestrian accidents can arise from various situations and forms of negligence, including but not limited to:

  • Car accidents involving reckless driving, speeding, or distracted driving
  • Failure to yield right of way to pedestrians
  • Disobeying traffic signals, stop signs, or red lights
  • Driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol
  • Hazardous conditions on walkways or property
  • Slip and fall incidents on sidewalks, storefronts, or construction sites

These accidents can result in a wide range of injuries, such as fractures, sprains, traumatic brain injuries, neck and back injuries, and more. Pedestrians are particularly vulnerable to severe harm due to their limited protection, often resulting in catastrophic injuries with long-term or lifelong consequences.

Navigating the Legal Pathway for Pedestrian Accidents

Facing the aftermath of a pedestrian accident can have a profound impact on victims and their families, causing physical, emotional, and financial hardships. At Marko Law Firm, we are dedicated to holding at-fault parties accountable for the damages they have caused. Recoverable damages in pedestrian accident cases may encompass:

  • Compensation for pain and suffering
  • Coverage of medical expenses
  • Future medical costs
  • Lost income and future wages
  • Emotional distress and mental anguish

Understanding Pedestrian Accident Settlements in Michigan

Pedestrian accidents vary widely, making it challenging to predict the exact value of a pedestrian's claim in Michigan. Several key factors significantly impact the settlement value of these cases, influenced by Michigan laws and regulations. These factors include:

  1. Severity of Injuries: The nature and extent of the pedestrian's injuries play a crucial role in determining the settlement amount. Serious injuries generally lead to higher compensation.
  1. Fault for the Accident: Contrary to common assumptions, fault isn't always solely attributed to the driver in car-pedestrian accidents. Determining fault is essential, as the responsible party typically bears the financial burden of the losses.
  1. Available Insurance Coverage: Michigan auto insurance law requires drivers to carry a minimum amount of liability insurance to cover injuries and property damage caused on the road. However, policy limits can impact the total compensation available to the injured pedestrian.

Pedestrian injuries are evaluated based on various factors, including:

  • The extent and duration of medical treatment
  • Total past and future medical expenses
  • Long-term or permanent effects of the injuries
  • Impact on daily activities and work

Proving liability in pedestrian accident cases demands meticulous investigation and expert guidance. All road users, including pedestrians and drivers, are expected to adhere to traffic laws and exercise caution. Negligence can be proven through evidence such as police reports, photos, surveillance footage, and witness statements.

In cases where the pedestrian shares blame or the fault picture is unclear, the value of the claim may be reduced. It's important to note that Michigan's comparative negligence laws may impact the final settlement amount, depending on the percentage of fault assigned to each party.
