Your Walkway Accident Is Worth The Fight

While we can rely on cars, ride shares, and public transportation to get around, walking is still part of the journey. Sometimes, it is simply not possible to avoid a specific walkway or sidewalk to get to your intended destination.

As cautious as pedestrians may be, many people experience walking-related accidents that result in serious injuries. Tripping while walking may seem like nothing more than an everyday occurrence, but the sidewalk and parking lot injuries are often the result of neglected safety.

Depending on the cause of your accident, there may have been a responsible party who failed to ensure your safe walking experience.

If you’ve been injured in a sidewalk accident, you may be entitled to recover various types of damages. These damages can help compensate for the financial, physical, and emotional impact of your injuries. Here are the common types of damages you can recover:

1. Medical Expenses:

2. Lost Wages:

3. Pain and Suffering:

4. Loss of Enjoyment of Life:

5. Disability and Disfigurement:

6. Loss of Consortium:

7. Out-of-Pocket Expenses:

8. Rehabilitation and Therapy Costs:

9. Property Damage:

10. Punitive Damages:

Recovering these damages typically involves negotiating with insurance companies or pursuing a legal claim against the responsible party, such as the property owner or municipality responsible for maintaining the sidewalk. An experienced personal injury attorney can help you navigate this process and ensure you receive the compensation you deserve.

To have your accident properly assessed, you should contact an experienced personal injury attorney who can help you determine liability in your accident and help you recover any compensation you may be owed.
