When motorists strike pedestrians, the consequences are often catastrophic. At the Law Office of Sean Bostic-Sealy our pedestrian accident attorneys have secured substantial compensation for victims of these devastating accidents, holding negligent drivers accountable while helping our clients rebuild their lives.
Understanding Pedestrian Accidents
Pedestrian accidents represent some of the most severe traffic incidents on our roads today. With no protection against vehicles weighing thousands of pounds, pedestrians often suffer life-altering injuries or death. Our attorneys understand the unique challenges these cases present, from proving driver negligence to documenting the full extent of catastrophic injuries.
Common Causes We Investigate
Our extensive experience has shown that pedestrian accidents often result from driver negligence. We thoroughly investigate all contributing factors, including distracted driving, such as texting or using mobile devices while behind the wheel. Speeding plays a significant role, as it reduces a driver's reaction time and increases impact severity. Failure to yield at crosswalks, running red lights or stop signs, and driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs are other common causes we encounter. We also examine cases involving poor visibility, inadequate street lighting, and dangerous road designs that put pedestrians at risk.
Catastrophic Injuries
Pedestrian accidents frequently result in severe injuries that require extensive medical treatment and long-term care. Our firm has extensive experience representing victims who have suffered:
Traumatic Brain Injuries
These life-altering injuries can affect cognitive function, personality, and ability to perform daily tasks. We work with medical experts to document the full impact of brain injuries and secure compensation for long-term care needs.
Spinal Cord Injuries
When pedestrians suffer spinal cord damage, they may face partial or complete paralysis. We fight for compensation that covers medical equipment, home modifications, and lifetime care requirements.
Multiple Fractures & Crush Injuries
The force of vehicle impact often causes multiple broken bones and severe crush injuries. We ensure our clients receive compensation for all necessary surgeries, rehabilitation, and potential future complications.
Internal Organ Damage
These serious injuries may not be immediately apparent but can have life-threatening consequences. Our team works with medical professionals to identify and document all internal injuries.
