If you're involved in a car accident that involves a pedestrian, it can be a difficult and overwhelming experience. You're dealing with the physical and emotional fallout of the accident, as well as the legal side of things. Unfortunately, accidents involving pedestrians are all too common; according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), there were more than 6,000 pedestrian fatalities in the country in 2019. In this kind of situation, it's important to have a car accident attorney on your side to help you navigate the legal process and make sure that your rights are protected.
