Auto Pedestrian Collision

An Auto Pedestrian car accident is vastly different than a car – on – car accident. The injuries sustained by a pedestrian following an auto – pedestrian car wreck are typically far worse than those seen in a car – on – car accident. In 2020, there were almost 5,000 auto pedestrian crashes in Texas resulting in 1,211 serious injuries and 731 fatalities. Pedestrians are at a greater risk of serious injury because the human body is not equipped with safety equipment such as seatbelts and airbags. Drivers today are more distracted (maybe hyperlink the word distracted to our distracted drivers page) than they have ever been. Unfortunately, that means the trend of auto pedestrian crashes is likely to continue If you were injured in an auto pedestrian accident and want th e compensation you deserve from the insurance company, call Perdue & Kidd .

So why do you need a lawyer?

So, you’ve been in an accident. Your phone is ringing off the hook. The insurance adjuster is offering to put money in your pocket, but it will require you to sign a release dropping all the claims you have stemming from the accident. If you have found yourself in this situation, you’re likely trying to decide whether you should hire an attorney before signing anything. The answer to that question is simple, yes. You should never sign any documents from an insurance company following personal injury without talking to a personal injury attorney. Insurance companies today are master manipulators. They have come up with very clever jingles that are in their commercials. “Like a good neighbor…” and “You’re in good hands”. These companies go out of their way to manipulate the general public into think ing they will treat you fairly. Unfortunately, the reality is that these insurance companies do not and will never have your best interest in mind. Furthermore, they are in the business of making money and the main way they do that is by denying valid clai ms or getting injured people to accept far less for their injuries than they deserve. The insurance adjuster’s job is to get you to accept as little money as possible in exchange for signing a release. The insurance companies will go out of their way to te ll you that you don’t need an attorney. They will tell you an attorney will only complicate things. That is true, an experienced personal injury attorney will complicate things but not for you as the injured person; an experienced personal injury attorney will complicate and make things difficult for the insurance adjuster. When you find yourself in a situation where you have been injured by negligence of someone else, ask yourself this: do I want the insurance company to take advantage of me? If your ans wer to that question is “no”, then you need to call a personal injury attorney who will fight to ensure that the insurance company doesn’t take advantage of you If you were injured in a c ar or commercial vehicle wreck and want the compensation you deserve from the insurance company, call Perdue & Kidd .
