Pedestrian Accident Lawyers in Minneapolis

Pursue Damages that Facilitate Your Recovery

Despite countless awareness campaigns and desperate legislative measures, the number of pedestrian fatalities across the United States continues to increase each year. In fact, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Governors Highway Safety Association (GHSA), there were over 6,000 pedestrian fatalities in 2017 and over 125,000 reported injuries.

Unfortunately, it can be difficult to determine fault in a pedestrian injury case because liability is often shared between drivers and pedestrians. If you’ve sustained injuries due to the negligent actions of a driver, it’s imperative that you seek experienced legal representation immediately. At Lowe Law Group, our Minneapolis pedestrian accident attorneys can maximize your claim and negotiate with insurance companies on your behalf.

Determining Negligence

The success of your case depends on your legal representative proving that the car driver is ultimately responsible for the accident. You need to be aware that the driver’s legal team and insurance company may try to twist the story by claiming that you were jaywalking or jumped in front of the vehicle.

Luckily, there are specific steps you can take after your accident to safeguard your claim:

1. Call 911
2. Take pictures of the vehicle and your injuries
3. Obtain the names and phone numbers of witnesses
4. Seek medical care
5. Request a copy of your medical record
6. Never speak to the rival insurance company
7. Retain the services of a pedestrian accident lawyer

If your injuries prevent you from completing any of these steps, our attorneys can assist you by compiling and examining the necessary evidence. We can use this information to develop a customized case strategy that can be presented to the court.

The court may find the driver liable if they participated in any of the following behaviors:

• Speeding
• Using a cell phone while driving
• Eating or drinking
• Falling asleep at the wheel
• Driving while intoxicated
• Applying make up

Your legal team isn’t the only party conducting an investigation. The priority of the rival insurance company is to protect their interests and save money by steadfastly defending their client. An insurance company representative may try to contact you in an attempt to undermine your claim or to offer a substandard settlement. Please note that these settlement amounts rarely cover the extent of an injury victim’s medical expenses and financial needs. At Lowe Law group, we can represent your case, negotiate with the insurance companies, and ensure that you receive fair compensation.
