Andrew Injury Law is here to help.

Factors That Contribute to Idaho Pedestrian Accidents

Many people’s first question after an accident is how did it happen? Many reasons can lead to collisions in Idaho. They can also occur in many places. Here are five factors that can impact a pedestrian accident in Idaho:

Distracted driving: motorists must stay alert when operating a motor vehicle. They should not text and drive or participate in other distractions. Idaho explicitly outlaws texting and driving. However, motorists can talk on the phone. Drivers can receive a citation for distracted driving.
DUI: Similar to distractions, drivers should not drink and drive. It is illegal and dangerous. Pedestrians must ask the police to conduct a breath test if they suspect the driver is impaired.
Intersections: these are supposed to be safe spaces for pedestrians to cross. When drivers fail to yield to pedestrians, .
Speeding: when a driver is speeding, they cannot slow down and react to hazards. They also have less visibility since objects are flying past. Speeding can result in drivers not seeing pedestrians and hitting them.
Crosswalk: pedestrians use crosswalks to stay safe. Drivers must ensure no one is in the crosswalk when they turn or pass through. Failure to check when turning is another reason pedestrian accidents happen.

This is not a complete list, as there are many other ways that drivers can be negligent and cause a crash. If you are injured in a collision, speak to our Idaho pedestrian accident lawyer immediately.

Finding Who is to Blame

You might assume the answer is obvious since a driver struck you. But it is rarely that simple. When the driver is inattentive or reckless, they are negligent. Sometimes they can share liability with another party. If no one else contributed to the crash, the claim would be straightforward for the most part.

When someone else contributes to the pedestrian accident, liability becomes more complex. Due to Idaho’s comparative fault laws, liability is divided proportionally. Suppose you were jaywalking and a driver was speeding. You will share the fault, but the driver will bear a higher percentage. You can recover compensation, but your fault percentage will reduce it.

What You Can Recover From a Pedestrian Accident

The primary recovery you will seek is accident-related expenses. These are usually tied to the severity of your injuries. They will also have receipts and documentation that show these expenses. Some examples include;

Medical bills
Property damage
Lost wages
Diminished earning capacity
Medical devices

You will likely have additional expenses not listed here. On top of your daily expenses, you will also have these new expenses to worry about. The financial strain can push some people to take low settlement offers. You lose your right to pursue additional compensation when you accept an offer. Before accepting a settlement, you must wait until you complete your medical treatment and return to work and daily activities.

Idaho Pedestrians Can Suffer Devastating Injuries

Pedestrian accidents are unpredictable, often leading to serious injury. The reason behind their severity is because of the size difference. Even at low speeds, these accidents can be deadly. Pedestrians can suffer injuries from the initial impact and being thrown several feet away. Common pedestrian injuries in Idaho include:

Broken bones
Lacerations
Loss of limb
Traumatic brain injury
Spinal cord damage
Paralysis
Disfigurement

The severity of these injuries can lead to a lifetime of pain and suffering. The top pedestrian injury lawyer Idaho has to offer knows how difficult it is to recover from these crashes. We will work with medical experts to get you the care you need. We will maximize your claim in any way we can. Contact Andrew Injury Law for a case review today.

Protecting Your Recovery After a Pedestrian Accident

Recovery encompasses many different areas. You must recover physically, financially, and legally. To recover physically, you must seek medical attention. The sooner you get a medical evaluation, the sooner you can start treatment and return to your daily life. Waiting to get medical attention can complicate your case. The insurance adjusters can argue that this delay is because you suffered an injury in another way or your injuries were not severe.

Recovering financially and legally go hand in hand. To get financial compensation, you must hold negligent parties legally accountable. You must hire an Idaho pedestrian accident lawyer to handle the legal aspect of the case. Our pedestrian injury lawyers in Idaho will handle the claims process and advise you on any offers. Andrew Injury Law is ready to go to trial if necessary.

The best way to help your claim is to document your costs. That way, you will get an accurate tally of your losses. Medical professionals must document your injuries plus the current and estimated future costs. Any receipts you have for medication, medical devices, and more should be kept to include them in your claim. Our team will review your receipts and request medical documents.

Our Idaho pedestrian accident lawyers are ready to fight for you. Negotiating with the insurance company is burdensome and challenging for injury victims. We will negotiate with the insurer to maximize your claim. There is no risk or obligation to speak to us. Andrew Injury Law works on a contingency fee basis, and we only get paid if we win your case.
