NEED A PEDESTRIAN ACCIDENT LAWYER?

Firstly, a pedestrian accident lawyer will help you make sense of the overwhelming insurance claims process. Handling this on your own is confusing, time-consuming and stressful. Ideally, you should be prioritizing rest and recovery following a serious pedestrian accident. When you work with De Rose Lawyers, you get the added peace of mind that we are fighting for your rights on your behalf. Insurance companies are notoriously difficult to deal with. Therefore, it’s recommended that you let a highly experienced pedestrian accident lawyer handle the complications of your insurance claim while you focus on getting better.

Wondering how long does a pedestrian accident settlement take? To sum up, every pedestrian accident and personal injury claim is as unique as the individuals involved. Therefore, it’s difficult to provide a realistic timeline for your case right off the bat. To give you some idea however, the majority of personal injury claims take approximately 1.5 to 2.5 years to reach an agreeable settlement, longer for a verdict in court. As a general rule of thumb, the more catastrophic and complex the injury, the longer the litigation process is in general. This is another reason why hiring an experienced pedestrian accident law team like De Rose is your best route forward.

In the event that you were injured in a car accident and the drivers involved don’t have automobile insurance, you may be eligible for compensation from the Motor Vehicle Accident Claims Fund. In Ontario, it is illegal to drive a motor vehicle without having insurance. Unfortunately, that doesn’t stop all non-insured drivers from getting behind the wheel. The Motor Vehicle Accident Claims Fund was established to act as a last resort for people injured in an accident where insurance isn’t available.

Wondering what are the typical pedestrian accident settlement amounts? Again, this is a difficult question to answer without knowing the specifics relating to your individual pedestrian accident. Ultimately, settlement amounts will mostly be based on the seriousness of the injury. Secondly, the amount of available insurance coverage is another big factor that determines how much your case will settle for. Hiring a pedestrian accident lawyer ensures you have someone researching all of the insurance coverage options available to you.
