Pedestrian Safety and Legal Options After Collisions
Accidents involving pedestrians are among the most severe types of roadway incidents because individuals have no protection from the force of a vehicle. Even when the crash occurs at relatively low speeds, victims may face head injuries, fractures, internal damage, and long rehabilitation periods. Beyond physical harm, emotional distress and financial strain from medical expenses and missed work often add to the hardship.
In Utah, pedestrians injured in traffic accidents caused by negligence have the right to pursue compensation. An experienced pedestrian accident lawyer can help victims recover damages for hospital bills, ongoing therapy, lost wages, and pain and suffering. Legal guidance is especially important when dealing with insurance companies that may attempt to minimize payouts.
