Walking through the busy streets of Miami is a great way to “go green” and enjoy the sunshine, but distracted drivers can make your journey perilous. If you’ve been struck by another car while walking in Miami, you need the services of an experienced Miami pedestrian accident lawyer.
I've Been Hit By a Vehicle While Walking – Now What?
Your first thought after being in an accident while you are walking is probably wondering how badly you’re injured. Accidents of this nature can be complex, and sometimes injuries don’t always show up right away. Specialist health care, people experienced in diagnosing injuries from an accident, is usually needed to make sure that you don’t have a neck or spine injury that can cause you problems down the line.
388CEDA Is On Your Side
At 388CEDA, we’re a comprehensive accident care clinic, staffed with professionals who can examine you, including X-rays, and document the extent of your pedestrian accident injuries. Our offices also include a surgical clinic, where trained experts can help re-set broken bones, complete complex orthopedic surgery, and take care of patching you up after an accident.
What you may not realize is that, if you’ve been struck by a driver while walking, you’re entitled to compensation for your injuries, including hospital bills, surgery and recovery, physical therapy, and any aftercare, such as a chiropractor, to help you recover from the wreck and regain your mobility.
Do I Need a Lawyer?
If you’ve been injured as a pedestrian, then yes, you probably need a personal injury attorney and an aggressive one that knows how insurance companies work and how to properly file your claim. This includes documented proof of which injuries were a result of the accident and the medical care you need. Insurance companies don’t like to pay large settlements, and having a lawyer on your side is important. If you don’t have a lawyer, the patient care team at 388CEDA can refer you to one of the top lawyers in Miami, ones that understand what insurance companies need to fairly settle your claim and get your bills covered.
