Seeking Compensation for You
Pedestrians are at high risk when it comes to motor vehicles, as the average car weighs about 4,000 pounds. The impact of an auto collision with a human body results in serious, if not, fatal injuries. In these cases, the stakes are high, for the injured person has medical bills to pay and no income while hospitalized. Talk to an attorney from the Law Offices of Thomas E. Porzio about your legal rights.
In civil court, an individual has the option of seeking compensation for injuries. The party who is at fault is required to pay toward the cost of injuries and losses from the accident. Often, an insurance company makes an offer before the case goes to court. However, it is often true that those who settle out of court receive less money. For sound advice about your options, turn to our pedestrian accident lawyer.
