South Surrey Lawyers for Victims of Crosswalk Accidents
Crosswalks are designed to give pedestrians the right of way when crossing busy streets. Even without the benefit of marked crosswalks or traffic signals, every motorist has the responsibility to drive safely and respect pedestrians' rights. When they do not, and a serious accident occurs, pedestrians may be entitled to compensation from at-fault or partially at-fault drivers for medical expenses and lost income.
If you or a family member was involved in a pedestrian accident, the law firm of Hambrook & Company will assist you in seeking compensation for your personal injuries. Since 1966, the firm has represented individuals throughout Surrey and the Greater Vancouver Area, and its lawyers provide diligent, client-oriented service.
Injuries sustained by a pedestrian vary depending on several factors, such as the speed at which the vehicle was travelling or where the accident occurred. Common injuries include:
- Soft tissue injuries
- Bone fractures
- Spinal cord injuries
- Head or brain injuries
Handling Settlement Offers From ICBC
Obtaining compensation from at-fault motorists for your medical expenses or lost income usually involves the ICBC. As a pedestrian accident victim, you may be contacted by an ICBC representative with a settlement offer, which is paid from an at-fault or partially at-fault motorist's third-party liability coverage. Once a claim is settled, however, you cannot seek further compensation should complications arise in the future.
As your advocate, personal injury lawyer Brent Hambrook will review your medical reports and help you determine the appropriate steps to obtain the maximum compensation to which you may be entitled. He will collaborate with leading medical specialists to determine the full impact of your injuries, both now and in the future, to substantiate your claim. He will then negotiate with insurance adjusters on your behalf to ensure you receive the financial and medical support you may need.
