Pedestrian injuries and fatalities occur quite frequently in the United States, with recent statistics showing that one pedestrian is killed in a traffic accident every 111 minutes. Pedestrians are at a higher risk for injury and death than any other non-occupant group involved in an auto accident. In fact, almost 90% of non-occupant fatalities are pedestrians, not cyclists or skateboarders. Therefore, pedestrians need to take extra caution to protect themselves from injury and death while traveling on our roads and streets. But, at times, this is not enough to keep from being involved in an accident.
Regardless of who was at fault in the accident, victims in South Carolina should seek the counsel of an experienced Columbia pedestrian accident lawyer at Sanders & Nettles. To protect your legal rights following severe injury or the wrongful death of a loved one involved in a serious motor vehicle collision, it is generally wise to consult an experienced personal injury law firm as soon as possible. Within the first week, important physical evidence can be lost, and witnesses may become hard to find.
Motor vehicle collisions cause extraordinary suffering and loss to motorists, passengers and pedestrians. Injured victims face medical bills, lost wages, pain, suffering and loss of enjoyment of life. Family members of deceased victims suffer economic loss, mental anguish and loss of companionship.
