How long does it take to settle a pedestrian accident?
The time it takes to settle a pedestrian accident varies based on the complexity of the case. When liability is clear and injuries are minor, settlements may be reached within a few weeks to a few months. Cases with more serious injuries, disputed fault, or extended negotiations with insurance companies often take several months to a year. If liability is contested, injuries are severe, or the case goes to trial, resolution can take a year or longer.
What happens if a pedestrian causes an accident?
In cases where the pedestrian’s actions were reckless or criminal such as walking while intoxicated, they could face criminal charges in addition to civil liability. These accidents can be really complex, so it’s important to consult with a Postman Law pedestrian accident attorney to understand liability, insurance coverage, and your legal options.
What are the most common injuries in a pedestrian accident?
