Pedestrian Accident Lawyer Las Vegas
Pedestrian safety is a two-way street.
“My elderly brother Joe, a widower, was knocked down by a passing car outside the nursing home where he lives. The driver stopped and called the emergency services which took my brother to the hospital. Joe had injured his head and spine and spent almost a month in the hospital, but the extent of his injuries was not fully investigated and he did not have an aftercare plan in place when he returned to the home."
Our lawyers arranged for Joe to have additional injury assessment by a neurologist, and worked with experts to prepare an accident reconstruction report. The driver’s insurance company made an initial offer of settlement which was inadequate, but our attorney negotiated patiently with them for several months and finally secured a settlement that was sufficient to cover my brother’s ongoing medical expenses, all without the stress and risk of a court trial.
My brother Joe is permanently disabled and has ongoing health problems, but our family at least has the comfort of knowing he will be properly cared for in his remaining years.”
