Some common expenses that pedestrians may face after an accident include ambulance fees, emergency room visits, diagnostic tests, surgeries, rehabilitation, and ongoing medical care. Additionally, if an injured pedestrian requires assistive devices, such as wheelchairs or crutches, or needs long-term care, the costs can accumulate significantly. 

Pedestrian accidents are quite intense, to the point where rehab costs are billed to the pedestrians. We can help get these expenses bundled into a settlement.  
After an accident, injured pedestrians might need different types of rehab services, such as physical therapy and occupational therapy. Physical therapy helps people get back their strength, movement, and ability to do things by using exercises, stretches, and special equipment. Occupational therapy helps people learn to do everyday tasks again, like getting dressed, cooking, and taking care of themselves. If someone has a brain injury or damage to their face, they might need speech therapy to help with talking and cognitive therapy to help with thinking, remembering, and solving problems. 
Injured pedestrians may need tools like wheelchairs, crutches, or prosthetics to help them move around and be independent. If their injuries are really bad, they might need changes to their homes, like ramps, wider doorways, or special bathroom equipment, so they can live comfortably. In the most serious cases, people might need long-term help from professionals, like caregivers at home or staff at care facilities, to take care of daily tasks and medical needs. 

Depending on the severity of the injuries sustained, the victim may be temporarily or permanently unable to work. This can result in lost wages and a reduced earning capacity. In some cases, a pedestrian may also lose their job due to extended absences or the inability to perform their duties because of their injuries. Our team works to recover that lost income.  

A pedestrian hit by a car might face disability or disfigurement expenses due to their injuries. These costs can come from ongoing medical care, rehabilitation, assistive devices, and changes to their living space or vehicle. For example, a pedestrian might need long-term medical care, like medications, doctor visits, and surgeries. They might also need rehabilitation services like physical, occupational, or speech therapy to help them adapt to their new situation. 
Other expenses include assistive devices, such as wheelchairs, crutches, or prosthetics, which can be expensive. They might need to make changes to their home, like adding ramps or widening doorways, or modify their vehicle with special controls or lifts. A disability or disfigurement can also make it hard for them to work, leading to lost income and lower earning potential. In a personal injury claim, the pedestrian may seek compensation for non-economic damages, like pain and suffering, emotional distress, or loss of enjoyment of life, which are important but harder to measure. 

Pain and suffering refers to the non-economic damages that a victim experiences due to their injuries, such as physical pain, emotional distress, anxiety, depression, or a reduced quality of life. 
The amount of compensation for pain and suffering varies depending on the specifics of the case, the severity of the injuries, and the impact of the injuries on the victim’s life. Our attorneys work to have this added into pedestrian injury claims.
