Pedestrian Accidents in Delaware 
Pedestrian accidents can lead to serious and life-altering injuries for victims when they manage to survive. A pedestrian has little protection from the impact of a crash, and most pedestrian collisions take place very suddenly and unexpectedly. Typically, pedestrian collisions can lead to major injuries, including broken bones, head trauma, soft tissue injuries, neck and spinal cord trauma, and more. The recovery period from these injuries is typically long and medical bills can become extremely costly.
In the aftermath of a pedestrian accident, it is important to know your legal rights. If the crash was not your fault, you could be entitled to compensation for your injuries. This includes your pain and suffering, lost wages, medical bills, and potentially more. The damages caused by a pedestrian accident can be substantial, so you should seek an aggressive and effective attorney to protect you. Before you speak with an insurance adjuster, you should have legal counsel who can advocate on your behalf.
