Pedestrian accidents can be serious auto accident cases. These pedestrian accidents require special expertise from a Michigan pedestrian accident lawyer.
Thousands of pedestrians are killed in traffic accidents every year, and another tens of thousands are injured. Children and the elderly are especially likely to be the victims of a pedestrian accident. When walkers have run ins with motor vehicles it can cause serious injuries, and even death.
No Fault Benefits
Once the right insurance provider is identified, victims of pedestrian accidents are entitled to several no fault benefits:
•All medical expenses related to the accident.
•Lost wages equal to up to 85% of the victim’s salary for three years.
•Attendant care and accessibility modification expenses resulting from the accident.
Pedestrians will have to file an accident claim with the proper insurance agency to get these expenses covered. That is why it is so important to keep careful records of all medical expenses after a crash. Anything from major surgery, to therapeutic massage, to the mileage it takes to get there could be recovered, but only if you can provide proof of the expense and its relationship to the injury.
