If you have suffered an injury as a pedestrian in Gwinnett County, you can make a claim for monetary compensation and damages by way of a settlement or a lawsuit. To be eligible to recover damages, you are responsible for proving all of the legal elements of your claim.
You must show, by a preponderance of evidence, that another person or entity acted unreasonably under the circumstances, resulting in the pedestrian accident that caused your injuries. For example, a motor vehicle driver may have been speeding or distracted, negligently striking you and causing you to suffer severe injuries as a result.
You can pursue and recover damages from the negligent person, entity, or their insurance company in those instances. Specifically, you can make a claim for all of your related medical costs, including treatment bills, surgical bills, medication bills, and physical therapy bills.
You can also file a claim for lost wages for any time that you had to miss from work as a result of the injuries you suffered in your pedestrian accident. If your injuries were so severe that you had to switch to a job with lighter duties or switch careers altogether, then you can make a loss of earning capacity claim.
In addition, you can pursue and recover monetary compensation for all of the pain, suffering, mental distress, and anguish that were associated with your injuries. If your injuries prevent you from using a particular body part or left you with a permanent disability, you can also seek monetary compensation for those damages.
