Recovering Medical Expenses and Treatment Costs
One of the primary concerns after a pedestrian car accident is the medical expenses associated with injuries. Medical bills can quickly pile up, especially when extensive treatment, surgeries, rehabilitation, and ongoing therapy are required. As an accident victim, you have the right to seek compensation for past, present, and future medical expenses related to your pedestrian accident injuries. Berggren & Turturice will work diligently to build a strong case and maximize your recovery.
Compensation for Lost Wages and Loss of Earning Capacity
Being injured in a pedestrian car accident can result in a significant loss of income. If your injuries prevent you from working, you may be entitled to compensation for lost wages. Furthermore, if your earning capacity has been permanently affected, you may also be eligible for compensation for the potential income you would have earned in the future. Our experienced attorneys will work with economic experts to assess and quantify your financial losses, ensuring you are fairly compensated.
Pain and Suffering Damages
Physical injuries caused by a pedestrian car accident can lead to immense pain and suffering, affecting your overall quality of life. New Jersey law recognizes the right of accident victims to seek compensation for the emotional distress, pain, and suffering they have endured. Determining the value of pain and suffering can be complex, but our skilled legal team will carefully evaluate the extent of your injuries, consult with medical professionals, and utilize their expertise to fight for fair compensation for your pain and suffering.
Loss of Enjoyment of Life
When you are injured in a pedestrian car accident, your life may drastically change. Activities you once enjoyed might not be possible anymore, leading to a diminished quality of life. Compensation for loss of enjoyment of life aims to acknowledge the impact the accident has had on your ability to engage in activities, hobbies, and the overall enjoyment of life. Our compassionate attorneys will strive to ensure your loss is taken into account when seeking just compensation.
Wrongful Death Damages
Tragically, pedestrian accidents can result in fatalities. If you have lost a loved one in a pedestrian car accident, you may be eligible to pursue a wrongful death claim. This enables you to seek compensation for funeral expenses, loss of financial support, loss of companionship, and other associated damages. Our experienced attorneys are here to provide the compassionate support and legal guidance you need during this difficult time.
