Hopkinsville Pedestrian Accident Lawyer

The types and amounts of compensation you receive may depend on, among other things, what kinds of losses you sustained. In the past, we have sought compensation like the following for our pedestrian accident clients:

• Pain and suffering, for the physical and emotional toll the accident has taken on your health
• Disability, for the loss of physical and intellectual capabilities that you once enjoyed
• Scarring, for any permanent marks left behind by the injuries themselves (e.g., severe road rash) or necessary treatments you received (e.g., surgery)
• Medical bills, for the present and future cost of dealing with your injuries
• Loss of wages, for the income you expected to earn but had to give up when you were hospitalized or ordered to recuperate at home

If your family lost a loved one in a pedestrian accident, you can pursue a wrongful death case. Our wrongful death lawyers can help you get compensation for funeral and burial costs, as well as your loved one’s lost wages and any medical expenses prior to their passing. Your family may also qualify to recover noneconomic losses as you grieve your loved one’s loss.

In one case, a man was struck by a vehicle in a parking lot on Fort Campbell Blvd in Hopkinsville. And in another tragic case, a man died after being struck by a semi-truck on the Eagle Way Bypass.
