Nashua Pedestrian Injury Attorneys: Helping Those Who Were Hit By A Car
Some of the most catastrophic injuries can happen when a vehicle collides with a pedestrian. If you or a loved one was hit by a car, it is imperative to find an experienced personal injury attorney as soon as possible.
At Hamblett & Kerrigan, P.A., our personal injury lawyers have been successfully representing victims of pedestrian accidents in Nashua and throughout New Hampshire over the course of the last century.
What Are Common Pedestrian Injuries?
When a motor vehicle strikes a pedestrian, the lack of physical protection often leads to life-altering trauma. We see many different types of severe injuries when a client is hit by a car. These injuries frequently require long-term medical care and significant lifestyle adjustments. Common injuries include:
- Brain injuries: Traumatic brain injuries occur when there is extreme trauma to the head.
- Spinal cord injuries: Spinal cord damage can lead to partial or total paralysis, affecting every aspect of your daily life.
- Broken bones: Multiple bone fractures or crushed limbs often happen when the vehicle makes direct contact with your body.
- Internal bleeding: Internal organ damage and internal bleeding can be life-threatening and require immediate emergency surgery.
- Cuts and bruises: Severe road rash and deep lacerations may lead to permanent scarring and high risks of infection.
Because the accident injuries are often severe, pedestrian accident claims can be complicated. If you have been severely injured in a pedestrian accident, let our experienced lawyers handle your personal injury claims and the insurance companies so that you can focus on your health.
What Kinds Of Damages Can You Recover After Getting Hit By A Car?
Recovering from being hit by a car involves more than just physical healing. It also requires addressing the massive financial burden placed on you and your family. We help you seek compensation to cover the various losses you experience after an accident. Damages can include:
- Emergency medical costs cover your initial ambulance transport and hospital stays.
- Specialized rehabilitation services include physical, occupational and speech therapy sessions.
- Adaptive medical equipment provides for the cost of wheelchairs, ramps or other home modifications.
- Lost fringe benefits compensate you for the loss of health insurance or retirement contributions from your employer.
- Loss of consortium addresses the negative impact the injury has on your relationship with your spouse.
- Mental health counseling helps you manage the post-traumatic stress and anxiety following a collision.
Pedestrian accidents can easily be catastrophic and even fatal. Our attorneys understand the profound grief families face when an accident turns fatal. We also represent families in wrongful death claims to help them pursue justice for a loved one.
