Daryl Porter Jr. and Everett Pepper cover some daunting topics from recent news outlets, and how they could relate to personal injury.
PEDESTRIAN ACCIDENTS
In this episode, Everett Pepper and Daryl Porter Jr from Pepper & Odom discuss an incident occurring in Jones County, Mississippi involving a girl being hit by a car in an apartment complex. News outlets reported her injuries as critical, and that she was on her way to the University of Mississippi Medical Center by airlift.
Usually, pedestrian accidents, especially those involving children, cause severe, catastrophic injuries. Catastrophic injuries have major effects on those who suffer from them.
Unfortunately, the long-term effects of catastrophic injuries can weigh heavily on a person and their family. Catastrophic injuries have devastating physical, emotional and financial impacts on victims and their families.
At Pepper & Odom Law Firm, we’ve seen how severe this can be on our clients. Medical expenses, pain and suffering and other losses are recoverable as compensation.
However, doing so usually requires an experienced attorney that focuses on these types of cases. The two attorneys discuss how negligence is the key element to most of these cases that lead to pedestrian accidents.
Many things can cause a driver to be negligence, however, that does not justify injuring or fatally harming someone.
Some pedestrian accidents can be fatal, whereas with proof of negligence, a family could seek compensation for the death of their family member. In order to secure a claim and build a solid case, you will need legal representation.
DID YOU KNOW?
Pedestrian accidents involving a motor vehicle usually have very devastating outcomes. According to GHSA’s annual report on preliminary data of pedestrian traffic fatalities in 2021, the number of pedestrian accidents resulting in a person losing their life was 7,485.
Most of those deaths result from pedestrian accidents happening at night in more urban areas. In order to prevent and decrease the amount of these incidents is to make others aware of what can cause pedestrian accidents.
