It is important that you are able to partner with a skilled lawyer if you or someone close to you is hurt in a pedestrian accident. 

Navigating the aftermath of a pedestrian accident can be hard.

Many drivers fail to properly share the road with people on foot and cause life-changing accidents in the process.
