We are on your side throughout the pedestrian injury process and will work with you to achieve the best possible outcome for your injuries.
Pedestrian accidents in Birmingham and the state of Alabama are on the rise. According to a recent study by the nonprofit traffic research organization TRIP, pedestrian fatalities related to traffic accidents are up 18.4% from pre-pandemic levels in 2019.
When a reckless or distracted driver operates a vehicle, that vehicle’s safety technology protects the occupants, not the pedestrians, who are simply no match for the heavy machinery.
So, if you are in an accident involving another vehicle, follow these steps immediately afterward and contact a Birmingham accident lawyer.
Before leaving the scene, a victim should call 911 to file a police report and receive emergency medical treatment.
After the medical evaluation, we strongly recommend seeking follow-up treatment, including physical and psychiatric help, depending on the injury. The documents generated from your appointments, along with a police report, will provide crucial documentation and evidence to support your case.
If you or a loved one have been struck by a vehicle and believe a third party is responsible, it is time to contact the Birmingham pedestrian lawyer best suited for your case.
Under Alabama law, you have only two years to file a claim. According to AL Code § 6-2-38, actions must be brought “within two years of such injury or death.”
DeGaris Law is here to help you navigate the potential complexities of a Birmingham pedestrian accident case and seek to bring your case to a successful conclusion.
If you believe you or a loved one are a pedestrian in an accident because of a negligent third party, call DeGaris Law at 205-575-8000, or book a free case review by one of Birmingham’s most accomplished firms online today.
