Pedestrian Accidents in New Jersey
Pedestrian crashes often result
in serious injuries due to the vulnerability of people on foot. When struck by a vehicle, victims may suffer fractures, traumatic injuries, internal harm, or long-lasting mobility issues. Even crashes at low speeds can cause significant medical complications and emotional trauma.
In New Jersey, injured pedestrians and their families may be eligible to pursue compensation after a crash. Depending on the facts of the case, compensation may include:
- Medical expenses: Treatment for injuries such as fractures or soft tissue damage may require emergency care, hospitalization, diagnostic imaging, physical therapy, and follow-up care.
- Lost wages: Serious injuries may prevent victims from working for days, weeks, or longer. Compensation can help cover lost income during recovery.
- Loss of earning capacity: If injuries result in long-term limitations, victims may be unable to return to their previous job or may only be able to work in a reduced capacity.
- Pain and suffering: Pedestrian collisions often cause lasting physical pain, emotional hardship, and psychological distress. Compensation may address these non-economic damages.
- Long-term care: Severe injuries can require rehabilitation, assistive devices, mobility support, or ongoing medical treatment.
Because these claims can be complex, speaking with a pedestrian accident lawyer can help injured victims understand their legal options, gather evidence, and pursue the financial support needed for recovery.
