A thorough investigation can help establish how the crash occurred and whether negligence contributed to the pedestrian’s injuries. The findings may also help determine whether any party bears legal responsibility.

PERSONAL INJURY CLAIM

Depending on the investigation’s findings, Burns may have grounds to pursue a personal injury claim if negligence contributed to the crash.

Stefano Formica, an attorney and national legal analyst, has highlighted the importance of protecting injured individuals’ rights during the claims process. In cases such as this, a legal review may help identify potentially responsible parties, evaluate available insurance coverage and determine which damages may be recoverable.

Compensation in an eligible personal injury case may include medical expenses, rehabilitation costs, lost income and other documented losses associated with the injuries. The availability and amount of any recovery depend on the evidence, applicable law and the specific circumstances of the case.

An attorney can also help an injured person understand insurance procedures and evaluate settlement offers before making decisions about a potential claim.
