Reasons to Hire a Pedestrian Accident Lawyer in Gary, IN

Hiring an attorney immediately after your crash can ensure you have the answers you need to make informed decisions about all legal matters. Working with a lawyer can also improve your chances of getting maximum compensation for all the losses you sustain.  A lawyer can:
  • Help you understand what to do immediately after a crash
  • Help you avoid mistakes that could damage your claim
  • Deal with the insurance company and all legal communication
  • Find the liable party 
  • Collect evidence to prove fault
  • Track all of your losses
  • Take steps to resolve your claim
We understand that the legal system can feel overwhelming after a crash, and that’s why we’re ready to offer our guidance, experience, and resources to help resolve your claim. 

Why Pick Our Firm After a Pedestrian Crash?

Our team at Vaughan & Vaughan has spent more than a century providing personalized legal assistance to individuals injured by another person’s negligence. We believe in serving our clients and our community. We’re proud of our record of successfully resolving claims and invite everyone to go over our case results. Our experience, training, and resources allow us to secure millions in compensation for our clients regularly. Additionally, you’ll only need to pay legal fees after the resolution of your claim when you work with us because we handle pedestrian accident cases on a contingency fee basis. 

Who Has to Pay for a Pedestrian Accident?

Any parties responsible for causing a pedestrian accident may have to cover the losses resulting from the crash. In many cases, our firm goes after motorists who ignore the rules of the road and cause collisions. For example, you may reach out to a Gary pedestrian accident attorney from our firm if a motorist:
  • Backs up into you in a busy parking lot
  • Hits you in a parked pedestrian crossing
  • Strikes you while outside of a pedestrian crossing
We’re ready to begin an investigation into fault for your accident that can allow us to identify all potentially liable parties. Depending on your circumstances, we may focus on:
  • Visiting the scene of your pedestrian crash
  • Speaking to eyewitnesses and taking down their official statements
  • Getting a copy of the police accident report
  • Looking for videos or photos showing the collision
The professionals recommend getting help immediately after a crash because it gives your lawyer a better chance of gathering all relevant evidence and strengthening your claim. 

Funds Available After Your Pedestrian Crash

You may qualify for money to pay for all of the losses you face after a pedestrian collision. Our firm may help you pursue compensation for:

Medical Costs

Pedestrian accidents often result in catastrophic injuries, including paralysis, concussions, and broken bones. The liable party may have to pay for all of your current and future medical expenses. 

Lost Pay

You may miss a lot of days at work when recovering from a pedestrian accident. Our team can help you secure the money that you need to replace your lost wages. You may get additional money for your reduced earning potential if your crash leaves you disabled. 

Pain and Suffering

An attorney can help you secure money for the non-economic effects of an accident. These effects deal with how an accident impacts your mental and emotional well-being. For example, the responsible party may have to pay for your emotional distress and mental anguish. 

Do You Need to File a Pedestrian Accident Lawsuit?

You may not need to file a lawsuit to secure fair compensation after a pedestrian collision. Instead, an attorney may help you get the money you need through an insurance settlement.  We know how to handle negotiations with insurance companies. We can assess offers made by insurance representatives to ensure that they fairly cover your losses. If the company only makes subpar offers or even tries to blame you for your injuries, we can discuss taking your case through the civil court system to secure a verdict in your favor. 

You Can Turn to Us After a Deadly Pedestrian Crash

A Gary wrongful death lawyer from our team can provide compassionate legal assistance to your family after a fatal pedestrian collision. We take charge and address all legal matters, giving you the time you need to focus on the emotional needs of your family. We understand how to handle wrongful death claims in Indiana and can explain your family’s options. While a legal claim cannot bring back a family member, it can help you hold the liable party accountable, potentially giving your family a sense of closure.

I have been involved in a couple accidents that havent been my fault. My other attorney was horrible...he never called back, never explained anything. If you asked questions, he would make me feel as if I were incompetent. Elizabeth is amazing! She goes above and beyond to make sure to answer any questions and to follow up on everything! Elizabeth always calls or emails back typically the same day. More times than not, she will get back in just an hour or less of leaving a message. I know I'm not their only client, but the way I am treated, makes me feel as if I am. I knew my previous attorney was horrible by the end of it all, but didnt realize just how horrible until I hired Vaughan and Vaughan.

I was involved in my first serious car accident and didn't know what to do. The other party had admitted fault and their insurance company wanted to offer me a very low dollar amount to settle. When I sensed that something was amiss, I immediately called Mr. Vaughn at Vaughn & Vaughn Law Firm. He and his staff were very friendly and knowledgeable. They took me through the process step-by-step and made sure that I was comfortable and informed with all decisions made. Mr. Vaughn was not only able to address my medical, property, and personal expenses, he also considered the physical long-term effects of my health as a result of this accident. I was able to settle for a much higher dollar amount that they initially offered. I would highly recommend his services to anyone. If he cannot help you, he will refer you to someone who can. As his firm truly believes, once you hire the firm of Vaughn & Vaughn, you are a part of the family.
