What Compensation Can I Recover After a Pedestrian Accident?
After a pedestrian accident, understanding the types of compensation you may be entitled to can be essential for addressing medical expenses, lost wages, and other damages. Victims often face significant financial burdens alongside their physical and emotional recovery. Knowing what compensation you can recover can help you navigate the aftermath of the accident more effectively and ensure you receive the support you need to rebuild your life:
- Economic damages: Medical expenses, lost wages, property damage
- Non-Economic damages: Pain and suffering, loss of consortium
Punitive damages are another type of compensation possibly available, but they are reserved for pedestrian crosswalk accident cases involving a defendant (at-fault party) who caused intentional harm or acted with a complete and reckless disregard for the safety of others.
