The Role of a Personal Injury Attorney
An experienced personal injury attorney will understand the intricacies of the law as it pertains to jaywalking and pedestrian-vehicle accidents. They can:
- Investigate the accident and collect evidence.
- Argue against any biases or assumptions that because you were jaywalking, you are entirely at fault.
- Negotiate with insurance companies on your behalf.
- Present your case in court, if necessary.
