Boston Pedestrian Accident Attorneys

Pedestrian accidents are an unfortunate fact of life in our state.  Especially in large cities, such as Boston and surrounding areas, where pedestrians are all around, these accidents occur frequently.  In heavily congested cities and towns, it is extremely important for drivers to use due caution when approaching an area frequented by pedestrians.  Similarly, pedestrians must make sure that they are always following all traffic laws and ordinances for their own safety.  When a driver fails to use the proper care to ensure the safety of pedestrians and an accident results, the driver may be held civilly liable for their actions which led to the accident.  In personal injury law, this is a concept known as negligence.

If a pedestrian is injured due to the negligence another, the pedestrian can recover personal injuries suffered as a result, including medical bills, out of pocket expenses, lost wages as well as pain and suffering.  These cases are complicated, however and require assistance from a lawyer to ensure they are properly handled.  If you find yourself in this situation, you need an experienced personal injury attorney to help walk you through your case.
