A Settlement Can Make Your Life Easier as You Recover From the Collision

The driver who hit you has caused significant, perhaps irreversible injuries and pain, all because they failed to follow the law. The liable party should have to pay for your losses, not you. Here are just a few of the damages you could be entitled to if you were injured as a pedestrian.

Past and Future Medical Expenses

Pedestrians have no protection against a collision with large, heavy motor vehicles. If your injuries required any sort of professional treatment—including surgery, diagnostic tests, hospital stays, and home care—your personal injury lawyer can push the liable party’s insurer to cover those costs.

Loss of Wages and Earning Capacity

Missing even a single day of work can be a hardship. Having to retire early or permanently cut back on working hours can mean a radical adjustment for you and your family.

You can continue to support your loved ones by seeking a settlement that includes compensation for all lost income and lost earning potential. This also includes lost job benefits.

Non-economic Damages

Page 31 of a report from the Wisconsin Department of Transportation indicates that, in 2024 alone, “suspected serious injuries” caused by motor vehicle accidents cost victims over half a billion dollars in economic damages like those listed above. While this number is striking, it does not reflect the full cost of these types of accidents.

Your physical and emotional distress is just as important as your financial losses. Our law firm partners can take your pain and suffering, disabling injuries, scarring, loss of consortium, and lost quality of life into account as they pursue your settlement.

How Insurance Companies Try to Undermine Cases Like Yours

Unfortunately, insurance companies frequently try to undermine personal injury cases so they do not have to pay as much in compensation. We urge you to be extremely careful during any interactions with the insurer and to hire a lawyer to deal with them on your behalf.

Here are just a few of the warning signs that could indicate the insurer is attempting to shortchange you:

• They ask for a recorded statement. They only want this statement so they can search for alleged inconsistencies in your story.
• They unfairly accuse you of negligence. Even if you know you followed the law, the insurer might try to claim you did not and are therefore responsible for your own injuries.
• They offer a quick settlement. Pushing you to settle quickly could mean the offer is not a fair one and that they do not want your lawyer to have a chance to review it.

The insurance company does not have your best interests at heart, but The Goldwater Law Firm and our law firm partners do. You can trust our co-counsel to handle all communications with the insurer on your behalf so you do not have to worry about it.
