This is accomplished by holding the individual or company responsible for what they did (or failed to do) that resulted in a brain injury. This may be an obstetrician who delayed a C-section, resulting in an infant’s brain damage. It may be a drunk driver who ran a red light and struck a pedestrian.

Jackson Pedestrian Accident Attorneys Pedestrian Injury Lawyers in Jackson, MS According to NHTSA figures, over 10% of all traffic fatalities in the country are pedestrians. While our national infrastructure was built for car travel, people mustn't forget that pedestrians have as much right to safe travel as trucks and cars. However, cars and other motorists are obligated to make sure they're watching out for pedestrians—after all, pedestrians have little hope of walking away from a collision unscathed. The Jackson pedestrian injury attorneys at Funderburg, Sessums & Peterson, PLLC have more than 90 years of experience advocating for people who have been injured or killed in pedestrian accidents. Our firm's philosophy is simple: once an attorney takes your case, they devote all of their time and effort to getting everything you need. Every lawyer—even founding partners—are the main point of contact for each case. That way, you'll always have a direct line to whomever has your future in their hands. Get a free consultation today over the phone or in person. Call (601) 355-5200 to learn your legal options. Who Is Most at Risk in a Pedestrian Accident? In most cases, the victims are children and the elderly, as they're most likely to be struck by cars; the CDC reports that 1 in 5 pedestrian fatalities happen to people 65 years or older, and an even larger share were between 5 and 15 years old. Pedestrians who walk to work or walk in high-traffic areas were also at higher risk of being struck by a vehicle. Perhaps the most common pedestrian accident cause, however, is alcohol. Drunk driving plays a role in nearly half of all traffic crashes, according to the CDC. Prosecuting drunk drivers is one way to ensure certain drivers never put pedestrians at risk ever again. The rise of smartphones and large screen displays have also led to more pedestrian deaths due to distraction. Common tips for pedestrians to ensure visibility include: Bright or reflective clothing Carrying a flashlight Only using crosswalks Adhering to signs and signals Staying on the sidewalk when possible Failure to do these things does not disqualify you from seeking compensation. Ultimately, pedestrians have right-of-way, and motorists are obligated to avoid hitting pedestrians in all contexts and at all times. Let our firm investigate what happened to you.

SEND INFORMATION Thanks for submitting! Jackson Spine Injury Attorneys We've Recovered Millions for Our Clients Motor vehicle accidents, workplace injuries, slip and falls —all of these have one injury in common: spinal cord damage. Spinal cord damage leads to partial or total paralysis in our arms, legs, or our entire bodies, robbing us of our ability to work or enjoy our lives the same way ever again. On top of that, spine injuries cost millions of dollars over the course of a patient’s life, from initial hospitalization to rehab to home accommodations. At Funderburg, Sessums & Peterson, PLLC, our Jackson spinal injury lawyers advocate for people who’ve suffered loss of mobility due to negligence. We fight to recover what they need most: money for medical bills, lost wages, and future costs. Our team has nearly a century of combined experience, and as a result, we’re the firm judges and other attorneys turn to when they need an injury advocate. It all starts with a free consultation. Get a same-day free consultation: call (601) 355-5200 to learn your options. The Cost of Spinal Cord Injuries About a third of all spinal cord injuries are either complete paraplegia or complete tetraplegia. The average cost of care for complete paraplegia—the most 'affordable' of the two—is over half a million dollars for the first year, and about $75,000 for every year after that. When people lose the use of their legs, it's physically and financially devastating. Most families don't have enough money to pay for an entire salary's worth of care every year, much less half a million in bills upfront. That's why it's vital for families to call us as soon as possible after an accident. Get Started On Your Case Today Unlike other firms, your case will be handled directly by your attorney. Our firm's philosophy is that when you hire an attorney, you deserve to hear from them directly about your case at all times.
