Those involved in a pedestrian accident may sustain life-altering, catastrophic injuries, which can be fatal. Pedestrians are fortunate to survive when high speeds are involved. In these situations, survival may entail months or years of healing and treatment for catastrophic injuries. If you have been injured or lost a loved one in a pedestrian accident caused by a careless driver, you do not deserve the physical pain, mental anguish, and financial difficulties that frequently accompany severe injuries. The Law Office of Doug Goyen, Injury Accident Lawyers' skilled legal team has advocated for accident injury victims who have suffered a wide range of severe injuries.

At The Law Office of Doug Goyen, Injury Accident Lawyers, we help injured pedestrians understand the full extent and prognosis of their injuries so that their pedestrian accident injury claim is not undervalued by greedy and dubious insurance companies and legal defense teams.

The following are examples of common pedestrian injuries that may result in a settlement or court-awarded damages:

Brain Injuries. When a driver hits a pedestrian, the pedestrian is likely to sustain a head injury from being thrown to the pavement. If they're lucky, the damage will be limited to their scalp or face. The pedestrian is more likely to sustain a brain injury. Victims of serious pedestrian accidents are more likely to sustain moderate to severe traumatic brain injuries (TBI), which can result in permanent brain damage.

TBI victims may experience long-term effects in four different categories of brain function, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC):

Thinking/remembering. In this category, the effects of a TBI include difficulty concentrating, storing new information, and thinking logically.

Physical. Migraines, headaches, blurry vision, dizzy spells, light sensitivity, nausea, and balance issues are among the symptoms.

Emotional/mood. TBI victims may experience rage, depression, anxiety, and increased aggression.

Sleep. A TBI can result in abnormal sleep patterns such as difficulty falling asleep, sleeping for an extended period of time, and sleeping less than usual.

Injury to the Back and Neck - When you are hit by a vehicle, it is possible that your body will fly into the air and/or land in unnatural positions. The greater the force of impact in a pedestrian accident, the more likely a victim will suffer painful back injuries, such as fractured vertebrae, herniated discs, and other injuries along the spinal column. Many people who sustain back injuries require corrective surgery to relieve pain and repair the injury. However, surgery does not always result in a complete recovery. While one or more surgeries may be beneficial, many people who suffer from back pain must live with it indefinitely.

Traditional pain management techniques, in addition to causing significant discomfort, can be frightening and only provide temporary relief. Victims must receive cortisone shots on a regular basis or take highly addictive prescription painkillers, which can lead to substance abuse problems. Our legal team cannot make your pain go away, but we can fight to get you the money you need to get the treatment you deserve to help you cope with it.

Injuries to the Spinal Cord. A pedestrian who sustains a back injury in a pedestrian accident may also sustain a spinal cord injury, which is among the most expensive of all accident injuries. It is not necessary for your spinal cord to be completely severed for you to sustain a catastrophic injury. Numbness, weakness, and paralysis can result from a cut or bruise on the spinal cord. Minor injuries, on the other hand, have a good chance of healing on their own, with victims regaining all of their lost functions. When spinal cord injuries are severe, they result in permanent injury and paralysis.

The brain sends signals to nerves throughout the body via the spinal cord; when the cord is damaged, the signals do not reach their destination, resulting in function loss. The extent of loss is determined by where the injury occurs along the spinal column. Injury to the brain causes more loss, often resulting in full-body paralysis from the neck down, known as tetraplegia. When a person sustains permanent damage as a result of a spinal cord injury, they must completely change their lifestyle in order to cope with their injury and pay for expensive treatment.

Damaged pedestrians usually need to modify their homes to make them more accessible, pay for wheelchairs and other assistive devices, and they may even require assistive technology to help them communicate. At The Law Office of Doug Goyen, Injury Accident Lawyers, we understand the difficulties that a spinal cord injury can present and want to assist you in holding the driver who caused your injury accountable for his or her actions.

Amputation. When a car hits a pedestrian, the person's body is always at risk of being pinned under the car or between two cars in heavy traffic. When limbs are crushed, they stop receiving blood from the rest of the body and begin to die. This can have a negative impact on the rest of the body and result in death. When doctors are unable to save a crushed limb, they must amputate it.

Amputees experience years of physical and emotional pain as they deal with the aftermath of their injury. Amputees who have lost one or both legs must use a wheelchair and endure the arduous task of learning how to use an artificial leg. Many amputees also report experiencing phantom limb pain, which is caused by the loss of the limb; they also experience stump pain even after the wound heals.

Amputations necessitate years of physical therapy and rehabilitation, putting them on par with spinal cord injuries in terms of financial outlay. When you've had an amputation, our experienced team of pedestrian accident lawyers can fight for you to get the compensation you deserve and the treatment you require.

Other Common Injuries caused by pedestrian accidents include injuries to limbs including fractures and torn ligaments requiring surgical repair, pelvis & hip Injuries, chest and shoulder injuries, neck and whiplash injuries, and facial injuries including eye injuries.

When a reckless, careless, or negligent driver hits you and injures you, Texas law allows you to sue for damages resulting from the accident and injuries. Although each case is different, if your lawyer negotiates a reasonable settlement or the court rules in your favor, you may be entitled to compensation for the following economic and non-economic losses:

Medical expenses past and future. Ambulance and emergency services, hospitalization, diagnostic imaging, surgery, medication, and follow-up visits are all examples of medical treatment costs.

• Future medical treatment costs when a pedestrian accident results in a permanent disability that necessitates long-term care or a severe injury that necessitates extensive recovery.
• Physical and occupational therapists, as well as speech therapists, incur rehabilitation costs.
• Wheelchairs, artificial limbs, crutches, canes, and walkers are examples of assistive devices.

Lost earning capacity past and future. Wages were lost due to time away from work due to injury, hospitalization, and recovery.

Future lost wages when a pedestrian accident results in a permanent disability or condition that prevents a victim from returning to work or finding gainful employment elsewhere.

Costs of home modifications. Modifications such as wheelchair ramps and handrails to make a house more accessible.

Loss of Services. Replacement services when a pedestrian accident victim is unable to perform the same household tasks they did prior to their injuries, such as lawn care, outdoor maintenance, cleaning, grocery shopping, cooking, and childcare.
