Experienced Mobile Pedestrian Accident Attorney Fighting For Your Maximum Compensation
After being hit by a vehicle as a pedestrian, you face a difficult road to recovery. While you focus on healing, insurance companies work to reduce the amount they pay. This is when having a determined legal advocate makes all the difference in your recovery and financial future.
I am attorney Richard E. Mather, and I have represented pedestrian accident victims throughout Mobile and surrounding Alabama communities. My goal is to handle the legal complexities while you concentrate on what matters most – your health and family.
Common Causes Of Pedestrian Accidents
Pedestrian collisions occur for various reasons across Alabama, often resulting from driver errors:
- Drivers looking at phones or other distractions instead of the road
- Failure to stop completely at intersections or yield to pedestrians in crosswalks
- Excessive speed in areas where pedestrians are present
- Operating vehicles under the influence of alcohol or drugs
- Limited visibility conditions without proper precautions
These incidents frequently occur near shopping centers, at busy downtown intersections and along major thoroughfares in Mobile.
Common Pedestrian Accident Injuries
The human body has no protection against the impact of a vehicle, resulting in particularly severe injuries:
- Head trauma ranging from concussions to permanent brain damage
- Back and neck injuries that may affect mobility for life
- Broken bones requiring surgery and extensive rehabilitation
- Damage to vital organs necessitating emergency medical intervention
- Significant skin injuries that may require grafting or reconstructive procedures
Recovery from these injuries often requires lengthy hospital stays, ongoing treatment and substantial time away from employment and normal activities.
How I Can Help You After A Pedestrian Accident
As your lawyer, I take immediate action to protect your interests by:
- Launching a complete investigation while evidence remains fresh
- Locating and interviewing witnesses before memories fade
- Consulting with medical professionals to document your injuries thoroughly
- Assessing all damages, including future medical needs and lost earning capacity
- Standing firm against insurance companies who pressure victims to accept inadequate settlements
Alabama law limits the time you have to pursue compensation after an accident. Taking prompt legal action helps preserve your rights and prevents the responsible party from avoiding accountability.
