A Pedestrian Accident Professional Can Help Your Case!

No matter if you are crossing the street in downtown Salt Lake, in idyllic St. George, or even bustling Ogden, pedestrian crosswalks can be dangerous. Data released by the Centers for Disease Control has shown that pedestrians are 1.5 times as likely to be killed in an auto accident than passengers riding with the vehicle. Indeed, each year almost 6,000 people are killed in pedestrian accidents in the United States. Crossing the street can be perilous for far too many people.

Traffic laws in Utah clearly state that automobiles must yield to pedestrians as they cross any street or road clearly marked with a crosswalk. If you are a pedestrian whom has been injured in an accident caused by an inattentive or reckless driver, you will need an professional to help you make the best recovery possible. Our professionals know best how to win you the compensation you deserve. The Professionals will fight for your case, even if it means taking your case before a judge and jury.

FAQ

The short answer is, “It depends.” There are so many factors that it is almost impossible to give an accurate answer. The first thing it depends on is your health. If you fully recover fairly quickly your case may proceed quickly, too. If you require ongoing treatments, it may take time before the doctors decide you are medically stable, at which point the legal case moves forward. At this point, your attorney will attempt to negotiate for a settlement with the insurance company. Sometimes, this process goes very quickly. Other times, a settlement is not agreed upon within a reasonable period of time, so your attorney will then need to file a personal injury lawsuit. Then it depends on the state where the injury occurred, what the laws are that cover civil law time periods, and additional factors like backlogs in the court systems. It can take quite a long time.

Maybe, but probably not. Most of the time the skilled lawyers at Acadia Law Group are able to settle cases out of court. Sometimes that means even without filing a lawsuit, but other times the filed claim is resolved before the final court date. If your case does make it to court, your case will be presented by an experienced trial attorney to maximize your award.

Not usually. You are most likely to receive what are called compensatory and general damages. This allows you to be compensated for lost wages, medical and other expenses, plus pain and suffering from the injury. Please be sure to consult both your personal injury lawyer and your accountant or other tax preparer to be certain.

It depends. Most personal injury claims are resolved through insurance settlements, and settlement negotiations can take anywhere from a few months to a year or longer. If our lawyers need to take your case to trial in the Florida courts, this can extend the duration of the process as well. While we cannot tell you how long your case will take, what we can tell you is that we will work diligently to achieve a favorable result as quickly as possible.

Yes, if it is possible to do so, and if negotiating a settlement is in your best interests. While we understand that you want to resolve your case quickly, we also know that it is imperative that you not settle for too little too soon. It is ultimately up to you to decide when to settle, but we will let you know if we believe it is in your best interests to proceed toward trial.

When you are injured in an accident that is not your fault, you are entitled to receive financial compensation from the party that is liable for your injuries. You do this by filing a personal injury claim. As a practical matter, most personal injury claims are resolved through settlement negotiations with the liable party’s insurance company. However, some cases go to court, and it is important to choose Florida injury lawyers who are willing to take your case to trial if necessary.

The service offered at Acadia Law Group was excellent. From the first moment they were in contact with us, when we requested their services they immediately scheduled a meeting in person to treat all the minors for the case and although it was a small case they took it with the same seriousness and responsibility as if it had been a millionaire case. All the time they were available to help and advise us.

They are very professional indeed! Unfortunately the people complaining is mainly because of the long process it takes for this firm to handle their claims which has been affected by covid and is not their fault! They have done and do everything in their power, but some things are out of their control. I give them 5 stars! Thank you Karla, Natalie and team!

Leonardo Dicano
Entrepreneur

Acadia Handled my claim in a very professional manner. They were able to settle my claim hitting the high mark professionally and monetarily. Absolutely recommend them !

Lance Larson

I would NEVER try and accomplish Social Security Disability on my own! I filed the first time and was, of course, DENIED. I honestly believe they deny every single applicant the first time. I found Acadia Law Group through a Google search and liked what I saw. I will honestly say that in the beginning I was a little concerned. I rarely spoke with anyone. But I tell you what – when it came time to go to court my attorney flew in to action! I was amazed! Don’t get me wrong – I was kept up to date and informed throughout the entire process but never met with my attorney.  Don’t ever try and do this on your own! It’s worth every dime handing it over to Acadia and let them take
