Walking is not confined to Cleveland’s business district. Ohio City, Tremont, Detroit-Shoreway, University Circle, Shaker Square, and many Cleveland neighborhoods are highly walkable.
In addition, on the campuses of John Carroll University, Cleveland State University, and Case Western Reserve University, you will find students and faculty walking or running to class. You may also be one of the thousands in Cleveland walking to and from concerts and sporting events.
At Kisling, Nestico & Redick, our Cleveland pedestrian accident lawyers, see a lot of cases where innocent people suffer because a negligent driver strikes them while they are walking around town. Let KNR use our experience and knowledge to explain your rights, identify who is at fault, and fight to recover compensation for your losses.
When you walk around Cleveland, you expect to get where you are going without much trouble.
Unfortunately, as a pedestrian, you are at risk of being struck by a car, motorcycle, commercial truck, bicycle, or some other vehicle. According to the National Safety Council, in 2018, there were 7,450 fatal pedestrian traffic accidents. 79% of these pedestrian accidents happened in urban settings, like Cleveland. In addition, 25% occurred at intersections, and 76% were at night.
The Cleveland pedestrian accident lawyers at KNR represent individuals and families after all kinds of pedestrian accidents.
Some of the most common situations include:
You may not know what happened after being struck by a car. If your child got hit, you might not have been there to see it.
You need to hire a personal injury attorney to investigate. At KNR, we have a lot of experience investigating pedestrian accidents. We will get to the bottom of what happened and build your case for compensation.
If a vehicle struck you or a loved one, our Cleveland pedestrian accident lawyers recommend:
Your priority should always be your and your loved one’s health. If you were in a vehicle-pedestrian collision, or your child was struck by a car, call 911 immediately. You should do this even if you believe you or your child are not seriously injured. You will want the police to create a crash report. This can be important for a potential claim for compensation.
If you can walk around and talk any witnesses, then do your best to gather names and contact information. Make sure to also ask for the driver’s insurance information. If you cannot do this, do not worry. Call our experienced Cleveland pedestrian accident lawyers right away. We will obtain the necessary information.
If you can, take photos and video of the scene. Do your best to document the property damage and you or your child’s injuries.
Following a collision, it can be difficult to remember what happened. We recommend you record or write down everything you can remember as soon as possible. Write down the basic facts, including the date, time of day, location, weather, and traffic conditions. Then, you should do your best to document everything you can about what happened before, during, and after your accident.
