Some people try to handle a pedestrian accident claim on their own. But insurance companies often work to pay as little as possible. Without legal assistance, determining the fairness of a settlement offer or the omission of crucial details can be challenging.
A lawyer can step in to gather evidence, speak with witnesses, and deal with the insurance company for you. This ensures the insurance company takes your claim seriously and does not overlook your medical bills, lost wages, and long-term needs.
If your injuries are minor and your costs are low, you may not need an attorney. But when the accident caused serious harm or left you with lasting problems, having a lawyer on your side can make the difference in how much compensation you receive.

We can help with:
Even if the accident seems straightforward, having a lawyer ensures nothing is overlooked and helps you avoid mistakes that could lower your settlement or even get your claim denied.
If you sustained injuries in an accident, we may be able to compensate you for your bills and the impact on your life.
Special damages include medical bills, lost wages, future income loss, and other out-of-pocket costs. These are actual financial losses you can document with receipts or statements.
These refer to non-economic losses like pain and suffering, emotional distress, and loss of enjoyment of life. General damages are often harder to quantify but just as important to your case.
In rare cases involving reckless or malicious behavior, the court may award punitive damages. These are meant to punish the at-fault party and discourage similar conduct.
Don’t let medical bills and insurance stress overwhelm you. Thompson Law is ready to stand by your side and pursue fair compensation. Contact us today for a free consultation.
Knowing the rules can help you understand what happened and protect your rights after an accident.
Pedestrians generally have the right-of-way at crosswalks and intersections. Drivers must yield, but pedestrians still need to follow traffic signals and look for oncoming traffic. Ignoring these rules can affect a compensation claim.
Tempe enforces lower speed limits in neighborhoods and business districts. Exceeding the limit can increase the risk of accidents and liability for drivers. Understanding these limits helps your lawyer show if the driver was negligent.
School zones have stricter speed limits during school hours. Drivers must slow down and watch for children crossing the street. Violations in school zones can be a key factor in pedestrian accident cases.
