Pedestrian Accident Attorney in DFW

We have represented many people in your situation and have won the compensation they deserved.
If you or a loved one have been injured by a vehicle, you need to contact our personal injury attorneys as soon as possible. Aside from statutory limits, many insurance companies actively seek to give you less compensation that you deserve. Or worse yet, deny you any compensation what so ever.
There are many factors to consider when seeking compensation for a pedestrian accident. Some of which are the following:
- Lost wages
- Medical bills
- Pain and suffering
- Prescriptions
Pedestrian Accident Liability
Many times the motorist will deny all wrong doing. This is where our Arlington & DFW pedestrian accident attorneys come into action. We investigate important details such as accident scene photographs, medical records and police statements. Sometimes the government itself is at fault due to inadequate signage or malfunctioning signals. All of these details play a crucial role in establishing liability and ensuring adequate compensation for your personal injury case.
Pedestrian Accident Medical Care
We can help you get the medical care you need to recover from the trauma of being hit by a car. You shouldn’t have to pay for the carelessness of the driver, so we are able to secure treatment for you without having to pay any money out of your pocket. Especially since you did not have the protection of a metal frame of a car or other safety features, medical bills can be very expensive. Therefore, you should contact The Law Offices of David Kohm immediately to secure the treatment and legal representation for these financial rights.
