When a careless driver hits a pedestrian, the injuries that occur are often life-altering. Our attorneys deal with catastrophic injury cases daily. We understand the level of care and support necessary for serious injuries and know that recovering the money to pay for them is essential for victims.

Alternatively, we may present the evidence in a Saginaw County, MI, court and ask the jury to award compensation based on it. The potentially recoverable damages in these cases could include:

- Lost income for to-date missed pay and reduced earning capacity based on long-term disabilities

Our Saginaw Attorneys Can Build a Convincing Pedestrian Accident Case
We encourage you to contact us as soon as your pedestrian accident injuries allow. We often meet with clients still undergoing inpatient treatment or rehabilitation at one of Saginaw’s Level II trauma hospitals, Ascension St. Mary’s of Michigan or Covenant HealthCare. We can also meet with you at other facilities in the area, in your home, or virtually.
We know how to handle catastrophic auto accident cases. Our attorneys understand where pedestrian accidents are more likely to occur in Saginaw, their unique causes, and contributing factors in each area. We know the role that heavy traffic, complex intersections, and high pedestrian activity play in these collisions and how to build a strong case based on driver negligence.
Some areas where our clients suffer catastrophic pedestrian accident injuries could include:
- Intersections along major roads and in Old Town and near the Riverfront where there are more pedestrians crossing traffic lanes
- Intersections along State Street, where pedestrian crosswalks are large or may lack safe crosswalks or walk indicators
- Along Bay Road, also known as M-84, which has massive pedestrian crosswalks
- In school zones and near popular parks, including Hoyt Park and Saginaw High School
Injuries in a Pedestrian Accident Can Be Devastating
We also understand the severity of injuries that often come with these collisions. Pedestrians have little protection from the full force of a moving vehicle. This often leads to:
- Traumatic brain injuries, for which our firm founder has a 95 percent success rate in recovering compensation
- Spinal injuries, including paralysis injuries
- Amputations, compound fractures, loss of use, and other serious limb injuries
- Severe lacerations
- Internal organ injuries and bleeding
- Crush injuries
We take the necessary steps to help victims pay their bills to date and fight for the compensation they need to cover their care costs in the future. This could require us to file a No-Fault Personal Injury Protection (PIP) claim based on the at-fault driver’s policy, as well as negotiate for fair compensation based on the driver’s liability. If we need to sue, these cases generally go before the 10th Judicial Circuit Court located in Saginaw.
How Long Does a Saginaw, MI, Pedestrian Accident Lawyer Have to Sue?
Michigan has a statute of limitations that sets the deadline for filing a car accident lawsuit at three years, per Michigan Compiled Laws § 600.5805. Exceptions exist, though.
