    How a Memphis Pedestrian Accident Attorney Can Help

    Usually, poor maintenance or design of the streets, roads, and sidewalks, along with the carelessness of the driver are the causes of pedestrian accidents. Pedestrians are extremely vulnerable when crossing streets and walking on the shoulder, especially when drivers are negligent or conditions are unfavorable. This vulnerability can lead to devastating injuries, including long-lasting disabilities, decreased earning capacity, and even death. If you or a loved one was injured in a pedestrian or bicycle accident, you may qualify to pursue a lawsuit to receive compensation for your medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
