Experienced Erie Pedestrian Accident Injury Lawyer
If you or a member of your family has been injured by a motor vehicle while walking in a crosswalk or on a sidewalk or shoulder of a road, it is important to talk to an experienced personal injury lawyer as soon as possible. Do not give statements to an insurance company. Drivers in Pennsylvania know that pedestrians generally have the right of way, or are given the benefit of the doubt. Many will be confused by events and will claim that you or your child was difficult to see or was in the street, making the accident unavoidable.
