cycling & pedestrian accident claims in minnesota.
Over 64,000 pedestrians are injured every year in the United States, and almost 5,000 pedestrians are killed. People of all ages are affected by these staggering statistics, but school age children and the elderly are the most vulnerable. Injuries suffered as a result of pedestrian accidents can be severe and life altering. You may have injuries to your head or neck, nerve damage, spinal cord paralysis, broken bones, dislocated joints, or worse. A Minneapolis pedestrian accident attorney at our firm understands that the goal after going through such trauma is to get your medical bills paid and covered, make sure you do not suffer financially through any lost wages, and make sure your insurance company will pay for future treatment relating to your injury.
