Cars that collide with pedestrians often impart serious and catastrophic injuries.  Depending on the speed of the collision, the injuries a pedestrian may suffer range from broken bones and dislocated limbs to brain trauma and even death.

Shinbaum Abell McLeod & Campbell represents pedestrians who have been injured and family members of pedestrians who have been killed in the Montgomery and Central Alabma area.  We will investigate the claim to identify the parties in the collision and to determine if the driver operated the motor vehicle negligently or recklessly.  The following scenarios may suggest negligent or reckless driving:

• Driver operated the car at an unsafe speed;
• Driver lost control of the car;
• Driver ran a red light and struck the pedestrian in the crosswalk;
• Driver under the influence of alcohol or prescription drugs;
• Driver engaged in a race with another car; and
• Driver distracted by cell phone usage.

Additionally, our investigation may lead us to discover other responsible parties, such as if the police was engaged in a high-speed pursuit in a crowded neighborhood or a manufacturing defect caused the motor vehicle to malfunction and crash.

Our firm will seek compensation from the responsible parties to pay for existing medical expenses, lost wages, and future medical treatment and therapy.   Our experienced personal injury attorneys will review the circumstances surrounding the accident and discuss the available alternatives.
