Compensation for Victims of Pedestrian Accidents

In cases where a pedestrian is fatally struck by a vehicle, the victim’s family may be entitled to various forms of compensation. Such accidents can lead to significant emotional and financial burdens on the family, and it is important to understand the types of compensation that might be available.

Compensation can include coverage for medical expenses, funeral costs, loss of income, and compensation for the emotional pain and suffering endured by the family. Additionally, if the driver is found to be negligent, punitive damages may be sought to hold the responsible party accountable.
