Why You Need a Pedestrian Accident Attorney
Pedestrian accident claims can be complicated. An experienced Missouri pedestrian accident attorney will be able to explain the law to you and advise you of your rights.

Typically, insurance agents will offer to pay for medical bills and not much more.
Compensation can cover:

- Loss of wages
- Medical expenses past and future
- Loss of enjoyment of life
- Loss of companionship and funeral costs, in the event of wrongful death
- Pain and suffering
