Head Injury, Compensation Successfully Secured.
Pellettieri Rabstein & Altman secured a $615,000 settlement for a pedestrian who was struck by a vehicle while walking through a marked crosswalk. The victim, a university professor, was hit by a rideshare vehicle while lawfully crossing the street on campus. As a result of the collision, the pedestrian suffered serious injuries, including orthopedic trauma and cognitive impairment, requiring extensive medical care and ongoing treatment.
Pedestrian accidents often lead to severe injuries because individuals on foot have little protection when struck by a motor vehicle. Victims may face significant medical expenses, time away from work, and long-term physical or neurological complications. In cases involving distracted driving, failure to yield, or unsafe driving behavior, injured pedestrians may have the right to pursue compensation for their damages.
In this case, the legal team at Pellettieri Rabstein & Altman conducted a detailed investigation into the accident and worked to demonstrate the full extent of the victim’s injuries and losses. Through strong advocacy and careful preparation, the attorneys were able to negotiate a substantial settlement of $615,000 prior to trial, providing the injured client with meaningful financial recovery.
This successful outcome reflects the firm’s experience handling complex personal injury claims involving pedestrian accidents and motor vehicle negligence. Pellettieri Rabstein & Altman remains committed to helping injured individuals throughout New Jersey pursue accountability and secure compensation for medical costs, lost income, and the long-term impact of serious injuries.
