Pedestrian Accident Lawyer Brentwood, TN
One of the most traumatic types of accidents anyone can go through is being hit by a car as a pedestrian. With so many people walking on the sidewalks every day, these incidents unfortunately happen often. Our team at Patterson Bray PLLC is fully aware of the impacts that these events can have on victims. People may be left with severe injury, monetary loss from missing work, and other damages. If you were recently hit by a moving vehicle, we urge you to reach out to our Brentwood, TN pedestrian accident lawyer about a case. You may be owed compensation from the driver responsible for how your health and life was negatively affected. We are ready to offer legal counsel today.
Causes Of Pedestrian Accidents
There are many contributing factors that could have led to the accident. The driver may have been texting or talking on their phone which made them too distracted to notice your presence. No one should be using cell phones while they are operating a moving vehicle. Drivers who get behind the wheel while intoxicated are dangerous to everyone on the road, particularly pedestrians. Impaired drivers may fail to stop at signs or street lights as pedestrians are walking across. Generally speaking, pedestrians have the right of way. Impatient drivers who are rushing to get where they need to be may not see a pedestrian walking in front of them. Other causes of pedestrian accidents can be bad weather, construction, cars making left turns at signals, and multi-lane/arterial roadways.
Getting Medical Attention
If you were hit by a car driver, you probably had to seek medical attention for your injuries. Rarely does someone walk away from an incident like this unscathed. The external body of a motor vehicle is strong and a pedestrian will have nothing to deflect the force of impact. Getting medical attention is essential. The medical documentation can be used as evidence to show the injuries you sustained and their severity. This can be influential when asking for compensation from the driver at fault because it shows how you were directly impacted from the incident. If you do not have medical care coverage or don’t know where to be seen by a doctor, please contact our dedicated pedestrian accident attorney now so that we can get you the treatment you need.

Posted on GoogleTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We’ve had an outstanding experience with this firm across multiple needs, including trust document creation and forming an LLC. From start to finish, they were professional and proactive. They made sure we understood every step of the process and checked in to confirm our preferences, as well as offering thoughtful alternatives whenever something didn’t feel like a good fit. That level of communication and attention to detail is rare. Every interaction built confidence that we were in the right hands. They not only handled the legal work effectively, but also made the entire process feel manageable and well-guided. We cannot recommend them highly enough and will absolutely continue using them in the future.Posted on GoogleTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Attorney Judith Denham and her legal assistant, Gaby Wright, made a great team in creating a trust for me. Judith explained everything in a clear, cohesive way and set up a trust in a timely manner.

I had a few (what I would consider) silly questions to ask the legal team at Patterson Bray PLLC. Having very little knowledge of the situation I needed clarity on, I had no idea what to expect. I was met with nothing but professionalism and warmth from attorney Rachel Meadows. She gave me information I didn’t even remotely consider, and my questions were thoroughly answered without judgement. She could have certainly given me less detailed responses, but I felt that she genuinely cared about my situation, and appreciated her taking me seriously. I’m extremely impressed with the service I received from this law firm and will happily recommend it.Posted on GoogleTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
