Tempe, AZ - With no cell phone service in the remote stretch of road where their tour bus rolled down an embankment, the uninjured flagged down a motorist who had to drive about two dozen miles to get help.
Pedestrian accidents are happening more and more. With all the drivers on the road today there seems to be less attention paid to the pedestrian. If you have been involved in an accident where injuries were sustained, make sure that you are very clear about your rights. Even when contacted by an insurance company regarding any benefits or settlements regarding your pedestrian accident, it may be better to have legal representation. Something to consider when pursuing a pedestrian accident case is, who has your best interests in mind, the insurance company or your lawyer.
