If the driver was uninsured or fled the scene, we can often use the uninsured motorist coverage on your own family's auto policy to pay for your care."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"How long do I have to take legal action in Mississippi?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Mississippi law generally gives you three years from the date of the accident to file a lawsuit. You should never wait that long. Critical evidence like security camera video and witness memories disappear very quickly. The sooner you call our office, the stronger we can build your case."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"What if the insurance company says I was jaywalking?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Do not let this stop you from calling us. Mississippi law allows you to seek compensation even if you were partially at fault for the accident. We will fight to prove the driver was speeding, distracted, or failing to pay attention to the road."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"Will my case have to go to a courtroom?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Most pedestrian accident cases are settled outside of court. We work relentlessly to negotiate a full settlement so you do not have to endure a trial. However, if the insurance company refuses to treat you fairly, we are fully prepared to take your case to a jury."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"What should I do right after a pedestrian accident?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Your health is the only priority. Seek emergency medical attention immediately. Adrenaline can hide the symptoms of serious internal injuries. If you are physically able, take photos of the car, the crosswalk, and your injuries. Get names and phone numbers from anyone who saw the crash. Then, call our legal team before speaking to any insurance adjusters."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"Can I afford to hire a pedestrian accident lawyer?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Yes. You pay nothing upfront to hire our team. We cover all the costs of investigating your accident and fighting the insurance company. We only collect a fee if we win your case and secure a financial recovery for you."}}]}],{"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","@id":"https:\/\/www.mamajustice.com\/columbus\/pedestrian-accidents\/#BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Columbus","item":"https:\/\/www.mamajustice.com\/columbus\/#breadcrumbitem"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"Columbus Pedestrian Accident Lawyer","item":"https:\/\/www.mamajustice.com\/columbus\/pedestrian-accidents\/#breadcrumbitem"}]}]
