PEDESTRIAN ACCIDENT LAWYERS SERVING TIMMINS AND ONTARIO
An Ontario pedestrian may have access to accident benefits even without owning a vehicle. A separate liability claim may also be available, depending on the driver’s conduct, the pedestrian’s conduct, and the surrounding evidence.
​
Coverage: Crosswalks and intersections; hit-and-run claims; winter visibility; uninsured pedestrians; children and older adults; video and witness evidence.
​​
Pedestrians have little protection when struck by a car, truck, or other motor vehicle. Even a lower-speed impact can lead to serious injury, rehabilitation, time away from work, and long-term changes to daily life.
​
Meunier Carrier Lawyers assists pedestrians injured at intersections, crossings, parking areas, roadsides, and other locations. The firm can help identify the applicable insurer, investigate responsibility, and preserve time-sensitive evidence.
