Brookhaven Pedestrian Car Accident Lawyer

Need a Brookhaven Pedestrian Car Accident Lawyer? Somebody ran you down on US-51, on Brookway Boulevard, or somewhere else in Lincoln County. A process started then, and it was already running before you left the scene. The insurance company assigned to that driver’s policy opened your file the same day, pulled your injury type, and started calculating what they can get away with paying. A pedestrian struck by a vehicle on US-51 through Brookhaven’s city center, on Brookway Boulevard at the I-55 Exit 40 commercial strip, or anywhere else in Lincoln County faces a claims process designed to pay as little as possible as fast as possible. His secretary will take your file and steer it toward that same result, on the adjuster’s clock rather than yours.

The TV lawyer is not worried about your pedestrian case right now. He is in his downtown office suite working through his advertising agency’s presentation on next quarter’s media budget. Not one pedestrian case has ever put him in front of a Lincoln County judge. He has never deposed an accident reconstructionist about pedestrian sight lines on US-51 through Brookhaven. No preservation demand ever left his office for the shops at Exit 40 on Brookway Boulevard. Those outside cameras point straight at the crossing. His secretary is waiting on the adjuster’s number. That number will be built on one premise: you will not know what your case is worth and neither will the lawyer holding your file.

Brookhaven Pedestrian Car Accident Lawyer: The Eggshell Plaintiff Doctrine And Why It Matters In Your Lincoln County Pedestrian Case

Why should a diabetic’s slower healing time be used as a reason to pay less, when slower healing is exactly the kind of aggravation the law exists to compensate in full? This is the eggshell plaintiff doctrine and it applies fully in Lincoln County Circuit Court. If you had a prior back condition, a prior knee surgery, a prior neck injury, or any other pre-existing medical history when that driver hit you on US-51 or Brookway Boulevard, the insurance company is going to use that history against you. They will argue that your current injuries are not the result of the wreck but of your prior condition. They will minimize. They will discount. They will use your medical history as a reason to pay you less than a fully healthy pedestrian would receive for the same impact.

Mississippi law kills that argument when the wreck aggravated, worsened, or sped up a condition you already had. Whatever the crash added to your old condition, the at-fault driver owes. Yet the TV lawyer’s secretary never makes the eggshell argument for a Brookhaven pedestrian. She compares your pre-wreck medical records to your post-wreck records, notes the pre-existing condition, and expects the adjuster’s reduced offer. A lawyer who tries pedestrian cases in Lincoln County Circuit Court fights that argument with medical evidence, treating physician testimony, and when necessary, a Lincoln County jury that understands the law as the judge instructs it.

What The Insurer Is Doing With Your Brookhaven Pedestrian File

Your adjuster already pulled the crash report from the Brookhaven Police Department. He has already noted your pre-existing medical history. He has already calculated the comparative fault percentage he intends to assign to you as a pedestrian whether the facts support it or not. Under Section 11-7-15, that number comes straight out of what you recover. An adjuster with a spreadsheet and a closing quota can hang a big piece of the blame on a pedestrian walking US-51. His secretary will take it. Her boss wants the file gone and has never put a Brookhaven pedestrian case to a jury.

The pedestrian surveillance window is measured in hours. Businesses on Brookway Boulevard and US-51 overwrite their camera footage in 24 to 72 hours. Was he on his phone? Did he run the light at Brookway Boulevard? The footage that answers those questions exists right now and nowhere else. Lincoln County’s courthouse lets you file for three years. It does not give you three years to preserve footage that loops out by Thursday.

Brookhaven Pedestrian Car Accident Lawyer: Brookway Boulevard, A Phone, And A Lawyer Who Settled Cheap

The camera caught that driver staring at his phone before he hit you. Nobody asked the store to save it. He took the lowball anyway, paid himself before you, and then sent his invoice. Medical records fees. Filing fees. Accident reconstruction fees for the expert who reviewed photographs from his home office. His itemized expenses paid for the artwork in his office lobby. Yours paid for exactly none of the missed mortgage payment you’re still catching up on. Add the Destin condo, the paralegal’s Tuesday summary, and the secretary’s call about the best available offer. Your pedestrian case pays for every line. Lying on the pavement was your part, while the bigger check went into his briefcase. Your crutches cost more than every letter he mailed combined. That is arithmetic on real pedestrian cases.

Every Brookhaven pedestrian case I take is covered by the Foster Fair Fee Guarantee. Written in your contract before I do a single thing on your case. You walk away with more money than I receive in fees. Every case. No exceptions. No other Brookhaven pedestrian accident lawyer advertising in Lincoln County will put that in writing. I will. The TV lawyer will not because his pedestrian case math does not survive the guarantee.

What A Real Brookhaven Pedestrian Accident Investigation Looks Like

On the day you call me about a pedestrian wreck on US-51, Brookway Boulevard, or anywhere in Lincoln County, I send written preservation demands to every business with camera coverage of your crossing location before anything else. US-51 through the Brookhaven city center has commercial and retail camera coverage at multiple intersections. Brookway Boulevard at Exit 40 has the hotel and commercial strip camera systems. I identify every business within camera range and demand they preserve footage for the relevant time window. I contact Brookhaven Police at 440 Hwy 51 South to confirm whether dashcam footage from the responding unit captured anything. I identify witnesses from the crash report and contact them while the memory is fresh.

Then your own doctors at King’s Daughters help me build the eggshell argument. If you had a prior condition, the question is not whether it existed. The question is what the driver’s impact did to that condition. That answer comes from your doctors, from the medical records, and from the expert testimony that the TV lawyer’s secretary never retains because her boss closed the file before the treating physician’s deposition was ever scheduled.
