        Mr. Ranzenhofer and his attorneys were great! My case was handled quickly and I got a great result – $300,000. I fell at my doctor’s office, so I knew it was a hard case. Mr. Ranzenhofer developed a strategy that got me a great result. I highly recommend Mr. Ranzenhofer and his team of attorneys.

        We were treated in a respectful, professional and helpful manner while preparing our wills, healthcare proxies and power of attorney. Mr. Friedman took as much time as we needed to answer all of our questions and concerns. His staff was friendly and efficient. We highly recommend him.

        I consulted with Justin Friedman in an effort to obtain reimbursement following damage to my personal property. Justin was diligent, tenacious, professional, and clearly dedicated to assisting me, all of which led to a very positive outcome. I was very impressed with his work and I highly recommend his office.

        Question:

        How does a pedestrian injury claim differ from a normal auto accident claim?

        Answer:

        The biggest difference that we see between pedestrian accidents and auto accidents is that the injuries are much more severe in pedestrian accidents. If you’re involved in a car accident, you have the doors, airbags and seat belts to protect you. You have a lot of protection in a car accident case. If you’re struck by a car, by a truck, or by a bus as a pedestrian, you’re unprotected. You don’t have a seat belt. You don’t have airbags. You’re going to be hurt, and generally you’re going to be seriously hurt. You’re not just going to have a sprain; you’re going to have a broken hip, a broken pelvis, or a broken elbow or leg. Your injuries are going to be a lot more severe. Because your injuries are more severe, you need to see an attorney right away in order to protect your rights.

        One of the things you also need to do is make sure that your medical bills are going to be paid for. There are very strict time limits on these matters. It’s not the normal process of contacting your own insurance company because you’re not in an automobile at the time you’re hit. If you’re struck by a driver who’s driving a car, you need to contact us right away. You only have a very short period of time to make sure that your medical bills are going to be paid and that you’re going to be fairly compensated for your injuries.
