Yes! If you were hit and injured by a reckless or negligent driver, you can sue for damages. Examples of reckless driving include running a red light, driving distracted, or failing to stop at a stop sign. No matter what, if you were hit by a car while walking, you should contact a personal injury attorney like Fernando D. Vargas. Failure to do so can result in losing out on compensation for applicable damages, including:
