Experienced in resolving pedestrian accidents in Melrose, Massachusetts
If you or a loved one are injured in an accident caused by a negligent driver John Tramontozzi at Tramontozzi Law in Melrose MA is here for you. Although many pedestrians look carefully for oncoming traffic, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), on average, a pedestrian is killed every 109 minutes and injured every 7 minutes. These accidents may be caused by distracted driving, DWI and a host of other contributors. Victims of serious personal injury are faced with making life-altering decisions about their future, including financial decisions, while suffering from the emotional turmoil that accompanies such a traumatic event. The legal system can be complicated and confusing, especially when your resources are tapped by a traumatic situation, making it all the more critical to have a trusted and knowledgeable counselor to provide experienced and unwavering representation
Children in particular are at risk of being hit by drivers. In children repercussions may not surface until years after the original injury. These injuries may result in changes to their abilities as they grow. They may require medical intervention to accommodate developmental changes and in grave situations one may need to undergo surgeries to accommodate development (or aging in adults) for many years after the original injury.
