MR. JEFFREY T. ROBERTS: A couple of years ago a woman came to us who had been a pedestrian in a crosswalk and she was struck by an uninsured car. She was concerned that she did not have any source of compensation for her injuries. What we did was we investigated her own insurance policy and found out that she had uninsured motorist coverage, which actually applied to her even as a pedestrian. In another case our client was struck by an uninsured motorist and she did not have any coverage. But we investigated the scene of the accident and found out that it was a dangerous condition in the roadway that led to that accident. And we actually were able to get her compensation for her injuries from the city. It's important that you consult with a personal in jury attorney if you've been involved in a pedestrian accident even if you don't think there may be a source of compensation.
