Often, these accidents involve pedestrians. Because they are so vulnerable and drivers are increasingly indulging in risky behaviors, pedestrians are in near-constant danger. When there is a crash, a pedestrian can suffer severe injuries and even lose their lives. These accidents are compounded when the driver of the vehicle decides to flee the scene rather than check on the victim and call for help, if it is needed. For people who have been injured or lost a loved one in a hit and run pedestrian crash, it might be useful to have legal help to pursue compensation.<\/p>\n<p>An elderly pedestrian was seriously injured when <a href=\"https:\/\/www.chicagotribune.com\/news\/breaking\/ct-hit-and-run-pedestrian-injured-20191230-afrtftjpzra4rc7pliprdkyssa-story.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">he was hit<\/a> by an SUV. The SUV subsequently fled the scene with law enforcement still searching for it and the driver. The accident happened in the late afternoon at around 5:30 p.m. The pedestrian, 73, was crossing the street in the crosswalk when the turning SUV crashed into him. After the pedestrian was hit and was lying in the road, the vehicle hit him in the head as it sped away. He was diagnosed with several fractures. He also had a head injury. The vehicle was described by witnesses and investigators are looking through possible surveillance images.<\/p>\n<p>Pedestrians are granted no protection when they are walking the streets. Being hit by a motor vehicle can lead to head injuries, spinal cord damage, broken bones, lost limbs and more. Often, a pedestrian-car crash leads to a fatality. Those who have been hit by a car should remember that they will likely face a long road to recovery. There can be medical expenses for surgical procedures, the need for long-term care, the inability to get back to work and other problems. When there is a fatality, the family must pay for funeral costs and learn to move forward after the unexpected death of a loved one. A legal filing will not change the past, but it can help with the future and being compensated for all that was lost.<\/p>\n<p>A hit and run driver is being sought after crashing into a 73-year-old man who was crossing the street. While law enforcement seeks out the driver and the vehicle, it is wise for the injured man&#8217;s family to be fully protected and contact a law firm experienced in <a href=\"\/auto-accidents\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">car accidents<\/a>. Whether the crash was due to intoxication, recklessness, distracted driving or happened for any other reason, a legal filing might help with a claim.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In Chicago and across Illinois, it is an unfortunate reality that car accidents can happen at any time.
