Settlement for Elderly Pedestrian Hit by a Car On May 19, 2014, a 73-year-old male was out for his morning walk. He was struck by a driver that was backing out of an alley in Chicago, IL. The elderly male fell on the sidewalk and was immediately transported by ambulance to the hospital. Due to his injuries and other pre-existing ailments, he spent the night at the hospital. The elderly pedestrian suffered injuries to his back, shoulder, head, and ankle. He was required to go through extensive physical therapy to be able to get back on his feet and once again enjoy a morning walk. He hired Gainsberg Injury and Accident Lawyers to obtain compensation against the at-fault driver. The insurance company for the at-fault driver was reluctant at first to offer any significant money due to our client’s age and previous ailments. After extensive negotiations, Gainsberg Injury and Accident Lawyers obtained a fair and equitable settlement for our elderly client, convincing the insurance company that the impact aggravated our client’s underlying condition as well as caused new injuries to him.
