Injured pedestrians face not only the physical trauma of being struck by a car, but they face serious emotional trauma and shock as well. Being "assaulted" by a 3,000 to 4,000 pound (or more) moving object can cause lifelong physical problems and emotional distress.

It is important to note that if a loved one witnesses the person being injured they, too, can suffer emotional distress and may, under certain circumstances, file a claim against the negligent party (or parties) as well.

Attorney Lowell Steiger has handled many auto versus pedestrian cases and is sympathetic to what the injured person and his or her family goes through. He recognizes the subtle nuances of the emotional distress that accompanies your physical injuries and treats you with respect and understanding while aggressively moving your case forward against the offending party (or parties).

Experience, reputation and strength qualify Lowell Steiger to pursue compensation for your physical injuries including past, present and future medical treatment and care, emotional distress, loss of earnings (past, present and future) and a myriad of other damages that are caused by the pedestrian accident.

When appropriate, he enlists the help of expert witnesses in relevant fields to provide proper analysis and, ultimately, testimony on behalf of your case. Cases with complex legal and medical issues require the effort of a team of qualified people.
