Walking can be a very dangerous activity if the person driving nearby is not paying attention.  As a pedestrian you have many rights regarding crossing the street.  Usually when an automobile hits you while you are walking the injury is going to be great and the medical bills can be very high.  It is important to protect your rights and not let the insurance company give you a quick and small offer to settle your case.  Contact me at 312-505-5038 to protect your interests.  I have an office in downtown Chicago and I am very flexible with hours and meeting locations.  I can travel to you if necessary or your hospital room.
