Getting injured by a car when trying to cross the street at an intersection may mean that you have gotten a serious injury like a broken leg or arm. From my statistics in handling pedestrian/car crashes for the last 16 years the injured person may face many troubling issues and questions such as who pays the bills. Most of the PIP companies (Personal Injury Protection) will pay out any where up to $15,000.00 for injuries. This PIP policy will pay your medical bills.

Pain and suffering award money is also available and the amount you get really depends upon a lot of factors, which may include the kinds of injuries you received, the amount of bills and whether you have a permanent injury. Its best to talk to a injury lawyer in Oregon and/or Washington because experience counts especially when you are the victim.
