In late 2020 Norfolk, VA car accident lawyer Ed Atkinson settled a car-strikes-pedestrian case after protracted negotiation and civil litigation. Atkinson argued that the driver of a rental car failed to maintain a proper lookout and was otherwise negligent when he drove into a busy intersection near Old Dominion University and knocked a man walking his dog up onto the hood of his care. Serious knee and hip injuries resulted, requiring physical therapy and surgery. Thankfully the client was able to return to his favorite exercise activities and work obligations.
