Get the Compensation You Deserve After a Pedestrian Accident

Pedestrians are the most vulnerable road users, accounting for more than half of all traffic fatalities, despite the fact that they make up only 13% of traffic. But when you’re hit by a car while walking, you’re not alone in your fight against the driver who caused the accident and insurance companies who deny your claim.

Our Los Angeles personal injury lawyers have helped many pedestrians and their families get compensation after being hit by negligent drivers, from wrongful death settlements to compensation for medical bills and lost wages resulting from injuries.

Do I have a legal case?

A pedestrian accident lawyer can help you determine whether or not you have a legal case. To find out, there are some common questions to ask yourself and your lawyer:

Did I suffer an injury?

Was my injury caused by someone else?

Could the driver be legally responsible for my injuries? If so, it's important that you contact a California pedestrian accident lawyer as soon as possible. If not, then unfortunately this may not be the right time to pursue legal action against them. It's important that you speak with one of our lawyers in order to get more information about what type of compensation is available to you and how much it might cost if we proceed with your case.

When deciding on proceeding with a personal injury claim, please consider these five factors: 1) The severity of the injury 2) The length of recovery 3) Medical costs incurred 4) Future medical expenses 5) Loss of wages/disability income/opportunity costs 6) Punitive damages

How can I prove it?

If you're involved in an accident with a pedestrian and you believe that your car was not at fault, you may be able to pursue a personal injury claim. This is because California law states that drivers are liable for injuries caused by their vehicle, even if they don't have contact with the person. To win your case, you'll need to prove that:

-The driver owed you a duty of care

-You were injured by the driver's negligence

-You suffered damages as a result of the driver's negligence

-Your injury was proximately caused by the driver's negligent act or omission -Damages resulted from the injury, such as medical bills and lost wages

-And finally, you had no reason to assume the risk

Whether you're a pedestrian crossing a busy street or a driver turning left into oncoming traffic, our California pedestrian accident lawyers will fight for your rights. Contact us today so we can discuss how we can help maximize your compensation after any type of collision!

What are my chances of winning in court?

The outcome of your case will depend on many factors, including:

-The seriousness of your injuries -How much fault the other driver shares for causing the accident. -Whether or not you wore reflective clothing, carried a flashlight, and crossed at a crosswalk -The number of lanes on the street where you were crossing and whether there was any traffic in those lanes when you were hit.

-Whether or not there was a stop sign or traffic light at the intersection where you were crossing. -Where you were located in relation to the crosswalk as well as what time of day it was.

-Who had right-of-way, if anyone. In California, pedestrians have the right-of-way at all intersections, unless they are told otherwise by signs. Pedestrians do not have to wait for the walk signal to show before crossing either. If you are crossing outside of a crosswalk then that would change who has right-ofway but again, only if signs dictate who should yield first.

If someone had caused an injury collision through driving under the influence or distracted driving then they will be held accountable for their actions and may be convicted criminally depending on how severe your injury is. It's important that you speak with an attorney so that they can help you navigate these issues

Who will pay for my medical bills, lost wages, and pain & suffering?

The driver of the vehicle that hit you will be responsible for compensating you for your injuries, pain and suffering. But what if they're uninsured or underinsured? This is where your own auto insurance policy may come in handy. It's possible your car insurance will cover some of your losses. The other parties involved in the accident may be liable for your losses as well (depending on who caused the accident).

For example, if someone else's car negligently struck yours and injured you, then they would be responsible to compensate you. If it was an intentional act, they could also face criminal charges. In any case, our pedestrian accident lawyers are here to help make sure you get the compensation you deserve after a pedestrian accident. Call now at 877-412-LAWS (5297) for your free consultation!

What happens if we don’t settle?

If you do not settle your claim, then you will need to go to trial. Trials can be long and they can be expensive.
