Pedestrian Accident Law Firm Serving Victims Throughout California, Including Los Angeles, San Francisco and San Diego
Pedestrian accidents result in some of the most catastrophic injuries and fatalities because, unlike auto accidents, truck accidents, and, to a much lesser extent, motorcycle accidents, the injured party is not protected by the structure of a vehicle.
If you were injured in an accident as a pedestrian, you could be entitled to personal injury compensation. A pedestrian accident attorney investigates the cause of the accident and fights for your right to fair and just compensation.
Common Causes of Pedestrian Accidents:
- Being struck by an intoxicated driver
- Being hit in the crosswalk by a vehicle running a red light or making a turn without looking for pedestrians
- Distracted driving, such as driving while texting.
Insurance companies are in the business of defending their insured and will use every tactic at their disposal to deny your claim or pay as little as possible. Do not be a victim.
