Los Angeles Pedestrian Accidents Lawyer

Inland Empire Attorney: Hit in the Crosswalk?

When it comes to motor vehicle accidents, pedestrians are especially vulnerable. Car-pedestrian accidents almost always result in serious injuries to the pedestrian, and more than 4,000 pedestrians are killed annually due to driver carelessness. As a result, drivers have a high level of responsibility to watch out for pedestrians on sidewalks, streets, and crossings. In most cases, there is no excuse for striking a pedestrian.

If you were injured in a pedestrian accident — perhaps while crossing the street or walking along the road — seek quality legal counsel to find out about your right to compensation for injuries, lost wages and pain and suffering.

What If Fault Was Not Clear Cut?

In some pedestrian accident cases — for example, if you were injured in a crosswalk — the driver of the motor vehicle was clearly at fault. In other cases, you might need the help of an experienced lawyer to prove liability.

Even if the accident seems to be the fault of the pedestrian, the driver of the car may be responsible. For example, a person driving in a school zone, near parks, or in other areas where children congregate or play should be watchful for a child darting out into the street.

California law is friendly to injured pedestrians. However, the insurance company of the vehicle that hit you or your family member will almost always fight back and try to minimize any financial compensation after the accident.

Do Not Discuss Your Case With the Driver's Insurance Company

If you are contacted by a representative of the at-fault driver's insurance company, you should not make any recorded statements or try to diagram the accident. Anything you say to an insurance company representative could be used against you in an attempt to damage your case.

As your attorney, Tom Reinecke will handle all communications with the driver's insurance company so you can concentrate on getting your health and your life back.
