Fighting for the rights of pedestrian accident victims.

Every year between 4,000-5,000 pedestrians are killed in motor vehicle accidents and over 60,000 are injured. On average, a pedestrian was killed every 2 hours and injured every 8 minutes, according to the Department of Transportation. In 2013 California had more pedestrian fatalities that any other state at 701, but thankfully not the highest per capita. The same year San Francisco saw 18 pedestrian fatalities, Fresno with 11, and Los Angeles suffered far more, with 76.

Pedestrians

A pedestrian is a person travelling on foot, whether walking or running. In some cases, those traveling on roller skates, skateboards, and scooters, as well as wheelchair are also included as pedestrians. Pedestrian accidents tend to be frequently associated with runners, joggers, bikers, the elderly and children that run out into the middle of the street. In other words, they are associated with people that do not move fast enough to get out of the way of a moving vehicle when crossing the street. Inattentiveness on the part of the pedestrian is also blamed. The truth is that people of all ages can be victims in pedestrian accidents regardless of how fast or slow they move. If you or a loved one has been injured in a pedestrian accident, these injuries can be quite serious and may even be fatal. It’s for this reason that you need to speak with a pedestrian accident attorney.

Seeking Compensation

The most important thing to understand when you are seeking compensation for your pedestrian accident injury is who the insurance company adjusters work for. Whether it’s your insurance company or the insurer of the other driver, the adjuster does not work for you. They work for the insurer, and that’s whose interests they are looking after. That means their goal is to settle the claim for the lowest amount possible.
We work for you, and your interests are our top priority! This is uppermost in our minds and how we approach all our negotiations with the adjusters, insurers and any counsel for the opposing party. While this is a new experience for you and your family, we deal with these legal issues day in and day out. We are familiar with the tactics they use and what they are and aren’t allowed to do.
