Causes and Injuries of Pedestrian Accidents

Common causes of pedestrian accidents are:

  • Drunk driving
  • Running a red light or stop sign
  • Making a right turn against a red light without looking for pedestrians
  • Making a left turn without looking for pedestrians
  • Distracted driving, such as texting while driving
  • Failing to yield right-of-way at marked crosswalks

Pedestrian injuries can be catastrophic and include injuries like: (1) Bone fractures (2) Traumatic brain injuries (3) Spinal cord injuries (4) Amputation injuries (5) Internal organ damage.

These injuries can be medically expensive and the recovery time may be lengthy. Contact Victory Law Group, LLP today at (213) 422-5061 to get started on your case and get you the maximum compensation for your damages and/or losses.

Fault in a Pedestrian Accident

According to California Vehicle Code Chapter 5, drivers must not only yield to pedestrians in marked and unmarked crosswalks, but also exercise “due care” not to hurt a pedestrian even if he or she is crossing outside of a marked or unmarked crosswalk. Due to the ambiguity of the laws, the driver often shares liability in cases where the pedestrian was negligent. Whether you were the driver or the pedestrian, Victory Law Group, LLP can help you in your pedestrian accident. Call us today at (213) 422-5061. You may also submit an online contact form and we will get back to you shortly.

FAQ
How Do I Find The Best Attorney For My Case?
Attorneys may spend months and sometimes years with their client so it is important that you find an attorney who you work well with. The best way to do that is to come in and meet your attorney and see if he works well with you. Free consultations provide you with not only a chance to ask initial questions, but also a chance to get to know the type of person you’ll be working with.
How Long Will My Case Take To Be Completed?
Due to the unique nature of each case, there’s no exact timeframe for the completion of cases. Often cases are settled between parties before reaching the trial stages, but complex cases might take years to be resolved. This is another reason why it is so important to seek representation to put in the time it takes in winning your case.
What is Expected From Me As A Client?
Cooperation with your attorney is critical to reaching the best possible result for your case. Your attorney will need you to be ready to answer questions, provide documents, and be available to meet at the office. Depending on the needs of your case, you may have to appear in court. Your attorney will keep you informed along the way and help work out a suitable strategy for your case.
How Much Do I Need To Pay For My Personal Injury Case?
In a personal injury case, attorneys do not collect money from you until you’ve won your case. This type of arrangement, known as a “contingent fee” allows you to get help on your case right away and needing only to share a fraction of your awarded sum.
