No Win, No Fee. Guaranteed.
858-794-1700As San Diegans, we all use our busy streets and roadways throughout the course of our daily lives. We drive our cars and ride our bicycles or motorcyclists. Sometimes we are simply pedestrians, walking the streets and enjoying the sunny San Diego weather.
Although it is everyone’s responsibility to behave legally and safely, those driving vehicles, which pose an inherent danger due to their size and weight, have a particular obligation to be mindful of pedestrians.
Unfortunately, accidents to happen, and collisions between moving vehicles and pedestrians are all too common in San Diego. When a negligent driver hits an innocent pedestrian, the resulting injuries can be severe and sometimes even fatal.
If you’ve fallen victim to a pedestrian injury accident, call us. We will provide you with a free case evaluation to help determine whether you have a claim.
Unfortunately, as lawyers we have seen a lot of these types of accidents. More times than not the root cause is negligence:
+ Failing to yield to traffic or stop signs
+ Lack of awareness of surroundings
+ Driving under the influence
+ Running a red light, then hitting pedestrians in the crosswalk
+ Right turns through crosswalks without looking for pedestrians
+ Distracted driving, such as texting, talking on phone or checking social media sites etc
First, if you are able – be sure to gather information from the driver such driver’s license number, name, address, phone, license plate number along with make and model of the car.
Second, note the location of the accident, day, time and weather conditions. Take pictures of the scene, gather information from witnesses, and note if there are any surveillance cameras.
Finally, if you are injured, seek medical treatment right away then call our experienced Pedestrian Injury lawyers for a Free Case Evaluation. We will provide you with immediate feedback on your case, and once retained will begin working to secure compensation for your injuries.
Because of the difference in size and weight of a motor vehicle and a person, pedestrians who are hit often suffer serious or permanent injuries when struck by vehicles.
Injuries may include:
+ Head trauma or brain injury
+ Spinal cord injury
+ Broken bones
+ Internal injuries
In some cases, a pedestrian accident results in a fatality, at which point it is critical to contact us to determine if you may have a claim on behalf of your loved one. One of our experienced Wrongful Death attorneys will help guide you towards the best options for your situation.
The short answer, is that although some pedestrian injury accident claims are simple to handle, others are more complex. Trying to get complex cases resolved without the help of a specialized injury attorney can prove difficult.
Studies have consistently shown that personal injury claims represented by experienced personal injury attorneys like Phillips and Pelly, receive much higher compensation than those who choose to represent themselves. Our injury lawyers will explore all avenues of your claim to ensure the maximum compensation you are owed under the law, for your injuries.
If you are injured in a pedestrian accident, there are various forms of compensation that you may be eligible to receive, depending on your particular case and the severity of your injuries.
These include compensation for your medical bills, lost wages and pain and suffering. In cases of catastrophic injuries, we look not only to your immediate and short-term needs, but most importantly, toward the care we anticipate you will need for the rest of your life.
During the course of your case, we consult with medical experts to detail the specific damages, and what that means to your future.
We then seek compensation for things such as:
+ Intensive care or nursing home care
+ Assisted living aides
+ Modifications to the home or vehicles
+ Wheelchairs, lifts and medical equipment
+ Psychiatric/psychological care
+ Lost earning capacity and vocational retraining
