What Does A West Hollywood Pedestrian Accident Lawyer Do?
California law permits victims of a pedestrian accident, referred to as the plaintiff in legal proceedings, to demand fair compensation from the person or entity that caused the crash and their injuries. A pedestrian accident lawyer represents the plaintiff, building a case against the defendant to prove their negligence. Often, the defendant is the driver, but other parties could share liability in your pedestrian accident. For example, if the municipality responsible for making sure that traffic lights and signals are functioning does not uphold this responsibility, and the accident was due to a malfunctioning signal, then the city could be partly liable for the accident, in addition to the driver.
Our role as your real advocate is to thoroughly investigate the incident and determine its cause. We identify all liable parties and gather evidence to prove their negligence caused you harm. We use the fine points of California personal injury law to present this evidence clearly and convince a judge and jury to award you the maximum compensation in your claim.
Many cases are settled outside of court in negotiations between the two parties. We also represent you in these negotiations, fighting for every penny you’re entitled to.
Pedestrian Accident Injuries Are Often Serious
Being struck by a car often results in catastrophic injury, including head trauma, broken bones, road rash, and internal organ damage or internal bleeding. The cost of medical care for pedestrian injuries can easily reach into the hundreds of thousands of dollars, especially if you require surgery or need to recover in a nursing home.
Because pedestrian accident claims are usually high-value, they can be trickier to settle than other personal injury cases. Insurance companies scrutinize high-dollar claims, which is why it’s so important to have legal representation to ensure that your rights are respected and your interests are protected.
