Vehicles pose a danger every time pedestrians cross the street. Even in protected crosswalks, inattentive drivers strike pedestrians. While common sense says pedestrians have the right of way, the law isn’t always so clear. Injured pedestrians need strong advocates to fight for them. We are an experienced California pedestrian accident law firm and have recovered millions of dollars for our clients. Call now to speak directly with your attorney.
Drivers Always Have A Duty to Look Out for Pedestrians
Being hit by a car is a traumatic experience that can leave both physical and emotional scars. If you’ve been injured as a pedestrian, it’s natural to feel shaken and overwhelmed. An experienced pedestrian accident attorney can stand by your side, advocating for you and showing that the driver should be held responsible. Even when the law technically gives the right of way in limited situations, drivers have a duty to watch for pedestrians and take every precaution to prevent harm. Your lawyer can help a jury see that, had the driver been paying attention, this accident, and the pain it caused, could have been avoided, so you can focus on healing and moving forward.
Evidence Dissipates With Time
In personal injury cases, time is always the enemy. Physical evidence of a pedestrian accident fades quickly. Tire marks on asphalt disappear, bloodstains are washed away by rain or sprinklers, and witness memories fade with each passing day. That’s why you need an experienced pedestrian accident attorney who knows how to preserve crucial evidence while it’s still fresh. At Injury Law Group, our San Diego pedestrian injury lawyers have extensive experience handling cases where pedestrians are struck by vehicles. We work tirelessly to seek justice and secure the compensation you deserve, so you and your family can focus on healing and recovery.
