California Pedestrian Accident Attorney-Injury Lawyer

Accidents involving pedestrians are often catastrophic and result in serious injury or death. Unfortunately, California’s pedestrian fatality rate is nearly 25% higher than the national average. As Californians seek to enjoy the peace and health benefits provided by either cycling or walking, these activities come with increasing risk on our roadways. No state has more pedestrian deaths on its roadways than California. If you’ve been injured as a pedestrian or are dealing with the loss of a loved one due to these tragic accidents, our attorney stands ready to assist.

Common Causes of Pedestrian Accidents

Distracted driving due to the rise of social media and cell phone use has become an epidemic in California responsible for many of the accidents on our roadways. While it is a major contributor to the accidents with pedestrians, claims also arise in a variety of scenarios including the following:
 

  • Pedestrian accidents involving drunk drivers

  • Pedestrian accidents involving malfunctioning road signals or signs

  • Pedestrian accidents involving trains and train track signals

  • Pedestrian accidents involving commercial trucks

  • Pedestrian accidents involving negligent drivers

  • Pedestrian accidents involving cyclists


Unfortunately, when a pedestrian is up against a fast moving vehicle, there is little chance of avoiding serious injury. A serious injury necessitates a serious law firm capable of employing the legal strategies necessary to fight back against insurance companies that attempt to minimize losses resulting from these accidents. At Big League Law, our pedestrian accident attorney understands that these types of accidents lead to big losses that require a big recovery.

What to Do if Injured As a Pedestrian

It’s not often that a pedestrian injured by a negligent driver has the wherewithal to think about gathering evidence at the crash scene, but facts and evidence are extremely important to proving fault and liability for pedestrian injuries. Following is a list of things anyone can do to help preserve the integrity of these claims and arrive at a fair recovery:
 

  • Call the police and make sure an accident report is created;

  • Take photos of the injuries, the accident scene, the vehicle or bicycle involved, the road and weather conditions, and any other item that may have contributed to the accident;

  • Gather contact information for all parties involved including insurance card, drivers license, and license plate;

  • Gather contact information of any eye witness included phone number and address if willing.

  • Obtain medical care immediately following the accident to treat your injuries

  • Get a full medical evaluation describing any and all pain to your doctor;

  • Do not speak with an insurance representative without first speaking with a personal injury lawyer;

  • Avoid sharing the details of your accident on social media;

  • Contact a Big League Law attorney for a free consultation regarding your case


It’s important to remember that insurance companies that represent the at-fault party in these accidents have the ultimate task of minimizing the fault of their insured and paying you as little as possible to cover your injuries.
