What Causes Pedestrian Accidents?

According to the Calfornia Department of Public Safety (CDPH), our state has one of the highest rates for pedestrian accidents in the nation. Considering the number of people and the amount of heavy traffic running through our area, residents in Alhambra are among those at high risk. When pedestrian accidents occur, it is generally reckless drivers on the road which are to blame. At Harris Personal Injury Lawyers, our Alhambra pedestrian accident attorneys help you hold these drivers accountable. Among the most frequent factors involved in cases we represent include:

• Failure to yield to pedestrians at crosswalks and intersections;
• Failure to be alert for pedestrians in parking lots;
• Speeding and going too fast for conditions on neighborhood roads;
• Running red lights and disregarding other traffic signals;
• Driving under the influence of alcohol, drugs, or medications.
• Distracted driving and other dangerous driving behaviors.

How Can I Get Compensation For Pedestrian Accident Injuries?

When a pedestrian accident occurs due to another person’s reckless behavior, you are entitled to compensation for the damages you suffer. At Harris Personal Injury Lawyers, we are dedicated to helping you get the maximum amount you need to recover. Your first option in these types of cases is filing a claim with the at-fault driver’s insurer. The California Department of Insurance (DOI) advises that all drivers are required to maintain a mandatory minimum amount of coverage. Unfortunately, dealing with these companies can prove challenging. In too many cases, they either deny the claim or downplay the amount you are entitled to in a settlement. As experienced Alhambra pedestrian accident attorneys, we can act as a strong legal advocate on your side in insurance company negotiations. If a reasonable settlement cannot be reached, we can guide you in filing a personal injury lawsuit against the at-fault driver involved. Compensation available may include:

• Coverage of current medical expenses and any future costs you are likely to incur;
• Lost wages and future losses in earnings or benefits due to ongoing disabilities;
• Compensation for your pain, suffering, and the loss of enjoyment in life your injuries result in;
• Punitive damages, which are additional amounts meant to punish drivers for particularly reckless conduct.

When representing clients in pedestrian accident cases, Harris Personal Injury Lawyers works on a contingency basis. This means you pay no attorney’s fees unless our legal team gets compensation for you. As these costs are generally awarded by the judge, they do not affect the amount you get in your settlement.
