Who Is Responsible For Pedestrian Accidents In Glendora?  

To prevent pedestrian accidents, the Traffic Division of the Glendora police department spends considerable time and energy on what they call the ‘Three E’s’: educating people about potential risks, enforcing local traffic laws, and engineering to make city streets safer.  

Despite these efforts, pedestrian accidents in Glendora continue to happen. In the majority of cases, the reckless and negligent driving behaviors of motorists are to blame. This includes:  

• Driving distracted, such as using cell phones or texting; 
• Driving under the influence, which can involve alcohol or drugs; 
• Failing to yield the right of way, a common cause of pedestrian accidents in crosswalks and intersections; 
• Speeding and going too fast for conditions, which increases pedestrian accident risks and the severity of injuries.  

When reckless drivers leave you suffering pedestrian accident injuries in Glendora, you can count on Harris Personal Injury Lawyers to hold them accountable. While you focus on your recovery, we focus on getting you the compensation you are entitled to in a claim.  

How Do I File A Pedestrian Accident Claim?  

There are two options for filing a pedestrian accident claim in Glendora. The first is to seek compensation through the at-fault driver’s insurer. At Harris Personal Injury Lawyers, we guide you through the process.  Our legal team gathers the evidence needed in your case and aggressively negotiates with insurance representatives on your behalf with the goal of getting you the maximum amount in any settlements.  

The second option is to file a personal injury lawsuit against the at-fault driver. This is often the best course of action if your injuries are severe or the other driver is uninsured. Under the California Civil Code, compensation available in this type of claim includes:  

• Economic damages: This covers tangible costs, such as your current medical bills and lost wages. This also compensates you for any treatment costs or losses in income you are likely to incur in the future.   
• Non-economic damages: This covers intangible losses, such as pain, suffering, and any loss of enjoyment in life caused by your injuries.  
• Punitive damages, which is an additional amount we can push for. This is available in cases where the at-fault driver acted in a particularly willful and negligent manner, such as going too fast in a school zone or driving with a high blood alcohol content (BAC) level.  

What happens if a pedestrian accident in Glendora is a hit and run? You can count on Harris Personal Injury Lawyers to help identify and locate the driver.
