What Causes Pedestrian Accidents In Huntington Beach? 

With increasing numbers of people walking both for recreational purposes and as a means of transportation, the California Highway Patrol has made ensuring pedestrian safety a primary concern. While it is important for pedestrians to take the actions needed to protect themselves, one of CHPs major tasks is apprehending drivers engaged in dangerous behaviors that make pedestrian accidents more likely to occur.  When you or someone you loved is injured in a pedestrian accident, Harris Personal Injury Lawyers help you hold the at-fault driver accountable. Among the most common causes in cases our Huntington Beach pedestrian accident attorneys represent include:

• Speeding and going too fast for conditions; 
• Disregarding stop signs, crosswalks, and other traffic signals; 
• Driving distracted, such as making calls or sending texts; 
• Driving under the influence of alcohol, illegal drugs, or prescription medications.

How Do I File A Pedestrian Accident Claim? 

When the reckless actions of others on the road leave you suffering serious injuries, Harris Personal Injury Lawyers guides you in seeking compensation through a pedestrian accident claim. There are two basic options for holding those at fault responsible:

• File a claim with the at-fault driver’s insurer: All drivers are required to maintain a minimum amount of insurance coverage to protect them against accidents in which they are to blame. Our Huntington Beach pedestrian accident attorneys aggressively negotiate with insurers on your behalf, helping you get the maximum amount in a settlement.  
• File a personal injury lawsuit: In cases where the driver is uninsured, your injuries are severe, or a reasonable settlement cannot be reached, Harris Personal Injury Lawyers can guide you in filing a lawsuit through the Orange County Civil Court.

How Much Is My Pedestrian Accident Case Worth? 

As experienced Huntington Beach pedestrian accident attorneys, our legal team at Harris Personal Injury Lawyers is dedicated to getting you the maximum amount you need to recover in your claim. While the exact amount will vary based on the circumstances in your case and the extent of your injuries, compensation available in a pedestrian accident lawsuit often includes:

• Economic damages, which cover actual costs such as your current and future medical expenses and lost wages; 
• Non-economic damages, which compensate you for the pain, suffering, and loss of enjoyment in life you experience; 
• Punitive damages, which is an additional amount that may be ordered if the at-fault driver acted in a particularly willful and reckless manner.
