Our Napa Pedestrian Accident Attorneys Help You Get The Compensation You Need To Recover

Downtown Napa provides an abundance of options for walking. There are numerous shops, eateries, and historic sections to explore while trails and vineyards are just a short hike away. Walking does provides numerous health benefits and is an environmentally friendly way to get to work or run errands, but it is important to be aware of the risks. Pedestrian accidents in Napa happen on a regular basis, resulting in serious personal injuries. Harris Personal Injury Lawyers helps victims get the compensation they need to recover in these cases. Generally, reckless behavior on the part of motorists is to blame. Our Napa pedestrian accident attorneys defend the rights of clients in seeking compensation when injuries occur due to the following:

• Speeding and going too fast for conditions;
• Disregarding traffic signs and signals;
• Aggressive driving, such as failing to yield at crosswalks;
• Distracted driving, such as using cell phones or texting;
• Driving under the influence of alcohol, drugs, or medications.

Where Are Pedestrian Accidents Most Likely To Happen?

How Can I Get Compensation In A Claim?

When a pedestrian accident occurs, you may be entitled to compensation through the at-fault drivers insurer. At Harris Personal Injury Lawyers, we aggressively negotiate with insurance companies and their representatives on your behalf to ensure any settlements offered cover all of your expenses. In the event insurance is not available or your injuries are severe, our Napa pedestrian accident attorneys can guide you in filing a personal injury lawsuit. Compensation available under the California Civil Code includes:

• Economic damages: These cover actual costs, including both current and future medical expenses and lost wages.
• Non-economic damages: These cover the pain, suffering, and any loss of enjoyment in life you experience due to your injuries.
• Punitive damages: This is an additional amount which may be ordered by the judge to punish the at-fault driver for particularly willful and negligent conduct.

What If My Pedestrian Accident Involving A Hit and Run?

It is not uncommon for drivers to flee the scene in the aftermath of a pedestrian accident in order to avoid responsibility. When this happens, Harris Personal Injury Lawyers take the actions needed to identify them. This includes:

• Working with local law enforcement officials to get the word out among the public;
• Interviewing witnesses from the scene, who may have seen the driver;
• Obtaining surveillance footage from nearby stores or traffic signals, which can help identify the vehicle;
• Visiting local mechanic shops, where the driver may have gone for repairs.
