Common Causes of Vehicle-Pedestrian Collisions in Paso Robles

• Texting while driving
• Talking on a cell phone while driving

Steps to Take After a Vehicle-Pedestrian Collision

• Call 911: The most important step in any accident is to immediately seek the medical treatment you need.
• Speak with the driver: At a minimum, collect the other driver’s contact and insurance information.
• Document your injuries: While the incident is still unfolding, take as many photos and videos as you can.
• Contact eyewitnesses: Their accounts of the accident may be critical down the road.

How Will My Paso Robles Pedestrian Accident Attorney Prove Liability?

Depending on what caused the accident, our attorneys will employ a variety of case building strategies. We understand the laws governing both motorists and pedestrians and will build an argument that is tailored to the unique circumstances of your case. Generally, your lawyer will look for the following evidence:

• Dashcam recordings
• Footage from traffic light cameras
• The police report
• The driver’s cell phone records
• Photos of the accident scene and your injuries
• Your medical records
• Eyewitness testimony
• Expert witness opinions

If you were at fault – or partially at fault – for your accident (for instance, if you were jaywalking when you were hit), the law of “comparative negligence” entitles you to pursue damages. Although your reward will be reduced by the percentage to which you were at fault, you may still be able to walk away with some compensation. For example, if you were 60% responsible for your accident and the liable party was 40% responsible, you can recover up to 40% of your total economic and non-economic damages.
