Pedestrians are the most vulnerable road users. When a pedestrian is struck by a negligent driver, the results are often catastrophic or fatal. If you were injured in a pedestrian accident, you must take legal action. At Avaness Law, our pedestrian accident attorneys can guide you through the legal process, investigate your accident, and fight for your right to fair compensation.
As you focus on recovering from your injuries and moving forward with your life, let an experienced pedestrian accident lawyer on our legal team take on the insurance company and help you recover the compensation you deserve for an accident that was caused by the negligence of another.
Following a pedestrian accident, an attorney at Avaness Law can help you file a claim and will handle all communication with the insurance company, ensuring you recover the fair settlement you’re entitled to.
Other ways a pedestrian accident attorney can help include:
Your attorney will visit the scene of the accident to gather evidence that can support your claim, such as photos of the accident scene, anything that contributed to the accident, photos of your injuries, skid marks, etc.
They will gather other evidence, including:
Your attorney may consult with experts, such as accident reconstructionists, to prove liability. If you suffered severe injuries, they may also consult with life care planners, surgeons, forensic accountants, economists, and other experts, to determine the cost of future medical treatment, loss of earning capacity, or loss of future earnings.
An insurance company may contact you shortly after the accident, and offer a settlement. However, these initial settlement offers are usually never enough to cover the cost of accident-related losses. When you hire a pedestrian accident lawyer at Avaness Law, they will take over communication with the insurance company, preventing the claims adjuster from pressuring you or trying to intimidate you. Your attorney will negotiate with the claims adjuster, fighting for a settlement that will cover the cost of all of your accident-related losses.
If settlement negotiations are not successful, your pedestrian accident attorney will file a lawsuit on your behalf. Your attorney will only recommend filing a lawsuit if they believe you stand a better chance of recovering fair compensation in court. During this time, they will continue to negotiate with the insurance company. In most cases, pedestrian accident lawsuits are settled out of court. An insurance company is usually more willing to make a reasonable settlement offer once a lawsuit has been filed.

TESTIMONIALS
How much compensation you can recover after a pedestrian accident will depend on your prognosis, insurance policy limits, your level of fault, and many other variables.
In some cases, pedestrian accident victims can recover the following types of compensation:
And more.
In California, you will have two years from the date of the accident to file a lawsuit against the negligent party. If you miss this important deadline, your case may be dismissed and you will be unable to recover any compensation for your accident-related losses.
The most common causes of pedestrian accidents include:
Distracted driving remains a major problem all over the country. When a driver texts, talks on the phone, or participates in other activities that take their mind and focus off the road, it significantly increases the chances of being involved in a pedestrian accident.
When a motorist fails to yield or stop, a pedestrian can sustain severe injuries. Running a red light or stop sign, or failing to yield the right of way to a pedestrian can result in a fatal accident.
Speeding is one of the leading causes of pedestrian accidents. When a motorist speeds, they can lose control of their vehicle, may be unable to respond to changes in traffic, and may be unable to brake in time, putting pedestrians at risk.
Driving while under the influence of drugs or alcohol can cause poor judgment, can slow the driver’s reflexes, can cause blurry vision, and can result in a deadly pedestrian accident.
Common types of injuries pedestrians can sustain after being struck by a motorist include:
Road rash
Soft tissue damage
Traumatic brain injuries (TBIs)
Spinal cord damage
Loss of limb
Bone fractures/broken bones
Internal organ damage
Crush injuries
Facial injuries
Dental injuries
Vision loss
Chest injuries
Neck injuries
Back injuries
Leg and arm injuries
Nerve damage
