There are thousands of pedestrians injured in California every year, and very often, this is because motorists failed to obey the right-of-way laws designed to protect pedestrians. Pedestrian versus vehicle collisions are often devastating to the pedestrian and his or her family, and can result in catastrophic injuries and wrongful death, and huge medical bills. A successful personal injury claim for a pedestrian accident can result in financial compensation for all of the victim’s losses, including medical bills, lost wages, loss of earning potential, pain and suffering, the cost of surgery, hospitalization, rehabilitation, permanent injuries and other related damages. Damages that can be recovered for the victim of a pedestrian accident can also include funeral costs, medical expenses, lost future income and loss of love and companionship in the event of wrongful death.

The victim of a pedestrian accident may be able to recover from not only the driver of the vehicle that hit the pedestrian, but also possibly other drivers, the driver’s employer, the government or city or county if there was a defective roadway, traffic light or other dangerous conditions, the owner of the property if the pedestrian accident occurred on private property, and even the vehicle manufacturer and others if a defect in the vehicle contributed to the accident. These can be complex cases and it is essential to contact a personal injury attorney immediately to protect your rights.
