Pedestrian Accident Lawyers

Southern California Pedestrian Accident Lawyers can help you with your claim

Pedestrian deaths are second only to occupant deaths in vehicular accidents. While crossing the street is an every day occurrence for many, it is not something that can be taken for granted. Every year, thousands of pedestrians are injured and killed. If you are injured, you may be eligible for compensation for your injuries. Be sure you get all the information you can about the accident. Secure any evidence available, find out the names and contact information of witnesses, and get the names and insurance information of the driver involved.

Witnesses to the accident are especially important to furnish evidence as to whose negligence caused the injuries. In general, pedestrians always have the right of way. You will likely be questioned at the accident scene and later by insurance investigators and/or police as to whether you used caution and diligence when crossing the street; whether you used proper crossing locations, etc. You may want to contact an attorney to assist you.

Davis & Associates, we are dedicated to helping injured victims who are suffering because of someone else’s negligence.  It is our belief that negligent people, companies and businesses deserve to be held accountable for their actions and a Southern California personal injury attorney from our firm will do whatever it takes to obtain justice for your injuries.

Most Common Causes of Pedestrian Accidents

Driver inattentiveness is the primary cause of most pedestrian accidents as well as bicycle accidents. A high percentage of pedestrian accidents happen at dusk and nighttime, when visibility is reduced. Pedestrians are at risk for serious injury in all accidents. A vehicle going only a few miles an hour can seriously injury a pedestrian or cause permanent disability or death. At Vincent W. Davis & Associates, we handle pedestrian accidents caused by:

Slip and Fall – Sidewalk Accidents – Premises Liability Matters

Thousands of pedestrians are injured every year in accidents not caused by automobiles. Some of these pedestrian accidents are caused by unmaintained parking lots, sideways, or bridges, or by lack of or poor property maintenance. Countless other injuries are caused by debris, falling objects or construction site accidents. Non-vehicular pedestrian accidents may have numerous responsible parties, including construction companies, property owners, and even government entities. If a property owner is responsible, an injured pedestrian may have a claim under premises liability law.
