Serious Injuries Are Common in Southern California Pedestrian Accidents

Most pedestrians do not have any defense when a vehicle strikes them. Devastating and catastrophic injuries are not unusual in these collisions, although some people suffer relatively moderate or minor injuries. Our team sees a wide range of severities and types of injuries after pedestrian accidents. Examples include:

Traumatic brain injuries (TBIs)
Other head or facial injuries, including concussions
Spinal cord injuries
Other neck or back injuries
Internal injuries and bleeding
Fractures, compound breaks, and crush injuries
Amputations
Serious cuts and abrasions
Burns, scarring, and disfigurement

If your injuries were severe after a pedestrian vs. car crash, you likely went to the nearest trauma center or emergency department via ambulance. Your primary concern early on should be your own health. You need to fight to stabilize your injuries and receive the necessary treatment and rehabilitation.

But Do Not Wait Too Long to Seek Legal Representation

You must not wait too long to consider your legal case and how you will pay for your medical care and other expenses. As soon as your injuries allow—or as soon as an immediate family member can seek help on your behalf—contact our pedestrian accident team.

At KJT Law Group, we can review your case and get to work on investigating what happened and building your insurance claim immediately. From there, you can trust us to take care of everything while you focus on healing.

Seeking Damages to Pay for Your Medical Care, Lost Wages, and More

When our Los Angeles personal injury lawyers represent a client in a pedestrian accident case, we pursue justice for them by holding the at-fault party legally responsible for their expenses and losses. We take steps to identify both economic and non-economic damages and demand compensation from the liable party or their insurer. Most of these cases settle successfully out of court. The recoverable damages in a Southern California pedestrian accident case may include:

Pain and suffering
Other non-economic damages
Medical care, including estimated future and ongoing expenses
Lost income from all sources, including wages, tips, commissions, and more
Diminished earning capacity
Property damage
Other related expenses with documentation

We handle wrongful death claims on behalf of our clients as well. If your loved one died from their pedestrian accident injuries, we are here to help your family hold the at-fault driver legally responsible for their carelessness or recklessness.

Developing a Pedestrian Accident Case in Los Angeles

At KJT Law Group, our Los Angeles pedestrian accident attorneys can help you understand your rights as a pedestrian and take action to hold the driver who caused your accident legally responsible. If you were hurt by a driver’s negligence, you have a right to seek and recover compensation to pay for your care and help you live with any lasting injuries. We know how to investigate these cases to determine fault and identify all potentially liable parties. In most cases, the liable party is the at-fault driver. However, it could also be the company that employs the driver, the agency that maintains the roadway, or another party.

Common Causes of Pedestrian Accidents

Some common causes of pedestrian accidents include:

Drug or alcohol use
Distracted driving
Fatigued or drowsy driving
Speeding
Failure to follow traffic rules

These collisions most commonly occur:

In intersections when the driver is turning
In crosswalks when the driver fails to stop for the pedestrian
In parking lots when the driver does not look before backing up
On narrow roads when the driver does not leave enough room to safely pass the pedestrian

Filing an Insurance Claim

We often help our clients file an insurance claim to recover compensation for their injuries and treatment costs. We base this claim on the at-fault driver’s auto liability coverage. According to the State of California Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV), all California drivers must carry:

$15,000 bodily injury coverage per person
$30,000 bodily injury coverage per accident
$5,000 property damage coverage

Our team can build your case and present it to the at-fault driver’s insurance company, demanding a fair and just payout based on the estimated value of your damages. Then we negotiate with them to reach a settlement.

Filing a Lawsuit

Under some circumstances, filing a lawsuit against the at-fault driver may be necessary. We will discuss this process with you if needed in your case. We can handle all aspects of the legal case, including developing a solid argument and representing your best interests in court. Our pedestrian accident lawyers in Los Angeles must begin a lawsuit before the second anniversary of the crash, based on the deadline set by CCP § 335.1. You could lose the right to sue if we do not stick to this timeline, along with any leverage during settlement negotiations. For this reason, we encourage you to contact us as soon as possible.
