Bay Area Pedestrian Accident Lawyer

Man verses machine. When a walker, jogger, bicyclist or other pedestrian is struck by a moving vehicle, the outcome is preordained. People suffer serious and catastrophic injuries when hit by a car or other motor vehicle, due to the size and force of the impact from vehicle. Many of these accidents result in fatalities.

Protect Yourself from Serious Injury

Many accidents occur because a roadway is insufficiently lit and the driver fails to see the pedestrian. It is important that pedestrians and bicyclists take every precaution necessary to protect themselves from injury. Pedestrians and bicyclists should wear reflective gear and helmets, use crosswalks where available, should use a light on their bikes at night and should be aware of the laws of the road.

Even when pedestrians and bicyclists follow all traffic laws and taking every precaution available, serious accidents still occur. Negligent drivers fail to observe traffic laws, fail to see pedestrians or folks on bikes, fail to yield and simply drive recklessly. More recently, people have been involved in pedestrian accidents involving hybrid vehicles due to the lack of noise made by the approaching vehicle.

When dangerous drivers are on the road, fatal accidents and catastrophic injuries can result. Our firm is experienced handling the most severe pedestrian injuries, including:

• Traumatic brain injuries and head injuries
• Spinal cord injuries
• Complex or compound fractures
• Amputation
• Severe disfigurement
• Other disabling injuries

People injured in a pedestrian accident or bicycle accident often face a considerable amount of emotional trauma above and beyond any physical injuries. In addition, it may be necessary to take time away from work to rehabilitate and cope. Our firm is committed to investigating the car accident and pursuing all avenues of liability. We focus on maximizing our client's compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering.

When applicable, we also bring product liability claims (such as for a defective device in the bicycle) and uninsured motorist claims (such as after a hit-and-run accident).
