Compensation for Pedestrian Accident Victims
If you were hit by a car because of someone else’s negligence, recklessness or intentional conduct, you may receive pedestrian accident compensation. Usually, this is the vehicle driver committing a traffic error.
If the accident was not your fault, there is a good chance that you have a legal claim.
You might think that accidents are simply accidents – that they don’t qualify for compensation. That isn’t true.
Under California law, the party who causes an accident must pay for it. It isn’t fair that innocent victims should suffer the losses on their own. You may seek compensation if a pedestrian accident is the result of wrongful conduct, including driving carelessly or violating a traffic law.
Examples of Causes and Liability for Pedestrian Accidents
Here are some reasons another party may be at fault for a pedestrian accident:
- Trying to make a turn when a pedestrian is crossing in a crosswalk
- Ignoring a stop sign or light to blow through an intersection, when a person on-foot is present
- Driving too close to the shoulder or sidewalk when there are people there
- Hitting the gas instead of the brakes and driving up on the sidewalk
- Improper backing up or maneuvering in a parking lot
- Not stopping for a pedestrian crosswalk when required
- Failing to pay attention when driving in areas with crowds
- Brake failures, not having working headlights, other mechanical issues
- Intentional harm, assault and battery, homicide and attempted homicide
Pedestrian accidents may have underlying causes like drunk driving, texting while driving or driving while fatigued. Our lawyers investigate what happened and determine where legal fault may exist for you to claim compensation.
What Is My Pedestrian Accident Case Worth?
Pedestrian accident victims are often severely injured. Even at a low speed, being hit by a car can be devastating. Victims may experience:
- Broken bones
- Traumatic brain injury, concussion
- Soft tissue damage
- Road rash
- Spinal cord injury, paralysis
- Dislocations
- Burns, scars and disfigurement
- PTSD, anxiety and depression
Physical and mental injuries can devastate your ability to work. The value of your case depends on your economic and non-economic losses. The strength of the legal claim and insurance policies available to satisfy a judgment can influence the amount of compensation you receive.
Types of compensation
You may claim compensation for:
- Costs for medical care, evaluation, treatment and supplies
- Travel for medical treatment and care
- Property damage
- Lost wages, benefits, long-term earning potential
- Costs of household care and domestic services
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional anguish
- Scars and permanent bodily disfigurement
- Lifestyle damage from physical and mental limitations
While you hope to recover quickly from a pedestrian accident, healing may take significant time. You suffer financially, emotionally and physically. Compensation should account for all losses.
