Pedestrian Accidents in California

Drivers almost always owe a duty of care to pedestrians. As well, drivers owe a duty to other automobile drivers and cyclists who are sharing the road. Driver negligence can be created by traffic violations, distracted driving, or other negligence. A common cause of vehicle/pedestrian incidents involves the driver failing to yield the right-of-way to a pedestrian.

Pedestrians can be hit and injured by cars, bikes, or even an unfettered dog. Because there is no protection between a pedestrian and the ground, even minor pedestrian accidents can cause serious injuries. If you’ve been injured in a pedestrian accident, you can file for damages include compensation for medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering by hiring an attorney.

When you are injured by another vehicle, you have many rights. Bringing forward a claim for damages will help you recover without worrying about medical expenses. As well, if a family member was killed in an accident, you can file a wrongful claim for such expenses as funeral costs. Brady Law Group is able to help you during this difficult time.
