Pedestrian Accident
Pedestrian Accident
It is well-known that many pedestrian accidents, injuries, and even deaths occur every day in Southern California. Whether it is due to the increased dependency on smartphones, illegal speeding, or the vast number of drivers on the road every day, more and more cars, trucks, motorcycles, and people must share the road. Therefore, every day pedestrians are more likely to suffer an accident in Southern California. With the increase of pedestrian accidents, The Law Office of Alberto Lopez stands ready to represent you and your family for any injuries you may sustain from your accident.
Unlike other accidents, pedestrian accidents are often catastrophic and even deadly. Along with catastrophic injury, victims have to deal with stacks of medical bills, lost income, and pain and suffering. The Law Office of Alberto Lopez recognizes that pedestrian accidents can be an emotionally devastating and serious accident.
Generally, drivers have a legal and moral duty to avoid hitting pedestrians and causing catastrophic injury. However, most pedestrian accident victims do not know what to do after an accident. At The Law Office of Alberto Lopez, we want to empower our clients with all the necessary information needed to fight for justice. Our Los Angeles pedestrian accident attorney and legal team are here to discuss your case to help you understand your options. If someone’s negligence caused an accident and injuries followed, you deserve compensation.
The laws of the State of California protect pedestrians. According to California Vehicle Code 21950, all drivers “shall yield to the right-of-way to a pedestrian crossing the roadway within any marked crosswalk or within any marked crosswalk at an intersection.” Our pedestrian accident attorney and legal team will use our experience and knowledge of the law if you are injured by a car while crossing at a curb or crosswalk as a pedestrian.
If you suffered an accident as a pedestrian and experienced serious bodily injuries, you deserve compensation. However, it can be difficult, if not impossible, to get the compensation you deserve without proper legal representation. The Law Office of Alberto Lopez recognizes that financial compensation for the damages you suffered is a very important step in helping accident victims get back on their feet, that is why we will fight tirelessly for our clients so they get the justice they deserve.
