Pedestrian Injury and Intersection Accidents
Although pedestrians must be careful when crossing an intersection or walking down a busy street, under California law they may nonetheless have the right of way in any given accident. Drivers have a duty to watch for pedestrians and drive responsibly to avoid a collision or accident. When a pedestrian is hit by a motor vehicle, the consequences are often devastating. At Fores Macko, our attorneys are experienced in representing and helping the victims of pedestrian accidents and injuries. We take an aggressive and strategic approach to protect your rights and maximize compensation after an accident.
Pedestrians are the most vulnerable people on the roads. When you have suffered as a result of driver negligence, call 209-568-4106 to protect your right to recovery. Contact us today.
Pedestrian right of way in California
Many pedestrian victims do not know their rights after an accident or injury. If you or someone you love has suffered after being struck by a motor vehicle, you may wonder, "what are my rights?" or "was it my responsibility to get out of the way?" You have rights as a pedestrian. Our attorneys will carefully evaluate the facts of your case and determine whether you have a claim. We will identify every potential defendant and aggressively pursue compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and long term care needs as appropriate.
We are experienced with claims involving:
- Car accidents
- Truck accidents
- Motorcycle accidents
- Brain and spinal injuries
- Wrongful death
- Complex insurance disputes
- Hit and run
- Crosswalk injury
Pedestrian accidents and complex insurance claims
Many pedestrian accidents raise insurance questions and disputes, especially where fault is difficult to determine. Cases may be even more complicated where the pedestrian was an elderly person or a child, and may bear some responsibility. We have experience in resolving intersection and cross walk claims, jay walking claims, and other cases where some liability may be allocated to the pedestrian. Even if you think the accident was partially your fault, you may still be entitled to some recovery.
