Pedestrian Injuries in San Bernardino & Riverside

While an accident involving a pedestrian and vehicle can happen anywhere, incidents are most likely to occur at intersections, in parking lots, in crosswalks, and on the side of the road. When a driver fails to share the road responsibly and is not aware of nearby pedestrians, there is a significant risk of serious personal injury or death.

Injured pedestrians may experience a significant range of injuries. Typically, the faster the car was going at the time of impact, the more severe the injuries. Some of the most common injuries pedestrian accident victims face include broken bones, soft tissue damage, road rash, spinal cord injuries, and head trauma.

In the event you are involved in a pedestrian crash, the steps you take next will likely depend on the severity of your injuries. If you are able to, contact emergency services to seek medical attention as soon as possible. If you are unable to make the call, the driver or a witness will likely call.

No matter the extent of your injuries, you should have the chance to pursue compensation for your losses. You may be dealing with medical bills, lost wages, property loss, and physical or mental pain and suffering. When you work with a San Bernardino & Riverside pedestrian injury attorney at DeWitt Algorri & Algorri, we will thoroughly explain your legal rights and options so you have the best chance of pursuing a successful claim.

The Benefits of Working With an Attorney

You may consider pursuing a personal injury claim on your own. While you have every right to do so, it is crucial to understand the benefits of working with an attorney. When you speak legal representation, you will be able to confidently move forward with your claim with help from well-versed attorneys who can fairly value your claim.

Your attorney will conduct a thorough investigation of your accident. They will use the information collected to determine what your case is worth. They will help you handle negotiations with the insurance company, so you don’t have to worry about saying something that could jeopardize your compensation.

In the event the insurance company denies your claim or tries to offer you less than you are owed, your attorney can explain the litigation process, and you can decide if you want to move forward with a lawsuit. We understand the challenges pedestrian accident victims face, and we are prepared to take whatever measures necessary to ensure you have the best chance to get your life back in order.

Understanding the Statute of Limitations

Like all personal injury claims, pedestrian accident claims are subject to a statute of limitations. A statute of limitations essentially limits the amount of time you have to take legal action after an accident. While the statute of limitations for your claim may vary, California law imposes a two-year statute of limitations on injury claims. If your injuries and damages were caused in whole or part by a public entity then you have six(6) months from the date of incident in which to file a claim. If that time were to pass without you taking action, you would render yourself ineligible for compensation. If you attempted to file a lawsuit, it is likely that it would be dismissed.

When you work with pedestrian accident attorney, you won’t have to worry about deadlines. Instead, you can focus on healing while your lawyer files the necessary paperwork on time. We understand the challenges of pursuing a successful claim, so we will be sure do you have everything in order for your approval well before any deadlines.
