Orange County Pedestrian Accident Attorney

Were you injured in a pedestrian accident?

In a pedestrian-car accident, the pedestrian undoubtedly loses. Even a low speed impact could be fatal. While pedestrians can be at fault for ignoring traffic signals, allowing their children to run in front of traffic, jaywalking and not paying attention, more often it is the motorist that fails to observe traffic warnings or is inattentive. A motorist can be at fault for failing to observe a crosswalk, driving recklessly in crowded areas such as school zones and around parking lots, driving under the influence, passing when it is illegal and ignoring the requirements of a school bus.

If you or a loved one has been the victim of a pedestrian accident, first seek medical attention. It is important to be seen by a physician if you experience any pain or suffering as a result of the accident. In addition, you should contact the police. Beyond the civil suit, the negligent driver may be facing criminal charges for reckless driving. For this reason, it is highly encouraged that you consult with a committed Orange County personal injury lawyer who can help you get the compensation you deserve.
