Pedestrian Accident Attorney

We don’t have to tell you that California roads and streets are becoming more and more crowded. Not just with trucks, automobiles and motorcycles but with pedestrians as well.

Each year, thousands of pedestrians are either injured or killed in pedestrian traffic accidents in California. In some cases, these accidents are caused by careless behavior on the part of the pedestrian. However, the majority of these accidents are the result of drivers whose negligent actions place pedestrians at risk.

If you were injured by a negligent driver while out for a walk or run, the law says you have the right to seek compensation for those injuries from the responsible parties. Before you speak to their insurance company representative, call the personal injury lawyers of the Law Offices of Scott Dinsmore, APC.

In some cases, accidents occur when pedestrians are unable to stick to sidewalks or walking paths due to potholes, standing water or obstructions such as tree limbs and parked vehicles and are forced out onto the street. Under these circumstances, more than one party may be responsible for your injuries. The parties responsible for maintaining the sidewalk or street where the accident took place may also share liability for the accident.

Even when the pedestrian is partially at fault, they may still be able to recover damages for their injuries. Under California’s comparative fault rules, a pedestrian injured in a traffic accident could still be entitled to recover partial compensation from the other negligent parties.
