San Francisco Pedestrian Accident Attorney

Talk With A Reputable And Skilled Pedestrian Accident Lawyer

Pedestrians are completely vulnerable and therefore suffer a vastly disproportionate amount of severe injuries and wrongful death when an accident involving a motor vehicle occurs. Approximately 4,375 pedestrians were killed, and 69,000 pedestrians suffered injuries, in U.S. traffic accidents in 2008, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. Pedestrian accidents raise unique issues, and may involve pedestrians or joggers who are struck in a crosswalk, sideswiped by a motor vehicle, struck while in a parking lot, struck while exiting a bus or car, or otherwise injured or killed by a driver who is at fault.  All too often, drivers are inattentive to the presence of pedestrians and don’t sufficiently look in the direction their car is traveling.

When a pedestrian accident occurs, the pedestrian has the same right to seek financial compensation as any motorist. Just like other accidents involving motor vehicles, it is important to hire an aggressive and knowledgeable attorney familiar with the unique issues involved in pedestrian accidents and pedestrian injuries, who will conduct a prompt investigation of the accident and your injuries, who has credibility with auto insurance companies, and who will work tirelessly to obtain for you the compensation to which you are entitled.

Should I wait before contacting a pedestrian accident attorney?

If you or a loved one has been in a pedestrian accident, it is extremely important to talk to a qualified pedestrian accident attorney immediately. If you wait too long to speak with a lawyer, evidence in your case may be lost, witnesses may disappear, and insurance companies may take advantage of you. Once the Law Office Of Daniel H. Rose accepts your pedestrian accident injury claim, an investigation is immediately begun and swift action is taken to secure and preserve evidence relevant to your claim.

In a pedestrian accident claim, what compensation can I receive?

The Law Office Of Daniel H. Rose has a distinguished reputation for obtaining for its clients the compensation and accountability they rightfully deserve. An injured pedestrian can recover all of the same types of damages that someone injured in a car accident or bicycle accident would be entitled to recover, including past and future medical expenses, lost earnings and earning potential, pain and suffering, loss of enjoyment of life, emotional distress, loss of parental or spousal financial support, loss of spousal relations, property damage, incidental expenses, and other types of physical, economic, and sometimes even punitive damages that result from the accident. We work extremely hard to maximize your damage recovery, and endeavor to relieve you of as much burden and hassle as possible so you may put all of your energy towards healing.

Do I really need a pedestrian accident lawyer?

Many pedestrian accident victims think that they can resolve their injury claim directly with the other party’s insurance company rather than hire a pedestrian accident lawyer.  Most who try to do this on their own end up regretting doing so.  When an injured pedestrian is not represented by a qualified pedestrian accident attorney, the insurance company, which is in the business of paying out as little as possible, will usually lead the victim to believe they will be dealt with fairly and adequately compensated.  However, the reality is that insurance companies will usually take advantage of the unrepresented party and end up offering them a grossly insufficient settlement amount.  Do not fall for this tactic, and do not allow the insurance company to take a recorded statement from you or induce you to sign any papers or see their doctors.  Turn over all matters very early to a Bay Area personal injury lawyer who will zealously protect your interests.

We collect no fees or expenses unless we recover damages for you by way of settlement or verdict.
