Pedestrian Accident Lawyers in California
Walking should never be dangerous, yet pedestrian accidents are all too common on California’s busy streets. When a vehicle collides with a pedestrian, the results can be catastrophic. At Pilavjian Law, we are committed to protecting pedestrians’ rights and fighting for full and fair compensation for the injured and their families.
Why Pedestrian Accidents Are So Serious
Pedestrians have no protection against the force of a motor vehicle. Even low-speed impacts can cause devastating harm. Common causes of pedestrian accidents include:
- Distracted or reckless driving
- Speeding and failure to yield at crosswalks
- Driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol
- Unsafe road design or poor visibility
- Left-turn and right-turn accidents at intersections
These accidents often occur in places where pedestrians should feel safest—crosswalks, sidewalks, or parking lots.
Common Pedestrian Accident Injuries
Because of the lack of protection, pedestrian accidents frequently result in life-changing injuries, such as:
- Broken bones and fractures
- Head trauma and traumatic brain injuries (TBI)
- Spinal cord injuries and paralysis
- Internal organ damage
- Severe cuts, bruises, and disfigurement
- Wrongful death
These injuries not only require immediate medical attention but can also result in long-term physical, emotional, and financial challenges.
Compensation Available to Pedestrian Accident Victims
If you’ve been injured in a pedestrian accident, you may be entitled to compensation for:
- Medical expenses and rehabilitation costs
- Lost income and future earning potential
- Pain, suffering, and emotional distress
- Permanent disability or disfigurement
- Wrongful death benefits for surviving family members
Insurance companies often attempt to undervalue pedestrian accident claims, but Pilavjian Law knows how to fight for the compensation you truly deserve.
