Pedestrian Accident Lawyers in Chino Hills Recovering Financial Compensation for Injured Clients

If you have been involved in a pedestrian accident and suffered a serious injury, you most likely are concerned about the financial toll that it is going to take on your life. The consequences to your future in relation to potentially being out of work, medical bills, and other costs associated with your accident can be overwhelming. Pedestrians are particularly defenseless to suffering injuries as they are not afforded the level of protection compared with individuals riding in a motor vehicle such as a car or a truck.

The Paris Law Firm has a proven track record of being able to get compensation for pedestrian accident victims in Chino Hills, CA, and the surrounding areas. We have a vast amount of experience in handling personal injury cases. Our law offices are passionately committed to obtaining fair compensation for our clients.

What are Common Pedestrian Accident Injuries in California?

Often when pedestrians have been injured in automobile accidents, the victim may not realize the extent of their injuries at first. If you have been injured in an auto accident, the first step that you should take is to seek medical attention immediately.

Depending on the height and shape of the vehicle that hit you, most impacts sustained by pedestrians impact the leg or hip area of the body. Depending on the speeds involved in the accident, the impact could cause a pedestrian to be thrown into the windshield or over the vehicle.

Some of the most common pedestrian injuries include the following:

  • Spinal cord injuries
  • Head trauma
  • Broken bones
  • Traumatic brain injuries
  • Crush injuries
  • Serious soft tissue injuries
  • Nerve damage
  • Amputations caused by the accident

What Must be Proven to Obtain Compensation for a Pedestrian Accident?

In order to obtain compensation for injuries, there are certain legal aspects of an accident that must have occurred in order for you to receive a settlement for your injuries.

  • The driver owed the pedestrian a duty of care.
  • Through their actions or inaction, the driver violated the duty of care that they owed to the pedestrian involved in the accident.
  • Those actions or inactions were the direct cause of the plaintiff’s injuries
  • Finally, the pedestrian suffered some degree of legally recognized injury.

All of these individual factors must be present as evidence that the motorist is responsible for the accident and the subsequent injuries. The most disputed portion of this type of personal injury claim generally occurs when the driver or insurance company chooses to dispute the fact that the vehicle operator violated the duty of care and caused the injuries.

This is when it is vital that you have a skilled accident lawyer working hard on your side. Based on the circumstances of the case, your attorney can provide potential evidence the driver was distracted, speeding, or failed to yield the right of way. In addition, your personal injury attorney from Southern CA can also produce evidence that the driver was cited in the accident, which may also work to strengthen your case.

The Paris Law Firm of Chino Hills, CA, has vast experience handling all matters pertaining to personal injury law. We are committed to helping you obtain the money that you deserve for your pain and suffering and other injuries as a result of your accident.

What Type of Damages Can I Recover?

When you have been a pedestrian and have been involved in a car accident, you are entitled to sue for damages under California law. These damages include the following:

Economic damages: Basically, these are damages that you sustained due to being injured in an accident and are considered to be the out-of-pocket expenses that you have had to pay or may have to pay in the future.

  • Past and future medical costs: this includes all other medical expenses related to your care, such as rehabilitation, medications, and surgeries.
  • Lost wages: This is meant to cover the earnings that you may have lost due to your inability to work in both the past and future.

Non-economic damages: These are damages that are mostly subjective in nature. Some of the potential compensation that you may be eligible to receive could include the of:

  • Pain and suffering: This type of compensation takes into account the physical pain and emotional trauma that you have suffered as a result of your injury.
  • Loss of enjoyment of life: This takes into account activities that you are no longer able to participate in as a result of your injuries.

Wrongful death: If your family member was a pedestrian and killed as a result of an accident with a car, you may be entitled to file a claim. It is important that you discuss your potential case with a pedestrian accident lawyer, as there are certain rules that apply to wrongful death lawsuits.

Why Should I Hire a Personal Injury Attorney to Help Me With My Pedestrian Accident Case?

It is important that you choose an accident attorney who has the necessary experience and qualifications to get the compensation you deserve for your medical costs and pain and suffering.
