Irvine Pedestrian Accident Lawyer

Anyone who spends a lot of time walking near and across the roads of Orange County knows how careless many motor vehicle drivers can be when it comes to seeing pedestrians or even looking for them in the first place. Unfortunately, even if you are as careful and considerate as any pedestrian possibly could be, you can still suffer serious injuries in a collision caused by a negligent driver.

You should strongly consider contacting a skilled personal injury attorney sooner rather than later if you have any intention of seeking civil compensation for the harm you have suffered through your accident. State civil law can be much less friendly to personal injury plaintiffs than you might expect, and working with our Irvine pedestrian accident lawyer could be key to getting the most money possible from your claim.

Who Could Be at Fault for a Pedestrian Collision?

Just like most other injury lawsuits, civil claims built around pedestrian accidents typically center around a specific irresponsible act by the defendant named in their claim. Most of the time, this means that the outcome of a pedestrian crash case depends on how much high-quality evidence the pedestrian can present showing that a driver struck and injured them specifically because they committed a traffic violation, were driving while drunk or high, or simply were not paying attention behind the wheel.

However, in some situations, there may be more than one person who holds civil fault for this kind of incident, many of whom may not have been directly involved in the actual crash at all. For instance, if a driver ends up hitting a pedestrian in part because their brakes unexpectedly failed, our Irvine pedestrian accident attorney could help take legal action against a mechanic who failed to replace those faulty brakes, the manufacturer who made those defective brakes, and anyone else who indirectly contributed to causing the wreck.

Getting Paid Fairly for Short-Term and Long-Term Losses

While money alone cannot make up for the harm a pedestrian crash can cause, it can do a lot to reduce the negative impact of specific economic and non-economic losses stemming from the wreck, including:

Medical expenses
Personal property damage
Lost work income and working capacity
Disability-related expenses for things like crutches, wheelchairs, or home and vehicle modifications
Physical pain and discomfort
Emotional trauma and distress
Lost enjoyment and quality of life

Importantly, it is possible to recover in advance for expected future losses that will not fully manifest until years or even decades after the initial accident, in addition to past losses that have already occurred by the time the claim begins. Support from our practiced lawyers in Irvine can be key to identifying, valuing, and proactively demanding restitution for every negative effect of a pedestrian collision.

Contact Our Irvine Pedestrian Accident Attorney for Help

Collisions between motor vehicles and pedestrians almost always lead to serious injuries for the pedestrian involved while often causing no injury at all to the driver who struck them. Despite that inherent imbalance, the fact that you were hit by a car while walking will not be enough on its own for a court to side with you during a lawsuit and compel that car’s driver to pay for your damages.

Instead, you will need to be able to prove fault for your accident through settlement negotiations or a formal lawsuit, both of which our Irvine pedestrian accident lawyer could provide irreplaceable assistance with. Call today to learn more about your recovery options.
