Pedestrian Accident Lawsuits
In a collision involving a motor vehicle and a pedestrian, the pedestrian is at serious risk of suffering a catastrophic injury – including a traumatic brain injury or spinal cord injury – or being killed. In 2006, there were 4,784 pedestrians killed and 61,000 injured in traffic accidents in the United States. The NHTSA reports that a pedestrian is injured in a traffic accident every 8 minutes in America, and every 108 minutes a pedestrian is killed. In total, pedestrian fatalities account for roughly 11 percent of the total number of traffic fatalities a year.
At the R. Rex Parris Law Firm located in Lancaster, our pedestrian accident attorneys and personal injury lawyers serving Palmdale and Santa Clarita can help if you or a loved one has been struck by a motor vehicle. Motorists have an obligation to exercise caution and be mindful of pedestrians when driving in an area where there may be bystanders. Unfortunately, many people pay little attention to pedestrians and lack an understanding of and appreciation for a pedestrian's right of way. Unfortunately, this woeful disregard for the safety of others means that thousands are needlessly injured every year. You have legal rights, including a right to financial compensation, if you or a loved one has been injured in an accident.

How Our Pedestrian Accident Attorneys Can Help
If you have been injured, our diligent and understanding pedestrian accident attorneys can help you through the complicated process of filing a personal injury lawsuit. It may be possible, depending on the circumstances, to file suit against the driver who struck you as well as the municipality in which the accident occurred. If the road lacked a cross-walk or a caution sign was missing or obstructed, it may be possible to hold local government institutions liable. We will work tirelessly to see that you obtain the compensation that you are entitled to, including compensation for medical costs (plus related future medical costs), loss of wages, and pain and suffering. If a loved one has been killed in a pedestrian accident, our compassionate attorneys have the experience needed to file a wrongful death lawsuit against the negligent party. If it can be shown that the liable party showed a wanton disregard for the safety of others, it may be possible to seek punitive damages as well.
