Each year, over 5,000 pedestrians die from serious pedestrian accidents—most due to the negligence of motorists. In addition, well over 78,000 pedestrians are seriously injured in accidents involving motorists. Further, numbers of pedestrians are severely injured in non-vehicular accidents every year. The numbers are astonishing.
Pedestrians become victims of negligence—legally defined as failing to act upon or respond to something as any person generally would in a similar situation. Negligence is considered when an individual causes a situation and avoids foreseeable risks which ultimately result in the serious injury or death of another. If you were seriously injured by a negligent motorist in Los Angeles or beyond, you may be able to get reimbursed for their injuries, expenses, and pain & suffering as a result of the collision.
If making a claim of negligence against another, your attorney must prove that:
- The negligent party has some legal responsibility to the victim under the circumstance.
- The negligent party failed to fulfill that legal responsibility by acting or failing to act.
- This action or lack of action ultimately caused your serious injury, making them liable.
Causes of Pedestrian Accidents:
- A motorist not observing a pedestrian’s right-of-way;
- Speeding motorists;
- A preoccupied motorist—not paying attention to the road;
- Disobeying traffic signals;
- Ignoring traffic signs;
- Motorists who fail to signal when switching lanes;
- Motorists driving without regard to weather or traffic conditions;
- Driving while intoxicated.
If you or a loved one have been victimized in a serious pedestrian accident, it is imperative that you seek the assistance of an experienced and aggressive Los Angeles personal injury attorney as soon as possible.
