I Was Hit by a Car - What Next?

highly recommended personal injury attorneys in los angeles

When a pedestrian is hit by a car in Los Angeles, they may be entitled to financial compensation. This means that lost wages, medical bills, and more may be recoverable, allowing you to recover without drowning in debt. An auto pedestrian accident can be devastating not just to the victim, but to their family. This sort of accident can cause serious, life changing injuries that requires serious money to come back from.

Types of Compensation

All pedestrian accidents are unique and as such, every case will look different. The type of compensation you may be able to receive depends, in part, on your injuries. Victims who suffer severe injuries that result in major life changes and high medical bills should not delay in discussing their options with an experienced accident attorney in Los Angeles.

Pedestrian accident victims may be entitled to financial compensation for their bills for emergency medical care, ambulance bills, medical care, lost wages, temporary and permanent disability, rehab expenses, and even pain and suffering. For pedestrians who die, their families may be entitled to funeral expenses as well as loss of companionship and future financial support under a wrongful death claim.

In California, Do Pedestrians Have the Right of Way?

In many cases, the answer is yes. In fact, there are quite a few right of way laws for California pedestrians. A few of these laws include:

  • Pedestrians in California have the right of way
    when they are using a cross-walk, whether marked or unmarked at an
    intersection.
  • Both pedestrians and drivers of vehicles should
    take proper care to protect the pedestrian. For pedestrians, this can include
    using what is known as due care (for instance, you shouldn’t try to beat a
    vehicle into the intersection). For vehicles, they should reduce their rate of
    speed.
  • Other drivers should not attempt to go around a
    vehicle that is stopped because a pedestrian is in a cross-walk.

Talk to a Qualified California Attorney Right Away

We Stand Up To Greedy Insurance Companies

Get more compensation from your slip and fall injury with expert legal representation
best personal injury lawyer in LA
With over 40 years of experience, we have handled many slip and fall cases. I can provide you with the caliber of legal services that is normally available only to large companies, due to my experience in large-scale litigation that has resulted in awards of millions of dollars on many occasions. In 2014, Michael Ghozland was named “Street Fighter of the Year” by Consumer Attorneys of California in 2014. Because of my outstanding trial record, winning your case will probably mean obtaining a private settlement, with no need to ever step into a courtroom. Insurance companies know my reputation, and most of them would rather settle than face me in a slip and fall lawsuit.
