Pedestrian injuries and fatalities occur quite frequently in the United States, with recent statistics showning that one pedestrian is killed in a traffic accident every 111 minutes. Pedestrians are at a higher risk for injury and death than any other nonoccupant group involved in an auto accident. In fact, almost 90% of nonoccupant fatalities are pedestrians, not cyclists or skateboarders. Therefore, pedestrians need to take extra caution to protect themselves from injury and death while traveling on our roads and streets. But, at times, this is not enough to keep from being involved in an accident.

Regardless of who was at fault in the accident, victims should seek the counsel of an experienced California pedestrian accident lawyer. To protect your legal rights following severe injury or the wrongful death of a loved one involved in a serious motor vehicle collision, it is generally wise to consult an experienced personal injury law firm as soon as possible. Within the first week, important physical evidence can be lost, and witnesses may become hard to find.

Motor vehicle collisions cause extraordinary suffering and loss to motorists, passengers and pedestrians. Injured victims face medical bills, lost wages, pain, suffering and loss of enjoyment of life. Family members of deceased victims suffer economic loss, mental anguish and loss of companionship.

In the event of death, families are torn apart without warning. At Bisnar | Chase we will promptly investigate a crash, determine fault, and seek to recover all legal damages and achieve the best results.

Here is some important advice for anyone involved in a traffic accident:

THINGS YOU SHOULD DO AFTER AN ACCIDENT HAS OCCURRED:

  • Insist that a report be filed with the police, sheriff or highway patrol.

  • Obtain the name, address, insurance information, vehicle license number and driver's license number of any and all other persons involved in the accident. Also get the names, addresses and telephone numbers of all witnesses.

  • Photograph the accident scene, including all vehicles involved (before repairing) and any visible injuries (cuts, bruises).

  • Talk to no one about the accident or injuries other than your doctor or lawyer, especially not an insurance adjuster.

  • Sign nothing without consulting a lawyer. Truthful statements made in an attempt to be helpful can easily be misinterpreted and turned against you.

  • Seek medical attention and tell your physician or surgeon exactly how the injury occurred and describe all symptoms and complaints.

  • Be sure to report memory problems, confusion or disorientation, however minor these things may seem at the time.
