Injuries Commonly Sustained in Pedestrian Accidents
Any accident can potentially result in injuries, but motor vehicle accidents involving pedestrians can be incredibly serious due to their level of vulnerability and lack of protection. Some of the injuries pedestrians commonly suffer from in such incidents include:
- Broken bones
- Spinal cord damage
- Traumatic brain injuries
- Nerve damage
- Internal bleeding
- Severe cuts or lacerations
The severity of these injuries will depend on many factors, such as the vehicle’s speed, its angle of impact, where it struck the pedestrian, the design of the vehicle, and where the accident occurred.
Liability in Pedestrian Accidents
California has many right-of-way laws, which are heavily aimed toward protecting pedestrians and could help prove that a driver is liable for an accident. In addition to right-of-way laws, proof that the driver acted negligently is also necessary in this type of personal injury case. Examples of driver negligence in a pedestrian accident case include:
- Driving over the speed limit or at a speed too dangerous for road conditions
- Driving while fatigued
- Driving while distracted by a cellphone or other device
- Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs
- Other reckless driving behavior
To successfully prove that a driver is liable for your injuries, it is crucial to have an experienced personal injury attorney on your side. At Triumph Law, P.C., our experienced Sacramento pedestrian accident attorney will assist you in gathering crucial evidence that will help prove liability.
Recovering Damages in a Pedestrian Accident Case
Every pedestrian accident case will vary in value since no two cases are alike. This is another reason why contacting an experienced pedestrian accident attorney in Sacramento is so crucial. Attorney Carichoff will be able to examine the facts of your case and estimate its value. Generally, pedestrian accident victims are able to recover compensation for:
- Present and future medical expenses
- Lost time from work and missed wages
- Loss of future earning capacity
- Pain and suffering
To accurately determine the approximate value of your case, all of these factors must be examined.
