Causes of Pedestrian Accidents: Driver Error

When a vehicle strikes a pedestrian, the victim may suffer life-threatening injuries. If you or a loved one is injured by a car, truck or motorcycle, our knowledgeable team of personal injury attorneys can help you file a lawsuit to recover your medical expenses and other damages.

Here are some of the common causes of pedestrian accidents:

  • Distracted driving. Now that smartphones and GPS devices are common, drivers have more temptations than ever to become distracted. Motorists who take their eyes off the road for even a moment can hit a pedestrian.
  • Disoriented drivers. San Francisco and the Bay Area are popular with tourists who are unfamiliar with the city’s roads, hills and crosswalks.
  • Reckless driving. Some drivers simply ignore traffic rules and regulations. Drivers who speed, run red lights and stop signs can easily hit pedestrians.

Filing a Lawsuit for Pedestrian Accident Injuries

Pedestrians injured by negligent drivers have the right to file a lawsuit to obtain compensation. Experienced accident attorneys can explain the damages you could claim.

Damages can include the cost of your medical care, lost earnings and diminished earning capacity. It can also include compensation for your pain and suffering.

Keep in mind that California is a comparative negligence state. This means the court reduces your damages in proportion to your percentage of responsibility for causing the accident.
