California Pedestrian Injury Lawyers

California is a state known for pleasant weather and a multitude of tourists. Match these two things together and you are bound to encounter plenty of accidents involving pedestrians. Road and building construction can also be a factor that increases the odds of all types of accidents including pedestrian-related injuries, as can freeways. If you or a loved one has been injured as a pedestrian in California, it's in your interest to contact an experienced California pedestrian injury lawyer as soon as you can. At the Sacramento law firm of Demas & Rosenthal, we have decades of combined experience with cases like yours, and it's our mission to fight vigorously to get you the compensation you deserve.

Our California pedestrian injury lawyers are well versed in the legal steps that should be taken after a pedestrian accident. Our previous work within this specialized field means that we have the experience necessary to navigate the legal process to your benefit. Don't let an insurance company settle with you without legal advice; you may get far less than you need or deserve. At Demas & Rosenthal, we'll look out for your long-term interests so that you don't regret settling for a minimal amount that doesn't really cover your needs.

If you have received an injury as a result of a pedestrian accident, get thorough medical and police documentation of the case, or have someone else gather the information on your behalf. Remember that you should be sure to contact a lawyer well before the statute of limitations runs out. Also, the sooner you seek legal help after such an incident, the more effective your legal help will be. We will strive to prove negligence on the part of the driver or other responsible party. In most cases of pedestrian injury, it can be effectively proven that the responsible party failed to exercise due caution for the situation. Your claims can include medical damages, lost wages, and other elements. Even if your injuries don't seem to be severe, your lawyer can consult your medical records and doctors to ascertain if you might be at risk for long-term harm as a result of the injuries you suffered in your pedestrian accident.

Some common types of pedestrian accidents that our California pedestrian injury lawyers can help you with include: freeway-based pedestrian accidents, as when a car breaks down and the driver exits to obtain help only to be struck by a passing vehicle; driver error, such as failing to stop at a stop sign or failing to pay attention because of talking on a cell phone; or even failure on the part of a construction company to mark holes in the sidewalk or similar hazards.

We don't think of taking a walk as being an especially risky activity, yet thousands of pedestrians are injured or killed every year in the U.S. If you or your loved one has been injured, fatally or not, don't hesitate to contact the experienced attorneys at Demas & Rosenthal for help with your case.
