Is A Pedestrian Accident Attorney Necessary For This Case?
A pedestrian accident can get complicated by the same things that complicate a regular car accident. Often, a pedestrian accident attorney in Santa Ana is necessary to deal with an at-fault driver’s aggressive insurance company. Your attorney will be your advocate and work to obtain all of the evidence related to the crash. This will include evidence from the initial incident:
- Eyewitness accounts
- Police reports
- Videos and photos from the scene
Your Santa Ana pedestrian accident attorney will work with economic and medical experts to properly calculate your total damages and work to negotiate a fair settlement.
How Often Do Pedestrian Accidents Occur?
According to the California Office of Traffic Safety (OTS), the average number of annual pedestrian fatalities over the latest five years of data is 811. In 2017, there were 15,200 total pedestrian injuries across the state. Injuries from these incidents can be severe and often include:
- Broken and dislocated bones
- Severe lacerations
- Internal organ damage
- Internal bleeding
- Spinal cord injuries
- Traumatic brain injuries
- Concussions
Pedestrian accident victims often need extensive medical care that can reach into the tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars. If a victim cannot work, they could lose the income they need to support themselves and their families.
In many cases, pedestrian accidents are caused by the carelessness or negligence of vehicle drivers:
- Impaired drivers
- Distracted drivers
- Drivers failing to yield the right-of-way
Pedestrians do not have any protection from the force of a vehicle slamming into them. In most cases, victims suffer two injury-causing impacts – one with the vehicle and one with the ground.
