Common Causes of Pedestrian Accidents in Los Angeles

Distracted Driving

Drunk or Drugged Driving
Driving a passenger vehicle with a blood alcohol concentration above 0.08 (.04 for CDL drivers who are operating a commercial vehicle), or under the influence of any mind-altering substance such as marijuana, prescription drugs, or other intoxicants, is prohibited by law in the state of California and the United States altogether. If you suspect that the driver is under the influence of alcohol or other drugs, make sure that you tell the police at the scene about this suspicion. They will likely perform a battery of tests anyway to confirm that alcohol or drugs were or were not part of the crash, but it is still important that you point out your own concerns to ensure that they check. Any citations or an arrest on the accident report will go heavily in your favor during your personal injury claim.Poor Weather Conditions
Although LA is known for sunny weather (284 days per year, on average), this means that LA drivers have less experience driving in adverse weather conditions and may be prone to speed or otherwise driving in a way that limits their control over their vehicle. This reckless behavior, combined with reduced visibility, can lead to dangerous conditions for drivers and pedestrians alike. The driver’s insurance company may claim that the weather conditions equate to less fault for their driver in some instances, but when you are being represented by an experienced and aggressive personal injury lawyer in Los Angeles, you can be confident that your case will be heard and properly represented as the insurance company tirelessly attempts to limit your settlement amount.Why Someone Might Need A Lawyer After a Pedestrian Accident

The following are just a few of the questions that we commonly answer during our free initial consultations with potential clients. We think that it is important that each prospective client has an opportunity to speak with our firm directly, without financial obligation, in order to understand their options, realize that there is a path forward, and learn about how we can help them get there. Keep in mind that the specific answers to your questions will vary depending on a range of details, but the following are intended to provide you with a general idea of how we will answer these questions.
Should I settle my case with the insurance company?
Personal injury cases rarely go to trial, meaning that they end in a settlement agreement between the involved parties either before or after a lawsuit is officially filed in the California courts. Many people incorrectly believe that they only need an attorney if they are going to file a full lawsuit, or will need to go to trial, but in reality, your attorney will be a valuable resource every step of the way.
When the insurance company makes its initial settlement offer following the claims investigation, it will be positioned as the best you can do or the total value of your situation. This is never the fact, though, and you will now need to begin a series of negotiations based on what you TRULY deserve for your accident.
How much is my case worth?
In order to determine the value of your injuries and accident, we will need to go through an ongoing investigation into the economic and non-economic impacts that your accident has had on your life. This includes the obvious impacts like medical bills, lost wages, and other measurable financial effects of your accident, but the reality is that your damages go far beyond bills and expenses.
In addition to calculating all of the measurable monetary effects of your accident, we will work to quantify your pain and suffering, as well as a variety of other “non-economic” factors that, while not easily calculated, are just as important as your medical expenses.
