Pedestrian accident injuries can upend your entire life. Since pedestrians lack any protection in collisions involving motor vehicles, they can suffer severe injuries that require ongoing medical care. You shouldn’t have to foot the bill when someone else is responsible for your injuries.
The Fresno pedestrian accident lawyers with Omega Law Group can handle your case while you rest and recover. We can seek fair compensation for a variety of damages, including medical bills and lost wages.
Call us today for a free consultation. Our Fresno personal injury lawyers can begin working on your case right away to help you meet any legal deadlines.
Pedestrian Accident Injuries May Warrant Substantial Compensation
Generally, the more severe your accident injuries are, the more compensation you can seek. Severe injuries often come with medical complications that can require years of treatment. Disabling injuries can also keep you from returning to work or even completing daily activities.
Your potential compensation should account for both current and ongoing accident-related losses. Our pedestrian accident lawyers in Fresno can assess your damages and seek recovery for both economic and non-economic losses.
Economic Damages
You may stand to recover a range of economic damages, such as:
- Immediate medical expenses, such as diagnostic testing, ambulatory care, hospital stays, surgeries
- Ongoing care costs, such as rehabilitative therapy, medication, and specialists
- Lost income, including missed bonuses, paid time off, and benefits
- Reduced earning capacity if you cannot continue to earn your pre-injury income
- Disability
- In-home aid and home modifications
- Property damage, such as bicycle or cell phone replacements
Our legal team can gather your medical bills and wage statements to substantiate your claim. We can consult with medical experts to understand your prognosis and any future expenses you will incur.
Non-Economic Damages
Your physical pain and emotional suffering also warrant compensation. Our team can assign a monetary value to such non-economic losses.
Your injuries may also warrant awards for reduced quality of life if they cause permanent impairment. We can also seek awards for scarring and disfigurement.
Wrongful Death Damages
When pedestrian accidents prove fatal, many families struggle to cope both emotionally and financially. You deserve justice if your loved one succumbed to fatal injuries in a pedestrian accident.
Our Fresno wrongful death lawyers can lead your case and fight for a fair settlement. Though nothing can replace a family member, you do not deserve to struggle in their absence. We can seek recovery for:
- Funeral arrangements
- Burial or cremation costs
- Your loved one’s accident-related medical bills
- Their pain and suffering
- Loss of income
While you take this time to mourn your loss in peace, our team can handle the legal work. We can represent you and handle any interaction with the liable parties, their insurers, and their representatives. Call us today to begin your free consultation.
Your Pedestrian Accident May Involve Multiple Liable Parties
Various parties can cause or contribute to a pedestrian accident. While this can complicate a case, it’s important to identify any liable party and pursue them for their share of the fault. Insurers may be quick to shift the blame for the accident and deny claims, though.
Our pedestrian accident injury attorneys in Fresno can get to the bottom of what happened and seek fair compensation. Potentially liable parties in pedestrian accidents include:
- A negligent driver, such as a motorist who fails to yield the right of way at a crosswalk
- The manufacturer of a defective product, such as faulty car brakes
- A government agency that failed to maintain the roads, creating dangerous pedestrian hazards
- A third-party motorist who may have avoided the collision but contributed to it
Our legal team can file an insurance claim or a personal injury lawsuit against the liable parties. We can handle negotiations with insurers and represent you in a trial if necessary.
File Your Pedestrian Accident Lawsuit by the Legal Deadline
Pedestrian accident injuries can be severe enough to exhaust an insurance policy’s coverage. You can file a personal injury lawsuit to seek what you deserve. Keep in mind that you have a statute of limitations to meet, though.
According to California Code of Civil Procedure section 335.1, you generally have two years to file a personal injury lawsuit. This deadline begins counting down on the date of your accident. If you miss it, you could lose your chance to take legal action against another party.
Our lawyers can work to meet this deadline, keeping our eyes on the clock as we negotiate with insurers. Still, the sooner you contact us, the better we can protect your right to seek financial recovery.
