Pedestrians face the greatest risks on or near the road since they lack the protection offered by vehicles. When accidents occur, they often suffer severe injuries that can change the course of their lives. On top of immediate medical care, they may need years of treatment to cope with their injuries.
Omega Law Group advocates for pedestrian accident victims by fighting to maximize their potential compensation. Our Santa Ana pedestrian accident lawyers can assess your losses and advocate for you if an insurer attempts to undervalue or deny your claim.
Call us today to learn more about how our Santa Ana personal injury lawyers can build your case. We offer free consultations. You are under no obligation when you call to discuss your accident.
Our Pedestrian Accident Lawyers in Santa Ana Will Work to Maximize Your Case’s Value
It’s no surprise that pedestrian accident injuries can be costly to treat. You may be looking at years of rehabilitative care. You deserve to reach your maximum medical recovery, but you may already be drowning in medical debt.
Our law firm is here to help. We can accurately assess both your current and future accident-related expenses. Then, we can fight for every penny you deserve. Whether this means filing an insurance claim and negotiating a settlement or taking legal action in the form of a personal injury lawsuit, we can navigate you through the entire process.
This will allow you time and energy to focus on your health or tend to a loved one’s needs. Take a look at the potential forms of damages our pedestrian accident team can pursue.
Medical Expenses
From the care you receive in an ambulance to the surgeries and recovery time you endured in a hospital, we can seek recovery for your accident-related medical expenses. This also includes any specialists you have to see, as well as medication, medical devices, and diagnostic testing.
We can also seek awards to cover any ongoing care you require. We can estimate this future expense by obtaining your prognosis and consulting medical experts. You deserve access to any necessary medical treatment, and we can negotiate with insurers to ensure your settlement offer reflects these losses.
Lost Income and Reduced Earning Capacity
You probably had to take time off work to heal. In some cases, pedestrian accident victims may never return to work. In other situations, they may have to take a lesser-paying position or work on light duty for a period.
You deserve fair compensation for the way your accident injuries affect your income. We can gather your wage statements and illustrate how an impairment will affect your career in the long run. This way, we can recover awards for lost income and reduced earning capacity.
Call us today to get started on your case. During your initial consultation, we can explain more about the damages we can seek.
Non-Economic Losses
Your physical pain and emotional turmoil resulting from your injuries also warrant compensation. Typically, you can only seek non-economic damages in a personal injury lawsuit or a third-party liability claim. Severe injuries, such as those that cause blindness, often meet this threshold.
Our Santa Ana pedestrian accident attorneys can seek awards for these losses using one of a couple of methods to calculate their economic value. Other examples of non-economic damages include loss of quality of life and scarring or disfigurement.
Wrongful Death Damages
Losing a loved one in a sudden, tragic accident is never easy. When families discover that the accident could have been avoided, it’s even more painful. No one should have to lose their life to negligence.
Our Santa Ana wrongful death attorneys can help your family pursue justice with a lawsuit. This may also result in a settlement or verdict that can help you honor the memory of your loved one. Other wrongful death damages we can pursue include:
- Your loved one’s medical expenses
- Their pain and suffering
- The income they contributed to the household
While you grieve your loved one without disruption, we can handle the legal process. We provide compassionate legal services from our family to yours.

(310) 526-8383 Multiple Parties May Share the Fault for a Pedestrian Accident
You may assume that the driver who hit you as a pedestrian always bears the blame. Other parties may have also played a role in your accident, though. Our legal team can get to the bottom of it and pursue each liable party for compensation based on their share of fault.
Potentially liable parties may include:
- Other drivers that contributed to the collision
- A government agency that oversees the road and intersection
- A rideshare company
- The employer of a commercial driver
Pedestrians also have laws to follow. If an insurance adjuster tried to shift more of the blame for your injuries onto you, we can challenge their determination of fault.
