Common Questions Concerning Pedestrian Accidents in San Gabriel

There are many different scenarios in which you might be involved in a pedestrian accident while in San Gabriel. Below you will find some of the most frequently asked questions by our clients regarding pedestrian accidents.

Who is Considered a Pedestrian?

Pedestrians are individuals walking alongside a road or crossing it. Pedestrians include people that are walking and running, along with individuals that utilize scooters, wheelchairs, and skateboards. Besides using an ordinary bicycle, almost everyone outside next to a road or crossing it is considered to be a pedestrian.

Who is Liable in a Pedestrian Accident?

There are three main factors that must be proven by a victim in California to establish liability in a pedestrian accident and to recover financial damages.

(1) The driver of the automobile had a duty of care to the pedestrian;

(2) By recklessness or negligence, the vehicle’s conductor failed to exercise the expected level of care towards the pedestrian, and;

(3) The failure to exercise the required care towards the pedestrian resulted in the victim’s injury or harm.

What is Considered Negligent Driving?

Negligent driving occurs when a driver fails to exercise an expected level of care to those around them. This can include driving distracted (eating, talking on the phone, texting, etc.), driving under the influence of a controlled substance (alcohol, prescription drugs, or other drugs), speeding, or failure to yield at a traffic sign or light. Our attorneys at Walch Law can help you determine whether or not you were hit by a negligent driver, so call us TODAY!

What Are Common Pedestrian Injuries Following an Accident?

Injuries are common following a pedestrian accident because pedestrians do not have the protection that a car provides, such as airbags and seatbelts. From scratches and bruises to broken bones and brain injuries, pedestrian injuries from an accident can vary in their severity. In extreme cases, pedestrian accidents can result in a wrongful death suit due to the death of the victim. Call our office now to discuss your accident for FREE, and learn about what we can do for you.

What if I Was Injured by a Hit And Run Driver as a Pedestrian?

If you were hit by a pedestrian in a hit and run accident, you may feel frustrated because you cannot hold the responsible party accountable for their actions. This frustration is normal, but rest assured that you still have legal avenues that can be pursued to seek compensation. Your personal insurance company has coverage for situations exactly like this. However, your insurance provider may try to give you less compensation than you deserve. At Walch Law, our attorneys have worked with thousands of insurance providers, so we know how to get you the compensation that you deserve from your own insurance company! Contact us NOW to learn how we can best help you.

We had two prior attorneys who were unable to settle our car accident case. We then hired Gary and Robert Walch and they not only got us both great settlements, but personally spent time with us explaining everything clearly. We couldn't be happier. Thank you! A.M. and M.A.
