If you or a loved one were critically injured in a pedestrian accident, do not wait to contact an Emeryville personal injury attorney at Estey Bomberger. We understand how overwhelming the legal process can be, but do not let that stop you from contacting our law firm as soon as possible. As a victim of a pedestrian accident, you have a limited amount of time to file a personal injury claim. After the time limit has expired, you will not be allowed to file a claim and will not be allowed to collect financial compensation for injury damages. If contacted soon enough after an accident has occurred, we can make sure your claim paperwork is filed correctly and on time.
Pedestrian Accident Causes
One of the more common causes of pedestrian accidents is motor vehicle driver negligence. Driver negligence can take many forms, such as:
- Failing to yield the right of way to a pedestrian
- Speeding
- Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs
- Inattentiveness
- Disregard for traffic signals and signs
- Falling asleep at the wheel.
