San Diego Pedestrian Accident Lawyers

Recent statistics show that in the United States a pedestrian is killed in a traffic accident every 111 minutes. It happens in San Diego. Nearly 90% of non-occupant fatalities are pedestrians, as opposed to bicyclists, motorcyclists, or skateboarders. Pedestrians are at a high risk for injury, so they need to take extra precaution to protect themselves. However, sometimes no matter how careful people are, injuries still occur.

Regardless of the circumstances of a pedestrian accident, victims should seek out an experienced San Diego pedestrian accident lawyer. This should be done as soon as possible after the accident. Witnesses become difficult to find and important physical evidence is lost within a week, so timing is critical. Don't delay in calling.

Motor vehicle accidents involving pedestrians result in incredible suffering to the victims. Medical bills pile up, income is lost, pain is endures, and life is not as enjoyable. There is heavy economic loss to the family of deceased members, in addition to mental pain and loss of companionship.

If you or a loved one has been involved in a motor vehicle accident in which death or injury occurred, call an attorney immediately. The experienced pedestrian accident attorneys at BISNAR | CHASE will investigate the crash, determine who was at fault, and seek to recover legal damages owed.

Here is some critical advice regarding what you should and should not do if you are involved in accident:

• Obtain all important information from all parties involved in the accident: names, addresses, vehicle license numbers, driver's license numbers, and insurance information. Also get contact information for any witnesses.
  
  
• Insist that a report be filed.
  
  
• Take lots of pictures; photograph the scene of the accident, the vehicles and the damage incurred, and any visible injuries you may have suffered.
  
  
• Only talk to your doctor or lawyer about the accident; avoid talking to insurance adjusters.
  
  
• Have a lawyer present before signing anything.
  
  
• Seek immediate medical attention and tell your doctor exactly what your injuries are and how they occurred.
