San Bernardino Pedestrian Accident Attorney
If another party is responsible for your injuries in a San Bernardino pedestrian accident, you may be able to recover damages for pain and suffering, medical bills and lost wages. Attorneys at the San Bernardino pedestrian accident law firm of Estey & Bomberger, LLP have more than 70 years of combined experience helping personal injury victims recover the maximum monetary compensation available for their serious or catastrophic injuries.
Types of Pedestrian Accidents
Thousands of pedestrians in San Bernardino are seriously injured or killed while travelling next to, across or along roadways. San Bernardino pedestrian accidents can occur in intersections, at marked or unmarked crosswalks, or along the side of the road. Pedestrian accidents can involve drivers and passengers of automobiles, trucks, bicycles and motorcycles. Children are especially at risk for being injured or killed in pedestrian accidents because they are smaller and harder to see. Pedestrian accidents most often happen at night, but they can happen anywhere at any time of day.
Causes of San Bernardino Pedestrian Accidents
Although many pedestrian accidents involve another vehicle, motorcycle, or bicycle, pedestrian accidents may also be caused by improperly maintained sidewalks, roads or parking lots, construction activity or debris. In some cases an injured pedestrian may be entitled to recover damages for a slip and fall or trip and fall accident under the legal theory of premises liability. A San Bernardino pedestrian accident lawyer at Estey & Bomberger, LLP can help you determine the cause of your pedestrian accident and if another party is responsible for your injuries.
Types of Pedestrian Accident Injuries
Pedestrians are often hit unexpectedly, with little or no time to flee an oncoming vehicle before a pedestrian is knocked down. Even if an automobile is not travelling very fast, or if the driver is able to brake before striking the pedestrian, a pedestrian can still be seriously injured or killed. With even less protection than a bicyclist wearing a helmet, a pedestrian is vulnerable to potentially every type of serious or catastrophic injury, including:
- Burn injuries
- Disfigurement injuries
- Head injuries
- Loss of hearing
- Loss of vision
- Multiple bone fractures
- Neck injuries
- Skull fractures
- Spinal cord injuries, including paraplegia and quadriplegia
- Traumatic brain injuries
- Wrongful death
Pedestrians are sometimes the unfortunate victims of negligent or reckless driving in intersections or at crosswalks. A pedestrian is not protected by a vehicle’s steel cage of protection or airbags, and can easily be injured or killed. Intersection accidents are often caused by speeding, driver distraction, or drinking and driving. Alcohol is a factor in 20% of intersection fatality accidents, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).
