How to Claim Compensation After a Pedestrian Accident
When a pedestrian is hit by a vehicle, the injuries are often severe — and the legal process to recover compensation can feel overwhelming. Understanding your rights and the steps to take after a pedestrian accident is crucial to ensure you receive the justice and financial support you deserve.
Understanding Your Right to Compensation
If you were struck by a negligent driver, you have the right to seek compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering. A skilled pedestrian accident lawyer in California can investigate the scene, gather evidence such as surveillance footage and witness statements, and handle all communication with insurance companies to protect your claim.
Filing a Claim After a Pedestrian Accident
