Pedestrian Accidents

San Diego Pedestrian Accident Attorney

When bicyclists, joggers, or other pedestrians are struck by a car or truck, the entire force of the vehicle is absorbed by the pedestrian. Injuries are often substantial, sometimes catastrophic. Injured pedestrians often face significant medical treatment, with attendant medical care costs, time away from work, and other challenges associated with their injuries. The Law Office of Jerrold M. Bodow is dedicated to helping injured clients recover full compensation for medical bills, furture care, lost income, pain, suffering, inconvenience, and change in life style following a pedestrian accident .

Hit-and-Run Pedestrian Accidents

Did you know that if you are hit by a car that flees the accident scene, you may still be able to recover compensation? If you have your own auto insurance policy, it may provide financial recovery through an uninsured/underinsured motorist claim.

Inadequate Insurance Coverage? There May Be Relief.

Pedestrian injuries are frequently catastrophic, causing traumatic brain injuries (TBI), spinal cord injuries, loss of limb, and other significant injuries. The financial impact of such injuries frequently exceeds the policy limits available in an insurance claim against the at-fault driver. However, additional compensation may be available through your own underinsured motorist coverage provision in your auto insurance policy. Additionally, you can recover damages beyond an insurance policy through a lawsuit which makes substantially all of the "at-fault" party's assets available to you.

Were You at Fault or Partially at Fault?

In pedestrian-vehicle accidents involving catastrophic injuries, even if you were partially to blame, there may still be a claim against the driver. Even if the other driver was only partially to blame for the accident, it is unlikely that the driver's insurance adjuster would deny compensation for your injuries. It is worth a free consultation with us to determine if you have a claim. Even where the pedestrian is almost completely at fault, we have collected policy limits from the driver in past cases.
