Sadly, bicycle accidents and pedestrian accidents often involve even more extensive damage than collisions between automotive vehicles because pedestrians and bicyclists are virtually unprotected from the brunt of severe impacts.
The law firm of HodesMilman has assisted many clients after a serious pedestrian accident or bicycle accident. The lawyers at our firm have served Orange County and the greater Los Angeles area for more than 25 years and will help you obtain compensation for your injuries and other damages.
Pedestrian accidents refer to any type of accident between a pedestrian and a motor vehicle. This does not include accidents that befall pedestrians as a result of other factors, such as slip and fall accidents.
According to the most recent data available through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), there were approximately 66,000 pedestrian accidents in the United States in 2006. Of those pedestrian accidents, an estimated 61,000 resulted in some form of injury and more than 4,700 proved fatal. In the State of California, data shows 717 fatalities related to pedestrian accidents in 2006, the tenth highest fatality rate for pedestrian accidents in the country that year.
Because of the heavy traffic in Orange County and throughout Los Angeles, the chances of a pedestrian getting into an accident are relatively high. The lawyers at our firm are ready to assist you if you have been injured or have lost a loved one in an accident caused by a negligent motorist.
The most common cause of pedestrian accidents is driver negligence. Drivers have a responsibility to yield to a pedestrian's right of way at intersections and in other traffic situations. If a driver is under the influence of alcohol or another controlled substance or is otherwise distracted, the driver can be held liable for any injuries and other damage sustained by a pedestrian.
Other causes of pedestrian accidents include poor road and sidewalk design, traffic signal malfunctions, poor road signage, and negligent traffic safety officers. In such cases, the municipality, road construction crew, or local traffic officials must be held liable for any injuries or damage that occur.
If you have been injured or have lost a loved one in a pedestrian accident, consult the lawyers at our law firm serving Orange County and the greater Los Angeles area.
Our team of pedestrian accident lawyers will examine the circumstances of your case and establish liability, whether on the part of a motorist or another individual or group. Our lawyers will help you obtain compensation for medical costs, physical rehabilitation, lost wages, and other damages.
If a loved one is killed in a pedestrian accident, our lawyers will assist you in your pursuit of justice by filing a wrongful death suit on your behalf.
Bicycle accidents refer to any type of accident between a bicyclist or pedalcyclist and a motor vehicle.
According to the most recent data available through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), there were approximately 45,000 bicycle and pedalcyclist accidents across the nation in 2006. Of those bicycle and pedalcyclist accidents, an estimated 44,000 resulted in some form of injury, and more than 700 proved fatal. In the State of California, data shows 141 fatalities related to bicycle and pedalcyclist accidents in 2006.
If you live in or near Orange County or Los Angeles, the bicycle accident lawyers at our firm are ready to assist you if you have been injured or have lost a loved one due to someone else’s negligent behavior on the road.
One of the most common causes of bicycle and pedalcyclist accidents is driver negligence. Drivers have a responsibility to share the road with bicyclists and pedalcyclists. If a motorist is driving under the influence or is otherwise preoccupied or distracted, that driver can be held liable for any injuries or other damages sustained by a bicyclist or pedalcyclist.
Other causes of bicycle accidents include poor road design, poor bike lane design, traffic signal malfunctions, poor road signage, and negligent traffic safety officers.
