Pedestrian Accident Details
According to recent statistics, over 70% of accidentes de peatones occur at non-intersections (such as in between streets or parking lots); in the dark as opposed to during the day; and happen primarily in urban areas. There are over 5,000 pedestrian fatalities per year, and individuals are on average 10 years older than those involved in car accident fatalities (46 versus 36). It is telling that alcohol is involved in roughly half of all pedestrian accidents, whether with drivers or individuals outside of cars. Pedestrians may make errors while out walking. They sometimes exert too much confidence and try to challenge drivers or they may ignore rules and laws. It is not uncommon for pedestrians to cross at green lights or in the middle of the street, and they may also not hurry up or try to get out of the way of some approaching vehicles. Pedestrians should always be extremely careful as they can usually see a car coming in some instances, and if there is no sign that the vehicle is slowing down or if it is apparent that the driver is not paying attention, they should retreat to a safe place. However, some pedestrians wind up in the street due to excessive consumption of alcohol or because they are simply tired and not paying attention to their surroundings.Llame a (855) 339-8879 para hablar con un representante y programar una revisión gratuita de su caso.

Injuries from Pedestrian Accidents
One of the reasons that pedestrian accidents are so dangerous is due to the lack of safety that pedestrians have. In cars, passengers and drivers have seat belts and air bags to prevent extensive damage and to save them in case of a high impact. Pedestrians do not have such features, and if they are struck by a vehicle, they suffer the entire brunt of the damage. They may be run over, thrown onto the roof or into the windshield, clipped, and more. Some of the injuries that you can suffer in pedestrian accidents include:- Conmociones cerebrales
- Daño cerebral
- Lesiones cerebrales traumáticas
- Lesiones cervicales y medulares
- Lesiones por aplastamiento
- Daños en órganos internos
- Huesos rotos
- Fracturas
- Miembros y dedos amputados
- Paraplejía
- Tetraplejia
- Coma
- Muerte
How To File A Claim
If you wish to sue a driver for injuries you suffered in a pedestrian accident, you must establish that you were harmed and owed a duty of care. The four points of negligence that you must show are:- You were owed a duty of care by the driver, as all individuals on the road are meant to be protected from each other and not participate in potentially dangerous or risky actions
- The duty of care was breached by a reckless or careless action
- El incumplimiento del deber provocó un accidente o incidente de algún tipo
- El incidente provocó daños físicos

If you were not actually physically hurt in the accident, you won’t be able to pursue a personal injury lawsuit. However, most pedestrian accidents lead to some kind of physical injury. To file a claim, you will need effective and ample evidence. This evidence can include the following:- Prueba de tratamiento médico
- Fotos de sus lesiones
- Photos of any damage to personal items or belongings
- Imágenes de vigilancia o seguridad
- Eyewitness or bystander accounts and testimonies
- Imágenes del lugar del accidente
- Contact and insurance information of the driver who hit you
- Copia del informe policial
- Incident report if the accident happened at a place of business

- Pain and suffering damages for emotional trauma, PTSD, anxiety, fear, and more

Plazo para reclamar daños y perjuicios
If you do not take legal action within 2 years of the date of the injury, you will be barred from pursuing any compensation. The statute of limitations is in place to hurry claims along and ensure that they do not sit too long without any resolution. It is fair for your evidence to be gathered for up to 2 years; this prevents it from being rendered outdated and may keep it from corrupting. It can also preserve memories better. Many individuals may be eligible for an extension to the 2-year limit, though. This is most common in cases where you are under the age of 18 years old (you can sue once you turn legal age), mentally or physically incapacitated, or when the defendant has left the state (the statute resumes when he returns). Our lawyers can guarantee that you do not miss an important date. We will file your claim for you and take care of all your documents. We will also make sure the insurance agent does not throw your claim out and gets to it within a timely manner.
