Pedestrian Accidents Lawyers In Rocklin, Mission Viejo, Union City & Porterville
In California, hundreds of pedestrians get die or get injured every day due to negligent drivers. There are certain age groups that appear to be impacted with a higher percentage of pedestrian accidents, according to statistics. These are often children or senior citizens who end up being victims of these accidents. Braff Injury Law Offices handles many cases every year of pedestrian accidents involving children or senior citizens.
Sometimes the accidents cause such catastrophic injuries that the person dies due to their injuries. Others have lifelong damages to their body that negatively impact their quality of life. This is because the effect of a speeding vehicle means that there is thousands of pounds of steel and metal hitting a body of soft tissue and bone. Permanent disabilities are common among those who have survived these types of accidents.

Laws About Comparative Negligence
In California, as per the “Comparative Negligence” law it allows that there is sharing of liability among vehicle drivers and pedestrians. These are legal terms that can sound daunting at first but basically mean that even if a pedestrian is liable partially for the accident, that person can still be entitled to get damages. In order for this to happen, a skilled personal injury lawyer like those at Braff Injury Law Offices will need to fight to ensure that the compensation is paid since a defendant’s lawyer will often try to shift the blame entirely on the victim in order to eliminate responsibility for their clients.
