Fighting For Injured Pedestrians
When a pedestrian is struck by a motor vehicle, catastrophic injuries and fatalities usually occur. As traffic increases every year, pedestrian accidents likewise increase. It has become more difficult to safely cross streets in California. Van Blois & Associates has successfully represented pedestrians in accidents for more than 40 years. We promptly investigate accidents to collect and preserve important evidence.
Although pedestrians have the right of way in most instances, proving liability can be difficult. The at-fault driver’s attorney will attempt to place most of the blame on the pedestrian. Injured pedestrians should be represented by lawyers who have substantial experience in overcoming defenses presented by the motor vehicle drivers’ attorneys. At Van Blois & Associates, we have a history of achieving successful results in all types of injury claims, including pedestrian accidents. See our case results below to learn about our successes.
