Walking is a healthy alternative to driving when you are trying to reach your destination. However, crossing streets and sharing the road with vehicles presents risks, sometimes resulting in pedestrian accidents. These accidents can cause serious injuries, particularly due to the impact of a moving vehicle. Even when not fatal, such accidents may result in significant harm.
It is important to determine who should pay if a negligent motorist puts you in this compromising position. Our team is dedicated to recovering the most compensation available through insurance settlements or personal injury lawsuits when you suffer physical, emotional, and financial losses due to the negligence of others. If you suffered Burbank pedestrian accident injuries, you need an experienced pedestrian attorney to hold the offending motorist accountable.
According to the California Office of Traffic Safety, about 1,200 pedestrians are killed each year by negligent motorists. Many pedestrians also suffer devastating injuries from lower and upper body trauma after accidents in Burbank.
Lower body injuries include pelvis and hip fractures, ankle and foot injuries, crushed knees and ligament tears, and tendon tears. These injuries may cause recurring pain and impact your ability to walk. Rehabilitation is extremely likely after extensive medical treatment. You could be precluded from returning to work for a while, and chronic pain can impact your daily activities.
Upper body injuries are also painful and may cause long-term consequences. These injuries include:
Severe injuries demand extensive medical treatment that could last a lifetime. Many of them are disfiguring. Our personal injury attorneys understand that you need the maximum compensation possible to take care of your family when you cannot work while recuperating and to pay for medical care and address your emotional trauma.
If you are a pedestrian in Burbank and have been injured in an accident caused by a negligent motorist, we could help.
Pedestrian accidents also inflict psychological trauma on victims, along with physical injuries. You may develop depression and anxiety from this near-death experience, as well as experience post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) after various traumatic events. PTSD could cause nightmares, flashbacks to the devastating event, and severe anxiety, presumably impacting your ability to engage in pedestrian activities again for fear that another accident may harm you.
This leads to more pronounced psychological responses such as persistent sadness, helplessness, and fear.
These internalized traumas could significantly reduce your quality of life. If a negligent driver is responsible for your injuries after a pedestrian accident in Burbank, our skilled attorneys are ready to maximize the monetary compensation you are entitled to for your losses.
According to the statewide initiative, California Walks, you are doing the right thing for your health and the environment when you become a pedestrian on Burbank streets, but that may offer little consolation if you are severely injured in an accident by a negligent motorist. However, we are here to help. Our lawyers are a tenacious team that never waivers from holding at-fault drivers responsible for the harm they cause our clients.
We understand the trauma you have endured and how serious your injuries are, and we will treat you with the respect and dignity you deserve, just like a small firm should. Our team could handle your case with all the skills and technological advantages of a large firm to get you the most compensation possible.
