Woodland Pedestrian Accident Lawyer

Woodland is located in California's Central Valley about 15 miles northwest of Sacramento, and offers residents a dense suburban feel. Unlike many other suburbs in Sacramento, Woodland is much more laid back. However, there's still plenty of vehicles and pedestrians on local roads. This means the city sees its fair share of pedestrian accidents.

As personal injury lawyers, our job is to help those injured in traffic accidents obtain the compensation they need to recover. If you or a family member has sustained severe injuries in a pedestrian-related accident, reach out to our seasoned Woodland pedestrian accident lawyers at (530) 392-9400 for a free consultation.

While any accident can potentially result in injuries, accidents involving pedestrians can be catastrophic due to their lack of protection and level of vulnerability. Some common injuries pedestrians typically suffer include:

• Broken bones
• Nerve damage
• Internal bleeding
• Severe cuts or lacerations
• Spinal cord damage
• Traumatic brain injuries
• Wrongful Death

The severity of these injuries depends largely on many factors, such as where the pedestrian was struck, the speed of the vehicle, the angle of impact, the type of vehicle, and where the accident occurred.

If you are involved in a pedestrian accident, you must seek medical care immediately for your injury. Not only will quick medical care improve your chance of making a full recovery, but the record of having received medical care is crucial evidence to use to support your personal injury claim.

While it’s impossible to know exactly when or where a collision will happen, there are certain things pedestrians can do to prevent getting injured. Watch the informational video below about pedestrian safety tips

Being injured in a pedestrian accident will not only hurt you physically, but it can also hurt you mentally. Because accident injuries can cause issues with mobility or cognition, many crash survivors can no longer participate in activities they once enjoyed.

Accident injuries are also often costly. Crash survivors often face high medical expenses, such as surgeries, hospital stays, physical therapy, medications, and more. Your injury may also keep you from returning to work for a significant period or permanently, resulting in sudden income loss.

Many crash survivors can reach out to an experienced personal injury lawyer to help file a claim to hold negligent parties responsible for the damages they’ve caused. However, injury claims can be complicated and vary extensively depending on the circumstances of the accident. That's why it is essential to seek advice from a seasoned injury lawyer before taking legal action. Most personal injury attorneys provide a free initial consultation, so there is nothing to lose.

California's laws are heavily aimed toward protecting pedestrians. Proof that the driver acted negligently is necessary for this type of personal injury claim. Some common types of driver negligence include:

• Driving over the speed limit
• Driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol
• Driving while distracted
• Driving while fatigued

To prove that a driver is responsible for your injuries, it is crucial to have an experienced personal injury lawyer on your side. At AutoAccident.com, our experienced injury attorneys can help gather crucial evidence that will help prove liability in your pedestrian accident.

When you are recovering from a severe injury, it can be difficult to go through the process of a personal injury claim. You are more likely to settle for a lower settlement than you deserve when you try to navigate the claim process on your own. You'll need an experienced personal injury attorney to negotiate with the insurance company to reach a fair and appropriate settlement.

If you are involved in a pedestrian accident, you can suffer severe and life-threatening injuries.
