Compensation For Severely Injured Pedestrians

- Medical bills (past, present, and future)
- Income that was lost
- Reduced earning ability
- Pain and suffering
- Disability
Additionally, in unique cases, a jury may grant punitive damages. These are a type of monetary discipline against the defendant in incidents of reckless negligence or malice.
California’s Statute Of Limitations On Pedestrian Accidents
Every state has a statute of limitations on personal injury claims. It’s a time limit on how long you have to file your accident. In California, it’s two years from the date of the accident. After that, any claim will probably be dismissed by the court.
What To Do If A Motor Vehicle Strikes You
Focus on your well-being. Dial 911 for emergency medical treatment, particularly if you’ve sustained severe injuries. It’s vital to recognize that not all serious injuries are instantly manifest. For example, head injuries may not present symptoms till days after the incident.
That’s why it’s critical you seek medical treatment at the scene of the accident or visit an ER for a thorough examination ASAP. Moreover, obtaining timely medical treatment connects your injuries to the accident. That creates a record, evidence if you will, which can be invaluable when you file a claim later.
It’s essential, if possible, to collect evidence at the scene of the accident. Use your cell phone to take photos of everything at the scene, including your injuries. Document the driver’s name, contact information, and insurance details.
Additionally, obtain the contact details of any witnesses. Take note of the exact location of the accident and anything you can remember related to it. These photos and written details can make a significant difference throughout the claims process.
Once you’ve obtained proper medical care, contact us. We provide free, no-obligation consultations. You’ll discover how we can assist you in pursuing maximum compensation for the injuries you’ve suffered.
