Pedestrian Accidents

San Jose Pedestrian Injuries - Crosswalk Car Accidents

Out on the street, there is little to protect pedestrians apart from the curb, their own alertness, and the watchfulness of drivers. Often in car and pedestrian crashes, the driver of the car simply didn't see the person walking across the street. Because of an automobile's sheer mass, any pedestrian injury from a car accident will tend to be severe, and can result in a hospital stay of days, weeks, or months.

Whatever your injury, contact San Jose pedestrian car accident lawyer Jack Bloxham for a free consultation about your legal options. If you can't make it to any of our four Injury Law Center locations, we'll go to you, whether you're in the hospital or your home. Attorney Jack Bloxham has 20 years of experience helping clients at The Injury Law Center negotiate the best possible settlement with insurance companies for pedestrian injuries suffered in car accidents at intersections, in grocery store parking lots, or even in driveways.

Pedestrian accidents can happen at any time, and you don't necessarily have to be walking somewhere to be considered a pedestrian. We've had clients who were struck while fixing their cars, changing their tires or license plates, or unloading trucks. We also represent clients who were injured by a dog bite or dog attack or other animal attack while on foot.

We know how to demonstrate liability and prove personal injury damages in pedestrian car accident cases involving the following physical consequences:

• Severe brain trauma or closed head injuries
• Quadriplegia or paralysis due to spinal cord damage
• Back and neck injuries involving discs or soft tissue trauma
• Knee or shoulder injuries requiring surgery
• Fatal injuries to the head or chest

If you're involved in an accident, it's most important to seek medical attention right away. Even if you don't initially feel any major pain or physical limitations, there may be a delayed onset of symptoms from your injuries. Take pictures of any visible injuries, and try to document every detail you can remember about the accident as quickly as possible.

And, of course, make sure to call a California pedestrian injury attorney who can help you get the compensation you'll need to pay for the medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering that result from a car accident.
