Legal​ ​Issues​ ​Surrounding​ ​Auto-Pedestrian​ ​Accidents. Being​ ​hit​ ​by​ ​a​ ​car​ ​can​ ​be​ ​one​ ​of​ ​the​ ​most​ ​traumatic​ ​experiences​ ​of​ ​a​ ​lifetime. And​ ​in​ ​the​ ​hectic​ ​aftermath​ ​that​ ​follows​ ​an​ ​accident,​ ​a​ ​lawsuit​ ​might​ ​be​ ​the furthest​ ​thing​ ​from​ ​your​ ​mind.​ ​But​ ​if​ ​the​ ​accident​ ​occurred​ ​because​ ​of

someone​ ​else's​ ​negligence,​ ​and​ ​you've​ ​suffered​ ​injuries,​ ​you'll​ ​want​ ​to​ ​keep all​ ​your​ ​legal​ ​options​ ​open.

In​ ​this​ ​brief​ ​summary,​ ​we​ ​provide​ ​a​ ​high-level​ ​overview​ ​of​ ​lawsuits​ ​brought​ ​by

pedestrians​ ​against​ ​drivers​ ​--​ ​focusing​ ​on​ ​the​ ​issues​ ​of​ ​fault,​ ​damages​ ​and​ ​the role​ ​that​ ​a​ ​lawyer​ ​might​ ​play​ ​in​ ​your​ ​case.

Fault​ ​for​ ​Pedestrian​ ​Accidents Fault​ ​is​ ​one​ ​of​ ​the​ ​first​ ​legal​ ​concerns​ ​an​ ​auto-pedestrian​ ​collision​ ​lawyer​ ​will consider​ ​when​ ​deciding​ ​whether​ ​to​ ​file​ ​a​ ​lawsuit.

https://bakersfieldtrialattorneys.com

Did​ ​the​ ​driver​ ​run​ ​a​ ​red​ ​light?​ ​Was​ ​the​ ​driver​ ​speeding?​ ​Was​ ​the​ ​driver

intoxicated?​ ​Did​ ​the​ ​pedestrian​ ​wander​ ​out​ ​into​ ​traffic​ ​while​ ​texting?​ ​Could either​ ​person​ ​have​ ​avoided​ ​the​ ​accident?

In​ ​most​ ​states,​ ​a​ ​pedestrian​ ​can​ ​only​ ​recover​ ​in​ ​a​ ​lawsuit​ ​against​ ​a​ ​driver

when​ ​the​ ​accident​ ​was​ ​at​ ​least​ ​partially​ ​the​ ​driver’s​ ​fault.​ ​If,​ ​for​ ​example,​ ​the pedestrian​ ​literally​ ​wandered​ ​out​ ​into​ ​traffic​ ​while​ ​texting​ ​and​ ​there​ ​was nothing​ ​the​ ​driver​ ​could​ ​do​ ​to​ ​avoid​ ​the​ ​collision,​ ​it​ ​is​ ​unlikely​ ​that​ ​the pedestrian​ ​would​ ​be​ ​successful​ ​in​ ​a​ ​lawsuit.

Assuming​ ​that​ ​someone​ ​other​ ​than​ ​the​ ​pedestrian​ ​is​ ​at​ ​fault,​ ​it's​ ​also​ ​possible that​ ​more​ ​than​ ​one​ ​person​ ​might​ ​have​ ​caused​ ​a​ ​accident.​ ​Imagine​ ​Driver​ ​A

ran​ ​a​ ​red​ ​light.​ ​Driver​ ​B,​ ​who​ ​had​ ​a​ ​green​ ​light,​ ​had​ ​to​ ​swerve​ ​to​ ​avoid​ ​contact with​ ​Driver​ ​A’s​ ​vehicle.​ ​But​ ​the​ ​sudden​ ​swerve​ ​caused​ ​Driver​ ​B​ ​to​ ​lose​ ​control and​ ​hit​ ​Patty,​ ​a​ ​pedestrian​ ​on​ ​the​ ​sidewalk.

Under​ ​these​ ​circumstances,​ ​Patty​ ​the​ ​pedestrian​ ​could​ ​sue​ ​Driver​ ​A,​ ​even

though​ ​Driver​ ​A’s​ ​vehicle​ ​did​ ​not​ ​actually​ ​hit​ ​her.​ ​She​ ​would​ ​probably​ ​want​ ​to

sue​ ​both​ ​drivers,​ ​since​ ​Driver​ ​B​ ​might​ ​share​ ​a​ ​portion​ ​of​ ​the​ ​fault​ ​for​ ​failing​ ​to control​ ​the​ ​vehicle​ ​after​ ​the​ ​swerve.​ ​But​ ​it​ ​is​ ​likely​ ​that​ ​Driver​ ​A,​ ​as​ ​the​ ​driver primarily​ ​at​ ​fault​ ​for​ ​the​ ​accident,​ ​would​ ​pay​ ​most​ ​of​ ​the​ ​damages.

Damages​ ​in​ ​a​ ​Pedestrian​ ​Accident​ ​Case In​ ​a​ ​personal​ ​injury​ ​lawsuit,​ ​damages​ ​are​ ​meant​ ​to​ ​compensate​ ​the​ ​injured

person​ ​for​ ​all​ ​harm​ ​that​ ​was​ ​suffered.​ ​There​ ​is​ ​a​ ​saying​ ​in​ ​law​ ​that​ ​damages

are​ ​“meant​ ​to​ ​make​ ​a​ ​person​ ​whole​ ​again.”​ ​Obviously,​ ​it​ ​is​ ​difficult​ ​to​ ​equate money​ ​with​ ​injuries.​ ​But​ ​that​ ​is​ ​how​ ​the​ ​system​ ​works.

https://bakersfieldtrialattorneys.com

There​ ​are​ ​multiple​ ​categories​ ​of​ ​damages,​ ​including: ● ● ● ●

medical​ ​expenses​ ​(past​ ​and​ ​future) lost​ ​wages​ ​(past​ ​and​ ​future) pain​ ​and​ ​suffering,​ ​and loss​ ​of​ ​enjoyment​ ​of​ ​life.

The​ ​more​ ​simple​ ​categories​ ​of​ ​injury​ ​damages​ ​are​ ​medical​ ​expenses​ ​and​ ​lost wages.​ ​All​ ​medical​ ​expenses​ ​that​ ​the​ ​pedestrian​ ​paid​ ​as​ ​a​ ​result​ ​of​ ​the

accident​ ​can​ ​usually​ ​be​ ​reimbursed​ ​as​ ​part​ ​of​ ​the​ ​damages​ ​in​ ​the​ ​lawsuit.

Also,​ ​if​ ​the​ ​pedestrian​ ​missed​ ​work​ ​--​ ​whether​ ​due​ ​to​ ​the​ ​injuries​ ​themselves or​ ​to​ ​receive​ ​treatment​ ​for​ ​the​ ​injuries​ ​--​ ​the​ ​driver​ ​is​ ​usually​ ​on​ ​the​ ​hook​ ​for any​ ​lost​ ​income.

The​ ​other​ ​categories​ ​of​ ​damages​ ​are​ ​trickier.​ ​How​ ​does​ ​one​ ​calculate​ ​the

value​ ​of​ ​pain​ ​and​ ​suffering?​ ​That​ ​is​ ​really​ ​up​ ​to​ ​a​ ​jury.​ ​To​ ​give​ ​an​ ​extremely rough​ ​guide,​ ​if​ ​a​ ​pedestrian​ ​suffers​ ​some​ ​scrapes​ ​and​ ​bruises​ ​and​ ​a​ ​sore

back​ ​for​ ​about​ ​a​ ​week,​ ​pain​ ​and​ ​suffering​ ​might​ ​be​ ​worth​ ​less​ ​than​ ​a​ ​thousand dollars.​ ​If​ ​the​ ​pedestrian​ ​suffers​ ​a​ ​broken​ ​hip,​ ​a​ ​broken​ ​collarbone,​ ​and​ ​a severe​ ​concussion,​ ​which​ ​leave​ ​the​ ​pedestrian​ ​with​ ​permanent​ ​severe

headaches​ ​and​ ​permanent​ ​severe​ ​pain​ ​in​ ​the​ ​neck​ ​and​ ​shoulder​ ​area,​ ​pain and​ ​suffering​ ​might​ ​be​ ​worth​ ​hundreds​ ​of​ ​thousands​ ​or​ ​more.

Loss​ ​of​ ​normal​ ​life​ ​or​ ​"loss​ ​of​ ​enjoyment"​ ​refers​ ​to​ ​the​ ​negative​ ​impact​ ​on​ ​the injured​ ​person’s​ ​life​ ​as​ ​a​ ​result​ ​of​ ​the​ ​accident.​ ​So,​ ​if​ ​an​ ​accident​ ​leaves​ ​a

pedestrian​ ​paralyzed​ ​from​ ​the​ ​waist​ ​down,​ ​and​ ​the​ ​individual​ ​used​ ​to​ ​be​ ​an avid​ ​surfer​ ​and​ ​rock​ ​climber,​ ​these​ ​damages​ ​would​ ​be​ ​higher​ ​than​ ​if​ ​the injured​ ​person​ ​had​ ​spent​ ​little​ ​time​ ​outdoors​ ​and​ ​active​ ​even​ ​before​ ​the accident.

Lawyers​ ​and​ ​Pedestrian​ ​Accident​ ​Cases “Do​ ​I​ ​need​ ​a​ ​lawyer?”​ ​That​ ​question​ ​comes​ ​up​ ​quite​ ​often​ ​in​ ​injury​ ​cases.​ ​The answer​ ​is​ ​that​ ​it​ ​is​ ​possible​ ​for​ ​a​ ​pedestrian​ ​to​ ​handle​ ​a​ ​claim​ ​without​ ​a

lawyer,​ ​especially​ ​if​ ​there​ ​are​ ​only​ ​minor​ ​injuries​ ​and​ ​fault​ ​is​ ​not​ ​in​ ​dispute,​ ​but in​ ​most​ ​cases,​ ​it​ ​can​ ​be​ ​extremely​ ​difficult​ ​to​ ​go​ ​it​ ​on​ ​your​ ​own.
