In San Francisco and the Bay Area, walking is an effective way to exercise, commute to work or school, and save money on gas, which also helps the environment. Unfortunately, walking leaves pedestrians more vulnerable to being struck by distracted and careless motorists. California pedestrian fatality rate is nearly 25% higher than the national average, with over 800 fatalities each year due to pedestrian accidents.

In recent years, over 14,000 people were injured in California because of pedestrian accidents. Injuries sustained in pedestrian accidents tend to be more severe and can result in life-altering circumstances for the victim. The most common pedestrian accident injuries include:
If you were injured in a pedestrian accident, it is important to seek medical attention as soon as possible. After an accident, symptoms and injuries may take some time to appear and seeking medical attention can help identify and treat injuries faster to get you on the road to recovery. After visiting a medical professional, call The Barnes Firm at (800) 800-0000. Our team of pedestrian accident attorneys are here to help you get the compensation you deserve following a pedestrian accident.
In order to successfully recover compensation in a pedestrian accident case, you must be able to prove the driver that hit you was acting in a negligent manner. In some accidents, both the pedestrian and the driver may be held liable. Even if the pedestrian is found partially liable in the accident, they can still recover financial compensation for the accident. For example, if a pedestrian is found to be 40% liable for the accident, they can still recover 60% of the damages.
Determining liability in a pedestrian accident can be complicated. Our team of San Francisco pedestrian accident lawyers will fully investigate your accident and gather evidence to help you build a strong case. In San Francisco, and all of California, you have two years from the date of accident or the date of injury discovery to file an accident claim. To get started with your claim, or to have your questions regarding your accident answered, call The Barnes Firm today at (800) 800-0000. It could be the best call you make.
