Pedestrian Accidents
According to the IIHS , deaths from car accidents involving pedestrians have increased 83% since 2009. 7,522 pedestrians were killed in car accidents in 2022 alone.
Because of the size, weight, and speed differences between human beings and automobiles, auto vs. pedestrian accidents often cause catastrophic, life altering injuries. While most drivers are responsible and yield to pedestrians, sadly some do not and many pedestrians are struck by motor vehicles every year.
If you, a loved one, or a close friend were struck by a careless driver while walking or riding a bicycle, contacting an experienced attorney is key in protecting your rights. Our firm has significant experience helping clients get full and fair compensation, especially in cases involving serious injury or wrongful death.
Rideshare Accidents (Uber/Lyft)
More and more people are signing up to drive for Uber, Lyft, or other rideshare companies to supplement their income. Unfortunately, these drivers often lack professional training and haven’t been fully vetted. According to estimates by Statista , there are 1.7 million rideshare drivers in the U.S. A University of California at Berkeley study in 2020 found that approximate 1.4% of rideshare drivers had a conviction for drunk driving, and about 2.35% have had their license suspended.
If you have been injured by an Uber, Lyft, or other rideshare driver, it’s important that you seek medical attention right away. It is also very important to contact an attorney who has gone up against these large corporations before.
