Financial Recovery for Victims of Bakersfield Pedestrian Accidents

Pedestrian accidents are some of the most likely accidents to lead to catastrophic injuries. In some cases, these horrific accidents even end in fatality. Many pedestrians who sustain injuries in one of these accidents will spend an extensive period of time recovering and may even miss out on work opportunities. With the help of an attorney, a pedestrian may be able to recover damages through a personal injury claim. Some of the damages that may be available in a claim include:

  • Medical expenses you have incurred or will incur in the future related to your injuries
  • Lost wages due to missing out on time at work or not being able to return to work
  • Loss of enjoyment of life
  • Pain and suffering damages
  • Punitive damages in cases of gross negligence

In California, the statute of limitations is a short two years from the time you become injured. This is why it is vital that you act quickly and speak with an attorney immediately so that you can begin protecting your rights and gaining the compensation you need.
