Ongoing Investigations
Victims of traffic accidents and their families should be aware that authorities may fail to note or even misinterpret critical evidence at a crash site. One of the services that a Personal Injury Attorney can provide is to pursue follow-up investigations, which can reveal additional evidence to correct any errors made by previous investigators.
Fresno Pedestrian Accidents and Personal Injury Claims
California law follows the principle of comparative negligence. This means that even if a pedestrian is found partially at fault for entering the roadway improperly, they may still pursue compensation if the negligence of the driver, such as failing to keep a proper lookout or traveling at an unsafe speed, also contributed to the collision. Investigators with California law enforcement examine visibility, speed, and the actions of both parties to determine what role each may have played.
The pedestrian injured in this collision may have the right to pursue a personal injury claim. A personal injury claim can provide compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other damages related to the accident.
