Tulare County Pedestrian Crashes and Personal Injury Claims
California law requires drivers to treat pedestrians with a heightened duty of care, due to their greater vulnerability to serious injury in a collision. The pedestrian involved in this accident may have grounds for a personal injury claim with the insurance provider of the Chevrolet’s driver. A personal injury claim can provide compensation for medical expenses, pain and suffering, and other damages related to the accident. However, if negligence on the pedestrian’s part is proven to also have contributed to the crash that injured him, any settlement may be reduced in proportion to his liability.
