Options for Victims Following Salinas Pedestrian Accidents
It can be a long road to recovery for many victims of Salinas pedestrian accidents. The injuries that stem from these collisions tend to be incredibly severe due to the fact that pedestrians have no protection from harm when involved in a car accident. Having a legal advocate on your side can help you obtain some of the following damages related to a pedestrian accident:
- Medical bills incurred due to the accident and its injuries
- Loss of enjoyment of life
- Lost wages due to missing out on time at work
- Therapy-related expenses
- Pain and suffering damages
California follows a strict statute of limitations of two years before you are no longer able to file a claim. This is why it is important that victims act quickly to protect their rights after an accident.
