San Francisco Pedestrian Accident Attorney
San Francisco Bay Area | Oakland | San Rafael | San Jose CA
Even though a pedestrian walking lawfully within a crosswalk has the right of way, drivers of cars, trucks, buses and trolleys sometimes do not notice pedestrians or misjudge a pedestrian's location and speed of walking. Whatever the cause, being hit by a moving vehicle can cause substantial injuries.
A Tradition of Compassionate, Personalized Service
San Jose Pedestrian Accident Lawyer
If you have been injured as a pedestrian, you need a Bay Area pedestrian accident lawyer who will thoroughly investigate the accident and fight for fair and just compensation for your injuries and monetary losses.
For more than 25 years, the Weber & Nierenberg personal injury law firm has been known for vigorous and effective representation of injured people.
- We will reconstruct the pedestrian accident, including your visibility, location and movements and those of the vehicles around you. Once you hire us, we will try to preserve all evidence that remains at the accident scene, including interviewing witnesses before the insurance company or public entity does.
- We will monitor your medical progress. If you do not have health insurance, we will help you find appropriate care.
- When the insurance company or public entity disputes who is at fault for the accident or when the settlement offer is insufficient to compensate you for your losses, we will file a lawsuit and take your case to trial.
- If a family member died in a pedestrian accident, talk to our pedestrian accident attorney about a wrongful death claim.
