Pedestrian accidents can be caused by a variety of vehicles i.e. cars, motorcycles, bicycles, busses, and other modes of transportation. Being injured in an accident could also be the fault of the placement of a cross-walk and not just the driver of a vehicle. After experiencing a pedestrian injury, one must be ready to file a claim in order to gain their compensation for recovery. There is a small window of time in filing these claims or filing for ultimate litigation so a consultation should be requested quickly following an accident.
While dealing with recovery, understanding the amount of compensation you need could be a confusing process. The Khorozian Law Group’s expertise will examine all factors of the accident and the reasons that caused it. They will be able to determine if there was a lack in duty over the safety and structure of the street. Drivers are not only the only ones that are subject to prosecution, engineering companies and government agencies can also be held responsible. The Khorozian Law Group will make sure that all causes of the accident are identified and anyone responsible is held accountable.
