There are more and more vehicles on our roadways today, sharing space with bikers and pedestrians who are out exercising or commuting. If you are one of the thousands of avid bicyclists sharing the road with California motorists, you are probably well aware that a serious accident could be waiting for you at the next intersection. Pedestrians are generally no safer than bicyclists. San Diego's Pacific Beach area, in particular, can be a dangerous place for the unwary pedestrian or bicyclist.
Richard Huver of The Huver Law Firm has been recognized by The Daily Transcript, San Diego Metro Magazine and Our City San Diego Magazine as one of the top attorneys in San Diego for personal injury.
As a trial lawyer who is focused on personal injury litigation, I am well aware of the serious nature of injuries suffered by bicycle riders and pedestrians. As your attorney, I will vigorously pursue your claim to recover the compensation necessary to allow you to move on with your life.
A Representative Case: A nine-year-old girl was crossing a four-lane street near her school when she was stuck and killed by an inattentive driver. The girl's parents received a $633,333 settlement for her wrongful death.
Rules of the Road
Pedestrian accidents pit a 3,000-lb. steel car against flesh and blood. It does not take high speed to cause injury. In many locations, the pedestrian has the right of way and assumes cars will stop. Drivers may have the opposite assumption and the result is a serious injury. People getting off a bus or jogging on the shoulder of the road are often hit. Dim light after sunset contributes to the number of accidents.
Irresponsible drivers speed, text or drive while intoxicated. Children and the elderly suffer these accidents disproportionately. Even being knocked down on the pavement can be very harmful for an older person.
If you have lost a loved one, I understand the impact this has on surviving family members, spouses and children. I have spent my entire career serving only injured people, not defending against these suits. I have been rated with Martindale-Hubbell's highest rating for an attorney, an AV-Preeminent Rating.
