After a pedestrian accident, you may be suffering terrible injuries and facing an overwhelming amount of stress. Knowing how to move forward after a life-threatening accident can be confusing. That’s why consulting a personal injury attorney about your next steps is beneficial.
In some cases, identifying who is at fault can become problematic, especially if you were violating a law at the time of the accident. In California, we practice pure comparative negligence, meaning the amount of compensation the injured party can collect is limited by the degree of fault. Hiring an attorney guarantees that a detailed investigation will take place to help determine the degree of fault you may have.
At Bergener Mirejovsky, we fight to get our clients fair compensation. We understand the pain and suffering you’ve endured and will work tirelessly to get you the settlement you deserve. While the insurance company devalues your injuries and tries to place more fault on you, we push back.
If you or a loved one has been injured in an accident due to another’s negligence, call 1-800-881-2021 for a complimentary strategy session with one of our experienced attorneys. We’re available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
