personal injury ATTORNEYS SERVING VIctims of pedestrian accidents
WE can help if you have been injured in a pedestrian accident
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) reports that there are approximately 7500 traffic accidents in the United States annually that result in pedestrian fatalities. Tens of thousands more are injured, many severely. Most of those pedestrian involved accidents occur as a result of drivers failing to stop at a traffic signal or failing to yield the right of way to a pedestrian. Driver distraction resulting from texting or smartphone use is becoming a more common factor in these types of accidents as well.
Oregon law applies the concept of comparative negligence to pedestrian accidents. This legal doctrine requires that pedestrians exercise reasonable care for their own safety, including using crosswalks, obeying walk signals and so forth. If a pedestrian is found to not have done so, the court may find the pedestrian partly or fully responsible for the accident.
If you have been involved in a pedestrian accident, Ryan and Dipendra can help you understand the legal analysis applicable to the facts of your accident. It is important to understand that the insurance companies involved in your case are financially motivated to offer you minimum payment. You have the right to be fully compensated for your injuries and related medical expenses, as well as for your pain and suffering, loss of companionship and diminished quality of life.
Ryan and Dipendra have worked for insurance companies and know how they operate. Beware of quick offers of settlement from insurance companies. The true extent and nature of your injuries may not show up right away. Quick and cheap settlement offers are only intended to benefit insurance companies.
Ryan and Dipendra at Lee Rana Attorneys are dedicated to helping you understand the full extent of your rights under Oregon and Washington pedestrian accident laws.
