DANGER: SAN DIEGO STREETS AREN’T SAFE FOR PEDESTRIANS!
At 8:48 a.m. on March 29, a man in his 20s was strolling near the San Diego Zoo when a sedan smashed into him. The impact threw him over the hood of the car, and his head slammed into the windshield. Less than two weeks later, a Ford truck struck a 59-year-old man on Market Street. The collision knocked him to the ground, and paramedics rushed him to the hospital with serious head injuries. Then, just 90 minutes later and four miles away, another pedestrian — this time a woman — was hit by a vehicle. Like the others, she ended up in the hospital. It’s astonishingly clear that here in San Diego, pedestrian accidents are on the rise. These accidents can be serious, as in the case of the 59-year-old man, or even deadly! According to the California Office of Traffic Safety, in 2018 alone, 14,000 pedestrians were injured and 893 were killed on California roadways. If you or someone you love is struck by a car or truck while walking through our city, you need a lawyer experienced in pedestrian accidents on your side. Our team here at the Law Office of Elliott Kanter has that expertise. We can investigate all of the potential parties at fault and dig into the insurance legalese to make sure you get the maximum compensation for your injuries. Insurance coverage is key in these situations. Even experienced personal injury attorneys don’t always understand policies and what they cover. Some drivers are also uninsured or underinsured, which makes things even more complicated. That’s why you need a lawyer who has handled hundreds of pedestrian cases, like Elliott. If you need representation in a pedestrian accident case, call our office as soon as you’ve gotten medical attention. (Pro tip: Don’t give a recorded statement to your insurance company until after you’ve spoken to your lawyer AND your doctor.) If you’ve been lucky enough to avoid accidents so far, please continue to stay safe! Wear bright colors and reflectors, avoid walking at night or while texting, and always double-check your surroundings before crossing the street.
