People should be able to safely cross the street in Walnut Creek or Oakland in a crosswalk without worrying about being hit by a car. Unfortunately, pedestrian accidents in crosswalks happen all the time in California's Bay Area.
Car accidents at crosswalks often cause very serious injuries to pedestrians. That's because people crossing the street have no protection against cars or other large, motorized vehicles crashing into them.
Our Walnut Creek pedestrian accident attorneys at Clancy & Diaz, LLP can help you every step of the way. We know the law and have years of experience handling such complicated cases throughout Northern California.
Crosswalk accidents happen for many different reasons. Some of the most common causes of these accidents include:
Whatever the cause of your crosswalk accident, no matter how straightforward or complicated your case might seem, make sure you take your case seriously right from the start. Make sure you talk to an attorney at our law firm today.
You might think you don't need a lawyer if you were injured while legally crossing the street in a crosswalk. All you have to do is call the police and tell them you were injured in a crosswalk accident and the driver's insurance company will take care of everything, right?
Don't count on it. Most pedestrian accident cases turn out to be far more complicated than many people expect. That's because insurance companies often do everything they can to reduce or deny accident claims, even if a driver clearly hit you while you were legally crossing the street in a crosswalk.
Our attorneys thoroughly understand California's legal system. We know what evidence to look for and how to transform that information into a strong legal case. Often, we negotiate with insurance companies for the best possible settlement. But if they refuse to cooperate, we're prepared to take them to court. Find out how we can help you.
