If you’re walking on the sidewalk or across the street, you’re considered a pedestrian. You have a right to use the roadways like any other person. But when a driver breaks those laws, pedestrians suffer the most. The personal injury lawyers in Compton from The Simmrin Law Group have seen many such accidents.
We know that many victims need a lot of money to cover the costs of an accident. You can get the most from your accident case by calling our Compton pedestrian accident lawyers for a free consultation. You can call us anytime, even if you’re still in the hospital recovering from your accident.
Winning a Pedestrian Accident Case
When you pursue a claim on your own, you have to prove four things to the insurance company to win. The four things to prove to have a valid pedestrian accident claim are:
- Duty of Care: Was the person you’re suing or making a claim against actually at the scene and behind the wheel of a car that hit you?
- Breach of Duty: Did they do something that put you at risk of harm that a reasonable person wouldn’t have done in the same situation? Some examples are speeding, running a light, or driving drunk.
- Causation: Did that breach cause your injuries?
- Damages: How were you affected by the accident, and what is the value of your claim based on what happened?
The insurance adjusters will work to find evidence to disprove these things or to lower their value so they won’t have to pay you as much. Don’t let them get away with it. Instead, contact Simmrin Law Group now to speak with a Compton pedestrian accident lawyer.

What Damages Can I Claim?
Our pedestrian accident attorneys in Compton will seek evidence to figure out the true value of all of your damages. Never accept an insurance company’s settlement offer without first speaking with an attorney. They may be leaving out parts of your compensation like:
- All of your medical expenses
- Lost wages
- Property damage
- Out-of-pocket expenses related to your accident
- Pain and suffering
- And more
You deserve to get the full value of your claim, but once you agree to a settlement, you cannot ask for more later. So make sure you’re getting the most that you can by working with a lawyer as soon as possible after your accident.
A good lawyer can get you more than you could on your own even after they take their fee. Simmrin Law Group only gets paid when you win. If we take your case and you get nothing in the end, you will owe us nothing for our help. That’s our promise to you.

Your Case May Be Worth More Than You Think
Insurers know pedestrians suffer more severe injuries and take longer to recover on average than other vehicle accident victims. They will seek to settle your case as quickly as they can for as little as they can, but your case may be worth much more than you think.
Don’t let an insurance company dictate how much you should get. Instead, get an informed opinion by working with Simmrin Law Group. We’ll investigate what happened to you to discover the full impact of your accident on you, your family, and your life.
From that evidence, we can calculate the true value of your damages and fight to get you a fair settlement. If they refuse to settle, we’re prepared to take the insurer to court to argue your case there. If we believe this is necessary to get justice, we can discuss this possibility with you.

What Evidence Do I Need to Bring to the Consultation?
Many pedestrian accident victims don’t have a chance to collect crash evidence because they’re too badly hurt. By the time you wake up, all you may know is that you were hit, you’re hurting, and you don’t know what happened.
Our crash investigators can find out what happened and tell you if you have a case. We can speak with the police and the hospital about what happened and obtain crash reports, medical records, and sometimes eyewitness testimony.
So do not fear if you do not know the details of what happened. We have decades of experience helping accident victims prove their cases. See what we can do for you with a free consultation. We’ll answer your questions and give you clarity on how to proceed.

Hit-and-Run Pedestrian Accidents
Some drivers flee the scene of pedestrian accidents, whether from guilt or negligence. This is illegal, and it can make it difficult to get compensation. However, there are ways our pedestrian accident lawyers in Compton can discover who hit you and make them pay.
We will work with the police and government agencies to find out who owned the car that hit you. A security camera may have caught the plate, or there may have been an eyewitness. If so, we can make our way through the records to find the owner and their insurer.
In the meantime, we’ll also help you make a claim against your uninsured motorist coverage if you have it. This coverage also covers hit-and-run accident victims. It can be a quick way to get some compensation for your injuries while the police search for the driver. Once found, we can proceed with a full claim.
