San Jose Trucking Accident Lawyer
Pedestrian Accidents
When a car hits a pedestrian, the results can be devastating, but when a truck hits a pedestrian, the results are usually fatal. When pedestrians are struck by cars that weigh an average of 3,000 pounds, they may escape accidents with serious injuries. However, when pedestrians are hit by trucks that can more than a couple tons, they may not survive as many pedestrian accidents involving trucks have been known cause fatalities.
Once pedestrians have been hit by trucks, if they survive, they will most likely have sustained catastrophic injuries. These injuries may range from multiple fractures, to brain injuries to paralyzing spinal cord injuries. Injuries like these are considered catastrophic because they occur unexpectedly and because they demand ongoing medical treatment and observation. Even with persistent medical treatment, victims may never fully recover. This means that they will have to cope with their injuries, side effects and pain for the reminder of their lives.
Personal Injury Claims & Pedestrian Accidents
Anytime pedestrians have been involved in collisions with trucks and have sustained injuries, they owe it to themselves to meet with a skilled personal injury lawyer. In some cases, if truck driver negligence and/or trucking company negligence caused the accident, injured pedestrians may be allowed to file personal injury claims to collect monetary damages. However, it is never easy to prove negligence, which is why pedestrians will need help from a professional and experienced litigator.
