How Can a California Pedestrian Accident Attorney Help?

A pedestrian accident often results in severe, debilitating injuries. A pedestrian is the most vulnerable road user. They do not have any protection from vehicles that weigh thousands of pounds. If you suffered a life-changing injury in an accident that was caused by a negligent motorist, you deserve justice and compensation. 

At the Ibrahim Law Firm, a California pedestrian accident lawyer will handle every aspect of your case as you focus on your recovery. When you hire a member of our legal team, it can give you a better chance of securing fair compensation from an insurance company. We will take the insurance company head-on and hold them accountable for the harm you have suffered. 

Hiring an attorney on our legal team can give you an advantage during settlement negotiations. Our legal team is familiar with the tricks and tactics insurance companies will use to minimize payout or deny a claim.

Your attorney will handle all communication with the claims adjusters as you focus on recovering from your injuries.

Other ways our attorneys can help during this stressful time can include:

  • Investigating your accident
  • Gathering evidence
  • Consulting with experts
  • Assessing damages
  • Filing paperwork
  • Handling all communication with the insurance company
  • Negotiating a fair settlement
  • Filing a lawsuit on your behalf, if necessary
  • Representing you in court

During this time, as you focus on your recovery and moving forward with your life, our legal team will focus on fighting for the fair compensation you deserve. If the insurance company refuses to make a reasonable settlement offer, our legal team will prepare your case for trial.

Our trial-tested attorneys have extensive experience in the courtroom and will present your case before a judge and jury. Fortunately, the majority of the time these cases are settled out of court. An insurance company does not want to waste time and money on a long and costly trial.
