Pedestrian Accidents

Palm Desert Pedestrian Accident Attorney

Secure Compensation That Facilitates Your Recovery

As a state, California is renowned for its heavy traffic and high-density urban areas. In fact, many of the most popular—and populated—cities in The Golden State were specifically designed to accommodate cars, and consequently lack the basic elements of pedestrian networks, such as sidewalks and crosswalks. In 2017, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention released a report regarding the prevalence of pedestrian injuries in California. According to this report, an estimated 1.7 million pedestrian injuries were recorded between 2007-2013.

It can be notoriously difficult to determine fault in a pedestrian accident case because liability is often shared between the driver and the pedestrian. If you’ve been injured by the actions of a negligent driver, contact the Palm Desert pedestrian accident attorney at Barry Regar APLC. Our legal team can investigate your case and collect important evidence to prove that the negligent driver is responsible for your injuries.

Our Palm Desert pedestrian accident lawyer has over 40 years of experience. Call Barry Regar APLC at (760) 440-5643 to speak with a knowledgeable legal representative.

Determining Negligence in a Pedestrian Accident Case

The statute of limitations in California states that a plaintiff has 2 years to file a personal injury claim. However, it’s important to seek legal representation immediately because the success of your case ultimately depends on your legal team proving that the negligent driver is responsible for your injuries. If you wait too long, it gives the defendant’s insurance company additional time to investigate the case and manipulate the narrative before you even have a chance to take legal action. They may claim that you were equally or fully responsible for your injuries because you “walked in front of the defendant’s car” or were “jaywalking when the incident occurred.” We can correct any misinformation and redirect the negotiation process to work in your favor.

The driver may be considered liable for the accident if they were participating in the following negligent behaviors:

Speeding
Distracted driving
Driving while intoxicated
Fatigued driving

Some injured plaintiffs choose to accept inadequate settlement amounts because they need the damages to facilitate their financial and physical recovery process. Others prematurely accept the insurance company’s initial offer because they are afraid of pursuing legal action. Regardless, it’s important to remember that an insurance company’s priority is to save money. In fact, it’s not unusual for an insurance company to offer a settlement that doesn’t actually account for your medical expenses, lost wages, and other injury-related financial losses.

At Barry Regar APLC, we can examine your present and potential financial losses and negotiate for a settlement that actively meets your needs. We want to ensure that you’re awarded fair compensation that facilitates your recovery and prepares you for the next chapter of your life.

“I would highly recommend Barry to anyone needing good, strong representation in the courts.”
Many are quick to denigrate lawyers but not all lawyers deserve the reputation. I called Barry Regar on a Sunday afternoon and, unlike the others I Called, Barry returned my call quickly even though it was Sunday. After I gave Barry the history of my accident he acted quickly and decisively. He laid out how things would proceed, The expected timeline of events, and a clear understanding of his charges. Barry did not hand me off to an associate but rather was hands-on throughout the process. Barry communicated regularly, keeping me informed as to the progress he was making and what to expect. I never felt like he left me hanging. When I called him, he was always quick to answer the phone. Everything happened just as he said. We got the maximum from the other party. I would highly recommend Barry to anyone needing good, strong representation in the courts.

Barry Regar is a Top Personal Injury Lawyer with four decades of experience and fought my case with the Insurance Company and won! I am very pleased! I had a trip and fall accident and I was trying to get over the pain. A friend suggested I call Barry Regar and I'm glad I did! My pain got worse and I had many tests and Doctor appointments. Barry was so knowledgeable with personal insurance companies and Medicare and he solved many billing issues that kept coming up! Barry has impeccable follow-through and would always call me with questions or good news! He handled my claim expertly and made it so easy for me since I know nothing about personal injury law and it would have been a monumental task to do it myself. Barry's assistant was always there for me and as a team, they work wonderfully together and his door is always open! I was very pleased with the final results, it has made my life much easier.
