Sacramento Pedestrian Accident Lawyers
Fair Compensation for Injured Pedestrians
When a 3,000 pound vehicle collides with an unprotected pedestrian, the injuries are usually severe and often deadly. Sadly, a large portion of those killed in pedestrian accidents are young children. If you have been injured or a loved one was hit by a car or other vehicle and killed by another person's negligence in or around Sacramento, you need a strong and compassionate advocate on your side who is committed to helping you get the compensation you need and deserve.
At Piering Law Firm, our Sacramento personal injury lawyers handle your claims with competence and compassion. We handle cases involving all types of automobile accidents on a contingency basis, so you only pay us when we win. Se hablaespañol.

- The proportion of people killed "outside the vehicle" (including pedestrians, motorcyclists, and other non-vehicle occupants) in motor vehicle accidents has increased from a low of 20% in 1996 to a high if 34% in 2019.
- Pedestrian fatalities in urban areas have increased by 62% since 2010.
Pedestrians Hit by Cars, Trucks, Motorcycles, or Other Motor Vehicles
Insurance companies will do whatever it takes to deny an injured pedestrian rightful compensation. They may try to prove that you or your loved one was at fault for the accident because you did not look where you were walking or were struck while running between two cars. Our Sacramento pedestrian injury lawyers are familiar with these tactics, and have the knowledge and resources to counter them with facts.
We work with accident reconstructionists, who will evaluate your case and determine the true cause of your accident. We also work with medical experts who will testify as to the severity of your injuries. Our pedestrian accident attorneys will also take the time to understand how your injuries have impacted your quality of life. Then we will aggressively pursue compensation that reflects the full extent of your loss.
