A Glendale Pedestrian Accident Lawyer Can Help You Win Compensation
Collisions with pedestrians can happen in many ways, but here are a few ways that individuals have been harmed in Glendale:
- Drunk driving
- Distracted driving
- Reckless driving
- Road rage
- Mechanical issues and defects
- Roadway conditions
- Misunderstanding of school bus rules
- Failing to check blind spots
- Speeding
- Driver inexperience
- Not seeing a person in a blind spot while coming to a stop
It’s not unusual for the injured party to be a child, especially when that child is getting off the bus. There are a number of rules that drivers must follow, like not passing a stopped bus, even on the other side of the road. It might be easy for a driver to forget this and strike a parent or child crossing the road.
However, the driver may have lost control of their vehicle due to a maintenance or mechanical failure. At this point, the liability may fall upon the manufacturer of the car or the mechanic who failed to fix an operational issue.
Your attorney will do whatever they can to determine the real causation of your injuries and fight to hold the liable party accountable. In fact, we focus on one thing–standing up to the insurance companies who go out of their way to undervalue your claim. And so, whether it’s a private individual who is liable for your injuries or a big corporation, you won’t have to worry about your attorney backing down.

Keep in mind that we can help you and your family no matter what kind of vehicle was involved in the collision, including a car, truck, SUV, motorcycle, bike, trailer, or even an ATV. But first, we need to hear all about your case during your case evaluation, so schedule one today.

How Long Do I Have to File a Personal Injury Claim?
Under most circumstances you have only two years from the day the motor vehicle hit you to file a personal injury claim for a pedestrian accident. This follows an Arizona law known as the statute of limitations, which may allow you to receive any compensation if you do not file in time. This time limit, however, may vary depending on a few factors such as severity of injuries, location, jurisdictions, and entities involved. So, contact Lerner and Rowe as soon as possible in order to ensure that you don’t miss any key deadlines that could lessen your odds of recovering the compensation that you may deserve.
