Accidents involving pedestrians caused 14 percent of all traffic fatalities in 2012, as well as thousands of catastrophic injuries.

With help from expert Venice CA pedestrian accident attorney Michael A. Kahn, you can get the legal help you need to exercise your rights under the law and secure the compensation you deserve.
Why You Need a Venice CA Pedestrian Accident Attorney
Some pedestrian accidents are caused by jaywalking or other reckless behavior on the part of the pedestrian, but it is more common for a motorist to cause the accident. In certain cases, additional parties may also be liable for the accident. For example, maybe a sign indicating a crosswalk had been knocked down and never replaced, in which case the entity responsible for road signage and maintenance would share liability. In this case there is likely to be significant opposition to your claim. Without an expert Venice CA pedestrian accident lawyer on your side, you risk having your rights trampled by the other side’s attorneys or insurance agents.
