Monterey County Pedestrian Accident Attorneys
Seeking Out Justice for the Victim
A pedestrian accident is an all-too-common occurrence that often results in severe injuries or death. When a person on foot is struck by a motor vehicle, it is often due to driver negligence. If you have been injured by a negligent driver, you may be entitled to compensation. Our Monterey County pedestrian accident lawyers can review the circumstances of your case and help you fight for the compensation you deserve.
The Impact of Driver Negligence
When pedestrians are struck by motor vehicles, driver negligence is often to blame.
The following factors are frequently involved in pedestrian accidents:
- Driver inattention
- Speeding
- Driver failure to yield to pedestrian right of way
- Driver failure to observe traffic signals
- Driver intoxication
- Poorly lit road conditions
Speeding can be a major contributing factor to pedestrian accidents because a speeding driver is less likely to see pedestrians or to be able to stop quickly enough to avoid hitting them. It is important to have an attorney who can analyze all the circumstances that led up to an accident, recreate how the accident happened, and aggressively fight for proper compensation for injured parties. The experienced injury attorneys at our firm provide clients with the most competent and aggressive legal representation in cases of driver negligence.
Pedestrians can also put themselves at risk if they fail to exercise caution while crossing the street or walking along roadways. It can be difficult to prove the exact cause of a pedestrian accident, but the skilled and experienced professionals at our firm can gather evidence and build a strong case for accident victims.
Bicycles & Pedestrians
Cars, trucks, motorcycles, and bicycles can all be involved in pedestrian accidents. Bicycles frequently collide with pedestrians—often causing serious injury to both cyclist and pedestrian. When you suffer an injury in a bicycle accident with a pedestrian, contact a California bicycle accident attorney.

Case Studies
Client Suffers Arm Amputation as a Result of Property Owner’s Negligence
Our client was an invited guest to a “dude ranch” in Wyoming. During an exploratory drive through the ranch, the ranch’s owner stopped the farm vehicle in which all the guests were riding. Our client got out and was standing below the road when the brakes on the farm vehicle failed and it came hurtling through the air towards her, literally shearing off her left arm from the shoulder. Our client’s life was saved by urgent medical care, but she suffered massive disfiguring injuries as her arm could not be re-attached. The Biegel Law Firm was able to settle this case against three major defendants for the total of the insurance policies on the ranch or the sum of $1,700,000.00.
