Each pedestrian accident case is different. The sooner we determine the cause of your accident and establish fault for your case, the quicker we can pinpoint who is responsible for paying for your costly damages.
Determining Fault in a Pedestrian Accident Case
Determining fault is not always simple or clear-cut with pedestrian accidents.
We need to complete an investigation to determine which party is to blame. Often times the party to blame for a pedestrian accident is:
- Driver: when a driver engages in distracted driving, driving under the influence, or failing to follow local laws of the road
- Manufacturer: when the manufacturer of the automobile fails to provide proper safety warnings or sells a defective product
- City/state: if the local city or state fails to maintain roads and sidewalks properly
Pedestrian Accident Statute of Limitations
requires us to file all pedestrian accident lawsuits within two years from the date of the accident. If the accident resulted in the wrongful death of your loved one, we have only two years from the date of the death to file a claim.
Waiting too long to file a case can make it difficult for us to collect the necessary documentation to support your pedestrian accident case. Make sure you contact a pedestrian accident lawyer in Miami as soon as possible by calling Chalik & Chalik Injury Lawyers at 305-944-2035.
