Are you searching for an experienced Mission Viejo pedestrian accident and hit and run lawyer with local offices? The Law Firm of Rivers Morrell is conveniently located of the 5 and Crown Valley Parkway in Mission Viejo, as well as offices in Irvine. Pedestrian accidents have been increasing year over year for several years here in Southern California. This is due to a number of factors including incredible year-round weather, visitors from around the world and the natural rhythms of life here in Orange County and Los Angeles.
An increasing number of pedestrian accidents recently have been hit and runs. After more than 40 years as a personal injury attorney I am still astonished that a driver can hit another person with their car and leave the scene of the accident. I understand that shock plays a role, as does DUI and uninsured motorists. We work with our injured clients in hit and run cases to recover from their own UM/UIM coverage on their auto insurance policy. Many injury victims are not aware they have this important coverage which covers injuries from hit and run accidents as well as when the driver at fault has little or no insurance coverage.
Many of these accidents occur in the parking lots of businesses or the busy streets of highly visited cities such as Anaheim, Huntington Beach or Newport Beach. Pedestrians are no match for the weight and force associated with a motor vehicle. These accidents often result in serious and in some cases permanent injuries. This is why it is so important to have an experienced Mission Viejo pedestrian accident and hit and run lawyer.
If you or someone you love has been injured as a pedestrian or bicycle rider by a motor vehicle or hit and run driver we invite you to review the recommendations of our clients and the legal industry and contact us or call (949)305-1400 for a free consultation.
