Orange County Pedestrian Accident Lawyer
It costs you nothing to learn if we can help you. All consultations are free. I represent victims on a contingency basis. You'll pay no attorney fees unless damages are recovered.
Purcell Law has successfully represented individuals and families against insurance companies and large corporations in Orange County and Southern California for the over 20 years. We utilize skill and knowledge to pursue the compensation you and your family deserve through mediation, arbitration or trial.
In pedestrian accidents, we work with investigators and accident deconstructionists to measure skid marks, evaluate damages, and gather evidence or witnesses. We arduously work to have the guilty party held liable for their negligent actions and pursue compensation for past and present medical expenses, emotional trauma and other damages caused by the pedestrian accident.
Insurance companies will try to seek the lowest settlement possible, so don't try to settle with the insurance companies on your own. Contact our Orange County personal injury attorney to obtain helpful legal advice and effective representation.

California state laws give pedestrians the right of way and drivers are responsible to stop or yield at all crosswalks to allow pedestrians to cross the road. If the driver fails to do so and causes a serious injury or death to a pedestrian, the driver should be held responsible for any injuries and damages.
If you or a loved one has been seriously injured because of a negligent driver, you may be entitled to receive compensation for personal injury and other damages. Contact Purcell Law to learn your rights and pursue the compensation you deserve.
