Our wrongful death lawyers are parents, too. We understand that no amount of money can ever truly compensate you for the loss of a child. But we can help by getting you compensation to pay for expenses and counseling and support services to help you better recover from your loss. In addition to actual expenses, we will also sue for damages for your emotional distress and pain and suffering.
Los Angeles Child Pedestrian Accident Attorneys / Wrongful Death of a Child Lawyers
An Increase in Fatal Pedestrian Accidents in Among Children in California
In 2009, California state-wide budget cuts led to a decrease in the number of children being transported to public schools by busses. But as the number of child pedestrians increased due to a reduction in bus services, the number of school crossing guards – even at major intersections – was dramatically reduced.
As a result of these changes, as well as a lack of pedestrian safety policies and designs, children are now among the population with the highest risk of suffering serious injury or death in pedestrian-vehicle collisions.

California Wrongful Death Legal Representation for Parents Who Have Lost a Child
There is nothing more painful than losing a child, especially when the loss results from the negligence or a careless driver. Our attorneys are not just legal professionals; we are parents, too, and understand that talking about the events can be painful and difficult. We also know that nothing can ever truly compensate you for the loss of a child. But as emotionally hard as sharing your story is, it is still very important that you talk with a personal injury lawyer with experience in accidents as soon as possible.
Our lawyers can help preserve evidence before it is lost or damaged, collect testimony from witnesses, and serve as an advocate, shielding you from the need to answer endless questions from insurance companies that often look for ways to blame the victim so that will not have to pay.
It is truly devastating to lose a child, and that pain can be made worse when all those who are responsible for your loss are not held accountable. That’s where our expert accident lawyers can help – we can get you justice and the compensation you deserve.
Our personal injury lawyers will uncover all the facts and circumstances surrounding your case and work hard to hold all parties responsible for the accident accountable for their actions. Depending on the circumstances of your case, other parties that we may be able to file a claim against include: More than one driver involved in the accident; establishments that violate liquor laws where it can be proven they contributed to putting a drunk driver on the road; employers of drivers; vehicle manufacturers; property owners; or government entities responsible for road construction and maintenance.
