According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), there are about 4,000 pedestrian deaths and 60,000 serious injuries each year from pedestrian/motor vehicle accidents.

Pedestrians injured by negligent vehicle drivers can suffer broken bones; ruptured or torn muscles, tendons, and ligaments; ruptured or herniated discs; nerve damage; paralysis, including paraplegia and quadriplegia; minor, moderate or severe head or brain injury; amputations; or even wrongful death.

The #1 Question in Pedestrian Accidents is “Who had the right of way?” and the #2 Question is “What opportunity did the driver and pedestrian have to see and avoid the accident?”

After an in-depth investigation, Ralph Slater, a Personal Injury Attorney in Chico with 33 years of experience in his field, can determine if an accident reconstruction expert is necessary to prove the motorist caused the crash, that you could not have avoided it, and that you were not at fault.

Even if you were partially at fault or it was a hit-and-run accident, Mr. Slater can recover a settlement for you. He can retain the services of a Medical Doctor specialist to explain to an insurance company in writing, and to a jury at a trial if necessary, the nature and extent of your injuries and what the future holds for you.

Mr. Slater has successfully tried dozens of jury trials and has a 98% rate of success in settling cases, he knows the traffic laws including pedestrian laws, and he will personally handle your case.  All of Mr. Slater’s ases are handled on a contingency fee basis; that is, his fees are tied to amount of compensation you receive. If he does not win a recovery, you owe him nothing. “No Win-No Pay” – now that’s confidence!
