When a driver strikes someone on foot, the injuries can be life-changing. We stand up for pedestrians and their families.
Pedestrian Accidents
We represent pedestrians injured in crosswalks, parking lots, sidewalks and driveways, and families who have lost a loved one. We investigate how the collision happened and hold careless drivers accountable.
- Drivers failing to yield in crosswalks
- Distracted driving and phone use
- Speeding in residential areas
- Backing out of driveways and parking spaces
- Poor lighting at night
- Hit-and-run drivers
California Law
Drivers must yield to pedestrians in crosswalks
Under the California Vehicle Code, drivers must yield the right-of-way to pedestrians crossing within marked or unmarked crosswalks at intersections, and must exercise due care for pedestrian safety.
Free Consultation
Tell us what happened by phone, video, or in person. We listen, answer your questions, and explain your options in plain language.
Investigation
We gather reports, records, photos, and witness accounts to build a clear picture of who is responsible.
Claim & Negotiation
We handle the insurance companies and pursue compensation for medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
Resolution
Whether through settlement or, if necessary, litigation, we stay by your side and keep you informed every step of the way.
Medical expenses
Emergency care, hospital stays, surgery, therapy, medication and future treatment.
Lost income
Wages you missed while recovering and reduced ability to earn in the future.
Pain and suffering
Physical pain, emotional distress and the loss of enjoyment of daily life.
Property damage
Repair or replacement of your vehicle and other personal property.
Every case is different. No attorney can guarantee a particular result.
You may still have a claim. Drivers have a duty to exercise care, and California's comparative fault rule allows recovery even if you share some responsibility.
Report the crash to police right away. Your own uninsured motorist coverage, or a household member's, may apply to hit-and-run injuries.
