The Unthinkable Happens

Understanding Pedestrian Accidents

Walking should be a safe and enjoyable way to travel, but unfortunately, pedestrians are at risk of being involved in accidents with motor vehicles. Whether crossing the street, using a crosswalk, or walking along the sidewalk, pedestrians are vulnerable to serious injuries when drivers fail to exercise caution and adhere to traffic laws.

In California, pedestrian accidents are alarmingly common. According to data from the California Office of Traffic Safety (OTS), thousands of pedestrians are injured or killed in traffic collisions each year. Factors contributing to these accidents include distracted driving, speeding, failure to yield, and impaired driving.

Frequently Asked Questions

Who is at fault when a car hits a pedestrian?

Drivers owe pedestrians a high duty of care. Fault depends on the facts, and the driver is often responsible, even when the pedestrian was outside a crosswalk.

What if I was crossing outside a crosswalk?

You may still recover. Under comparative negligence your compensation is reduced by your share of fault rather than barred.

How much is a pedestrian accident case worth?

Pedestrian injuries are often severe, so claims can be significant, but value depends on your medical care, lost income, and lasting effects.

What if the driver fled the scene?

A hit-and-run does not necessarily end your claim. Your uninsured motorist coverage may apply, and we work to identify the driver through video and witnesses.

What if a city or government vehicle hit me?

Claims against a public entity usually require a formal claim within six months, so it is important to contact a lawyer quickly.

How long do I have to file in California?

Generally two years, but much shorter when a government entity is involved, so act early.

Who pays my medical bills while the case is pending?

Often your health insurance or MedPay pays first, and some providers will treat on a lien until the case resolves. We help coordinate care.

How much does a pedestrian accident lawyer cost?

Nothing upfront. We work on contingency, so you owe no attorney's fees unless we recover, and the consultation is free.

What should I do after being hit as a pedestrian?

Get medical care, call the police, photograph the scene, and collect driver and witness information. Then speak with a lawyer to protect the evidence.

Do you handle pedestrian accident cases statewide?

Yes. We represent injured pedestrians throughout California from our Woodland Hills office.
