?‍♂️ California Pedestrian Accident Attorney Protecting Injured Victims

California has some of the highest pedestrian injury and fatality rates in the nation. Distracted driving, speeding, failure to yield, and unsafe intersections contribute to thousands of preventable crashes every year.

When a pedestrian is struck by a moving vehicle, the injuries are often catastrophic — and insurance companies immediately work to minimize their financial exposure.
That’s where I come in.

I represent pedestrian accident victims throughout California, including major metropolitan areas and smaller cities statewide.

?‍⚖️ Who I Help After Pedestrian Accidents in Long Beach

I represent injured pedestrians throughout Long Beach, Los Angeles County County, and nearby areas including Agoura Hills, Alhambra, Arcadia, and Artesia.

I routinely help:

– adults hit in crosswalks or at intersections
– children struck while walking, biking, or playing
– pedestrians hit in parking lots, driveways, or on private property

If you were walking, jogging, or standing when a vehicle hit you, I can help you understand your rights and your options.

?‍♂️ Why Pedestrian Accidents in Long Beach Are Different

When a person is hit by a car, truck, rideshare vehicle, or other motorist in Long Beach, the injuries are often severe — and the legal issues are more complicated than a normal fender bender.

In many pedestrian accident cases:

– the driver was distracted, speeding, or failed to yield at a crosswalk
– multiple insurers may become involved (auto, umbrella, rideshare, commercial policies)
– the pedestrian is unfairly blamed for “not paying attention” or “darting into traffic”

My job is to cut through the excuses and focus on what really happened — and who is responsible.

 ⚠️ Common Causes of Pedestrian Crashes in Long Beach

Many pedestrian injuries in Long Beach are caused by:

– distracted or texting drivers
– speeding and failure to yield at crosswalks
– drivers running red lights or stop signs
– drunk or drug-impaired drivers
– rideshare drivers focused on their app, not the road
– vehicles turning right on red without checking the crosswalk
– poor visibility, unsafe parking lot designs, or dangerous intersections

Even if the police report seems to blame you, that does not mean you don’t have a valid case. Reports are often incomplete or simply wrong.

? Pedestrian Injuries Are Often Severe

Unlike occupants inside a vehicle, pedestrians have almost no protection when a crash occurs. Injuries can be life-changing and may require long-term treatment.

Common injuries include:

– fractures and broken bones
– head injuries and traumatic brain injuries (TBI)
– spinal injuries, herniated discs, and nerve damage
– internal injuries and organ damage
– severe cuts, lacerations, and scarring
– psychological trauma, anxiety, and PTSD

A major part of your case is fully documenting the medical and emotional impact of the collision — not just what happened in the emergency room.

⚖️ California Laws That Protect Pedestrians

California Vehicle Code and case law provide strong protections for pedestrians, including:

• Drivers must yield to pedestrians in crosswalks.

• Drivers must exercise due care to avoid striking pedestrians.

• Even if a pedestrian is outside a marked crosswalk, the driver may still be liable.

• Rideshare drivers and commercial operators have additional insurance requirements.

Understanding these laws is critical to maximizing your compensation.

? What Compensation May Be Available

Every case is different, but pedestrian accident victims in Long Beach may be entitled to recover compensation for:

– emergency room care, hospitalization, and surgery
– follow-up treatment, physical therapy, and rehabilitation
– lost wages and loss of future earning capacity
– pain, suffering, and emotional distress
– permanent disability, disfigurement, and loss of enjoyment of life
– in tragic cases, wrongful death losses suffered by the family

Serious pedestrian injuries can affect your health, your work, and your family for years. A fair settlement should reflect all of these harms — not just your initial medical bills.

? How Liability & Insurance Work in California Pedestrian Cases

In California, negligent drivers can be held responsible when they hit pedestrians in Long Beach or anywhere else in Los Angeles County County.

Depending on the facts, there may be several potential sources of coverage:

– the at-fault driver’s auto insurance
– underinsured or uninsured motorist coverage (UM/UIM)
– rideshare or commercial policies if a company vehicle was involved
– additional umbrella or excess insurance in serious injury cases

My office works to identify every possible insurance policy so you are not left with unpaid medical bills and lost wages.

 ⏱ What To Do After a Pedestrian Accident in Long Beach

After being hit as a pedestrian in Long Beach, it is important to:

– get prompt medical care and follow your doctor’s orders
– document your injuries with photos and keep all medical records
– obtain the incident or police report if one exists
– avoid giving recorded statements to insurance adjusters
– contact a California pedestrian accident lawyer as soon as possible

The sooner I can begin working on your case, the easier it is to preserve evidence and push back against insurance company tactics.
