?‍♂️ 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.

⭐ Why Pedestrian Accident Cases Are Different

Pedestrian accidents involve unique legal and medical challenges:

  • Pedestrians have no protection, leading to severe injuries.

  • Insurance companies frequently argue that the pedestrian “wasn’t in the crosswalk” — even when that doesn’t relieve driver liability.

  • There may be multiple responsible parties, including drivers, rideshare companies, commercial vehicle operators, or even government entities for dangerous roadway conditions.

  • Cases often involve permanent disability, surgeries, traumatic brain injuries, and long-term care.

You need a lawyer who understands the complexities of California pedestrian law and how to maximize your recovery.

? Common Causes of Pedestrian Accidents

Most pedestrian accidents in California involve one or more of the following:

  • Distracted driving (texting or using a phone)

  • Speeding or reckless driving

  • Left-turn and right-turn collisions

  • Failure to yield at crosswalks

  • Rideshare and delivery-driver negligence

  • Red-light and stop-sign violations

  • Backing-up accidents in parking lots

  • DUI drivers

  • Dangerous intersections or poor visibility

These cases require a detailed investigation and fast action to preserve evidence.

? Common Injuries in Pedestrian Collisions

Because pedestrians are unprotected, injuries are often severe:

  • Broken bones and fractures

  • Traumatic brain injuries

  • Spinal cord injuries

  • Internal bleeding

  • Severe lacerations and scarring

  • Pelvic injuries

  • Long-term disability

I work with medical experts, life-care planners, and investigators to document the true impact of your injuries.

⚖️ 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.

? Compensation Available to Pedestrian Accident Victims

Depending on the facts of your case, you may be entitled to compensation for:

  • Medical bills & future medical care

  • Lost wages & loss of earning capacity

  • Pain and suffering

  • Permanent disability

  • Scarring & disfigurement

  • Emotional trauma

  • Wrongful death damages (if applicable)

I pursue every available insurance policy, including rideshare, commercial, umbrella, and underinsured motorist coverage.

  • Direct communication with a licensed California attorney

  • No fees unless we win

  • Proven results in serious injury cases
