Our experienced team can evaluate the facts of your case, discuss the viable avenues for compensation recovery, and serve as your counsel throughout the personal injury claims process.

What rights do pedestrians have after being hit by a car?

Pedestrians struck by negligent drivers have the right to pursue compensation for all resulting injuries and losses. California law takes pedestrian safety seriously, and drivers are required to yield to pedestrians in crosswalks and exercise reasonable care to avoid injuring them.

Does it matter if the pedestrian was not in a crosswalk?

Not necessarily. While jaywalking may be considered when determining comparative fault, it does not automatically eliminate your right to compensation. California's pure comparative fault rule means you can still recover damages proportional to the other party's share of fault.

What if I was hit by a car while walking in a parking lot?

Parking lot accidents involving pedestrians are unfortunately common. Drivers owe a duty of care to pedestrians in all contexts, including parking lots. Liability may rest with the driver, a property owner who failed to maintain safe conditions, or both.

What types of injuries do pedestrians commonly suffer?

Because pedestrians have no physical protection in a collision, injuries tend to be severe. Common injuries include broken bones, traumatic brain injury, spinal cord damage, internal bleeding, facial injuries, and, in many cases, fatalities.

How long do I have to file a pedestrian accident claim in California?

In most cases, you have two years from the date of the accident. If the vehicle involved belonged to a government agency, the deadline to file an administrative claim may be as short as six months. Consulting an attorney promptly is always recommended.

Can I recover damages if a delivery truck or commercial vehicle hits me?

Yes. If a commercial vehicle was involved, both the driver and the company that employs them may be liable. Commercial insurers tend to aggressively defend these claims, making legal representation especially important.

What role does surveillance footage play in a pedestrian accident case?

Surveillance cameras from nearby businesses, traffic systems, or dashcams can provide powerful evidence in pedestrian accident cases. This footage must be preserved quickly before it is overwritten. Your attorney can send preservation letters and gather this type of evidence on your behalf.

What compensation can a pedestrian accident victim recover?

You may be able to recover current and future medical costs, lost wages, loss of earning capacity, pain and suffering, and costs related to long-term rehabilitation or disability. In fatal cases, surviving family members may pursue wrongful death claims.
