Pedestrian accidents
A person on foot has no protection in a collision with a vehicle, so the injuries are often catastrophic. Drivers and their insurers are quick to shift blame to the pedestrian — which is exactly why the facts need to be locked down early.
What we handle
We represent pedestrians struck by vehicles — in crosswalks, at intersections, in parking lots, and by hit-and-run, distracted, or impaired drivers. These cases often involve serious injuries: head and brain trauma, spinal injuries, fractures, and internal injuries.
What to do next
Get medical attention right away
Some of the most serious injuries — head and internal — aren’t obvious at the scene.
Make sure there’s a police report
Get the report number and, if you can, photos of the scene and the vehicle.
Collect witness information
Independent witnesses are powerful when a driver tries to blame the pedestrian.
Don’t deal with the driver’s insurer alone
They will look for any statement that shifts fault onto you.
Our approach
We reconstruct the collision using the police report, surveillance footage, and witness accounts, document your injuries fully, and build the claim for trial. In California you generally have two years to file — sometimes less — so it’s important to act early.
Personal injury cases are handled on a contingency fee — there is no fee unless we recover for you, and the consultation is free.
