Pedestrian accident

Pedestrians have little protection in a collision, and injuries are often serious. We help you pursue compensation while you focus on healing.

## Help after a pedestrian injury

Most pedestrian cases involve a vehicle striking a person, but injuries can also happen on sidewalks, in parking lots, or at the roadside. Common injuries include traumatic brain injuries and serious damage to the legs, hips, and torso, which can have long-term effects.

More than one party may share responsibility. Depending on the circumstances, a driver, an employer, a vehicle owner, or a property owner who failed to maintain a safe walkway could be liable. We investigate to identify every responsible party.

## Standing up for injured pedestrians

We work on a contingency basis and offer free consultations, so it costs nothing to find out where you stand. If a fair settlement is not possible, we are prepared to take your case to trial.

Common questions

## Pedestrian accident FAQs

### Who can be held responsible in a pedestrian accident?

Often it is the driver, but responsibility can also fall on an employer if the driver was working, the vehicle's owner, another person who caused the collision, or a property owner who failed to maintain a safe walkway. We look at all of these possibilities.

### What if the driver had no insurance?

If your own auto policy includes uninsured or underinsured motorist coverage, you may be able to recover through your own insurer even as a pedestrian. We can help you understand how your coverage applies.

### How long do I have to file?

Most California injury claims must be filed within two years, with shorter deadlines for claims involving a government entity. Contact us early so you do not lose your right to recover. [CONFIRM: confirm the deadline that applies to your claim]
