Motor Vehicle Accidents
Crosswalk, sidewalk, and intersection collisions involving pedestrians.
Pedestrian accidents often produce catastrophic injuries or death because the human body has no protection against a moving vehicle. Los Angeles has one of the highest pedestrian fatality rates in the country, with high-injury corridors concentrated in dense, high-traffic areas.
California law requires drivers to yield to pedestrians in marked and unmarked crosswalks, and to exercise due care for pedestrian safety. But drivers speeding, running red lights, making unsafe turns, and driving distracted continue to cause devastating pedestrian collisions. Our attorneys help injured pedestrians and grieving families pursue justice.
