Every Type of Pedestrian Accident Case in California

If another driver’s negligence caused your accident, LyfeLaw will investigate, negotiate, and fight to recover everything you are owed.

Crosswalk Accidents

The most common pedestrian accident type in LA. Drivers turning or failing to yield at crosswalks cause severe injuries, even at low speeds. Don’t let the insurer minimize your claim.

Parking Lot Accidents

Backing vehicles and low visibility make parking lots a common site for pedestrian injuries. Liability often falls on the driver, but property owners can share fault too.

School Zone Accidents

Accidents near schools involve heightened driver duties and potential additional penalties for speed violations.

DUI Driver vs. Pedestrian

A drunk driver who strikes a pedestrian faces civil liability including punitive damages on top of full compensation.

Driver Ran Red Light

Drivers who run red lights and strike pedestrians face clear liability. We gather traffic camera footage and witness statements immediately.

Bus Stop Accidents

Metro and city bus companies may carry municipal liability for pedestrians struck at or near bus stops.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This team made my first attorney experience easier than I expected. They were quick with any updates. I hardly had to call them first because they were always on top of my case. Will and his teammates were always very kind and polite. They always made time for my questions and concerns. I would definitely recommend them to my friends and family because I know they will be treated with the same courtesy and care.

Pedestrian Accident Lawyer in Los Angeles — Your Rights After Being Hit

Los Angeles is one of the most dangerous cities in the nation for pedestrians. Thousands of people are struck by vehicles in LA each year. If you were hit by a car, truck, or other vehicle while walking, you have the right to full compensation for your injuries and LyfeLaw will fight to get it.

California Pedestrian Right-of-Way Laws

Under California Vehicle Code 21950, drivers must yield to pedestrians crossing the road within any marked or unmarked crosswalk at an intersection. Drivers must also exercise due care for the safety of any pedestrian at all times. Violations of these duties create strong liability for the driver.

Government Liability for Dangerous Crosswalks

If a dangerous crosswalk design, missing markings, or malfunctioning traffic signals contributed to your accident, the City of Los Angeles or another government entity may share liability. Government tort claims in California must generally be filed within six months call LyfeLaw immediately if a dangerous road condition was involved.

Pedestrians Accident FAQs

What are my rights as a pedestrian in California?

California law requires drivers to yield to pedestrians in marked and unmarked crosswalks and exercise due care at all times. Pedestrians have strong legal protections.

Can I recover if I was jaywalking?

Yes, potentially. California’s pure comparative negligence rule means your recovery is reduced by your percentage of fault but not eliminated. Even 40% at fault, you can recover 60% of your damages.

What if the driver claims they didn't see me?

‘I didn’t see the pedestrian’ is not a defense — it’s an admission of failure to keep a proper lookout. We use accident reconstruction to establish what the driver should have seen.

What is the statute of limitations for pedestrian accidents?

Two years from the date of the accident in most cases. If a government vehicle was involved, you may have as little as six months to file a tort claim.

What if I was struck in a parking lot?

Parking lots are private property but drivers owe pedestrians the same duty of care. Property owners may also share liability if the parking lot design contributed.
