Pedestrian Accidents

Whether you were crossing the street, walking through a parking lot, or simply heading down the sidewalk—pedestrians have the right to expect safety. But when a negligent driver fails to pay attention, the consequences for a pedestrian can be catastrophic.

​

At L WOOD LAW, we represent injured pedestrians across California. If you or someone you love was hit by a car, truck, or rideshare vehicle like Uber of Lyft, our team is ready to fight for full compensation and hold the at-fault party accountable.

​

California Law Protects Pedestrians

 

In California, pedestrians have the right of way in marked crosswalks and at many unmarked intersections. Still, reckless or inattentive drivers frequently ignore those laws—and innocent people pay the price.

​

Common causes of pedestrian accidents include:

​

• Speeding in residential or school zones

• Distracted driving (texting, GPS, etc.)

• Failing to yield at crosswalks

• Impaired or drowsy driving

• Rolling through stop signs or red lights

• Backing up without checking mirrors or blind spots

 

At L WOOD LAW, we investigate every detail of your accident to prove fault and fight for justice.

​

Serious Injuries Deserve Serious Advocacy

 

Pedestrians hit by vehicles often suffer life-changing injuries. With no protection, victims may experience:

​

• Traumatic brain injuries (TBI)

• Spinal cord injuries or paralysis

• Fractures and broken bones

• Internal bleeding and organ damage

• Facial injuries and dental trauma

• Permanent disability or disfigurement

 

We work with medical professionals and accident reconstruction experts to build a strong, evidence-based case that reflects the true impact of your injuries.

​

What Compensation Can You Recover?

 

When you're injured by someone else's negligence, you may be entitled to significant financial recovery for:

​

• Medical bills (emergency care, surgery, rehabilitation)

• Lost income and loss of future earning potential

• Pain and suffering

• Emotional trauma

• Disability or reduced quality of life

• Property damage (clothing, personal items)

• Wrongful death damages (if a loved one was fatally injured)

 

L WOOD LAW fights for full and fair compensation—not quick settlements that fall short of what you need to rebuild.

​

Don’t Let Insurance Companies Undervalue Your Case

 

Insurance companies often downplay the severity of pedestrian injuries or try to shift blame onto the victim. Don’t go it alone.

​

Let L WOOD LAW handle the insurance negotiations, protect your rights, and push back against unfair tactics. If necessary, we’re fully prepared to take your case to court.

​

Act Quickly—Deadlines Apply

 

Under California law, most pedestrian accident claims must be filed within two years of the incident. If your claim involves a city or government vehicle, you may have as little as six months to act.

​

The sooner you reach out, the stronger your case will be. We’ll help you take immediate steps to preserve evidence, document your injuries, and protect your legal rights.
