Why You Need a Pedestrian Accident Lawyer
A pedestrian hit by a car has no protection and faces an insurer looking to shift blame. Local, experienced representation levels the field.
Pedestrian Injuries Are Severe
With no protection, a person hit by a car often suffers fractures, head trauma, or worse. We build claims that account for the full, long-term cost of a serious injury.
Drivers and Insurers Blame the Pedestrian
They will claim you crossed against the light or stepped out suddenly. We investigate the scene and use California’s comparative fault rules to protect your recovery.
We Find Every Source of Coverage
Hit-and-run and uninsured drivers are common. We pursue the at-fault driver and your own uninsured motorist coverage so you are not left paying for someone else’s mistake.
Local Knowledge of South OC Crossings
We know the intersections and roads where these crashes happen, and we use that in building your case.

What South OC pedestrians ask us
What should I do after being hit by a car?
Get medical attention, document the scene and the driver’s information if you can, be careful what you say about fault, and call us before speaking with the insurer.
The driver says I was jaywalking. Can I still recover?
Usually yes. In California, being partly at fault reduces your recovery but does not bar it, and drivers still have a duty to avoid hitting people.
The driver had no insurance or fled the scene. What now?
You may still recover through your own uninsured or underinsured motorist coverage or other sources. We find every available policy.
How long do I have to file in California?
Most California pedestrian injury claims have a two-year deadline, and it is shorter when a government vehicle or a dangerous road is involved. Evidence fades fast, so call early.
What is my pedestrian case worth?
It depends on your injuries, treatment, lost income, and the coverage available. Pedestrian injuries are often severe, so values can be higher. We give you an honest read after we review the facts.
