Hit by a car while walking in Los Angeles? Pedestrians have the right of way — and suffer the worst injuries when a driver fails to yield. Our pedestrian accident lawyers prove the driver’s fault and fight for the full compensation you deserve. Over $100 million recovered. No fee unless we win.
Los Angeles is one of the deadliest cities in the country for people on foot, and Downtown’s dense blocks put pedestrians, commuters, and tourists in constant contact with heavy traffic — Figueroa, Flower, 7th Street, and Broadway among them, several sitting on the city’s High Injury Network. Our office is right here on Flower Street in DTLA, and we know the intersections where pedestrians get hit and how to prove a driver failed to yield the right of way.
If you’re too injured to come to us, we’ll meet by phone or video, or visit you at home or in the hospital.
BHL Accident Lawyers has recovered over $100 million for injury victims, with a 99% success rate across more than 2,200 personal injury cases. Our Los Angeles pedestrian accident attorneys handle every claim on contingency — you pay nothing unless we win.
Under the California Vehicle Code, drivers must yield the right of way to pedestrians in marked and unmarked crosswalks and exercise extra care to avoid hitting anyone on foot. When a driver fails in that duty, they are typically liable for the crash. The most common causes of pedestrian accidents we handle include:
Even if you were crossing outside a crosswalk, you may still recover. California’s pure comparative negligence rule allows compensation even when a pedestrian shares some fault — and drivers are still required to use reasonable care to avoid a collision.
With nothing between them and a two-ton vehicle, pedestrians suffer some of the most severe injuries of any crash — many stabilized at trauma centers like LAC+USC. Our pedestrian accident attorneys handle cases involving:
We pursue full compensation for medical bills, future care, lost wages and earning capacity, pain and suffering, and disability. If the driver fled or was uninsured, we pursue your uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage.
