Long Beach Pedestrian Accident Lawyer

Hit by a car while walking in Long Beach? Pedestrians have the right of way in crosswalks — and suffer the worst injuries when drivers fail to yield. Our pedestrian accident lawyers fight for the full compensation you deserve – $100M+ recovered, no fee unless we win.

Long Beach Offices

Long Beach is a walkable city — Downtown, the Pike, 2nd Street, the beach paths, and busy crossings along PCH and Ocean Blvd see foot traffic all day. But heavy traffic and distracted drivers make those same crossings dangerous. Our office is right here on Ocean Blvd, and we know the intersections where pedestrians get hit and how to prove a driver failed to yield the right of way.

Can’t come to us? We offer virtual meetings and, if your injuries keep you from traveling, home and hospital visits.

Pedestrian Right of Way and Driver Duty in California

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:

  • Failure to yield at crosswalks and intersections
  • Distracted driving — texting or phone use
  • Drivers turning without checking for pedestrians
  • Speeding through residential and pedestrian areas
  • Running red lights and stop signs
  • Failure to yield when backing up in lots and driveways
  • Drunk or impaired driving

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.

Serious Pedestrian Injuries and Compensation

With no protection from the impact, pedestrians struck by vehicles suffer some of the most severe injuries of any accident victim. Our pedestrian accident attorneys handle cases involving:

  • Traumatic brain injuries and skull fractures
  • Spinal cord injuries and paralysis
  • Multiple fractures and crush injuries
  • Internal organ damage
  • Severe lacerations and road rash

We pursue full compensation for your medical bills, future care, lost wages and earning capacity, pain and suffering, and disability. If the driver who hit you was uninsured or fled the scene, we also pursue your uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage to make sure you’re not left paying for someone else’s negligence.
