California Pedestrian Accident Lawyer

Pedestrian accidents can cause life-altering injuries and emotional trauma. At BD&J, PC, we understand the devastating impact these incidents have on victims and their families. With over $1.5 billion recovered for injury victims, our team is committed to securing justice and maximum compensation for those injured due to negligence on California’s roadways.

Understanding the Rise in Pedestrian Accidents

In recent years, California has seen a disturbing increase in pedestrian accidents, particularly in densely populated areas like Los Angeles, San Francisco, and San Diego. Factors such as distracted driving, excessive speed, poorly marked crosswalks, and inadequate street lighting contribute to these incidents. Pedestrians are among the most vulnerable road users, and even low-speed collisions can result in catastrophic injuries or death.

Common Causes of Pedestrian Accidents

Our legal team has handled a wide range of pedestrian accident cases, many of which involve:

• Driver Inattention or Distraction – Use of cell phones, navigation systems, or other distractions while driving.
• Speeding in Residential or School Zones – Reduced reaction time increases the likelihood of accidents.
• Failure to Yield at Crosswalks – Drivers ignoring pedestrian rights-of-way.
• Driving Under the Influence – Alcohol or drug impairment significantly increases crash risks.
• Poor Urban Planning – Lack of pedestrian signals or sidewalks, especially in lower-income communities.

Injuries Commonly Sustained by Pedestrians

Unlike drivers and passengers, pedestrians have no physical protection when struck by a vehicle. As a result, injuries are often severe and include:

• Traumatic brain injuries (TBIs)
• Spinal cord injuries and paralysis
• Broken bones and fractures
• Internal bleeding and organ damage
• Lacerations, road rash, and permanent scarring
• Psychological trauma and PTSD

These injuries may require prolonged medical treatment, rehabilitation, or lifelong care. Our goal is to ensure that all current and future damages are taken into account in your claim.
