LOS ANGELES PEDESTRIAN ACCIDENT ATTORNEYS

If you or a loved one has been involved in a pedestrian accident in California, the personal injury attorneys of Law Office Vahdat & Aboudi APLC can help you. More often than not, pedestrians blame themselves for the injuries they have sustained, and is rarely the case. In fact, in the majority of the cases, the party at fault is the one who is operating the vehicle or is the motorist. Pedestrian accidents often have severe injuries, even if it is a minor pedestrian accident.

In California, the number of pedestrian accidents has increased over the last couple of years. For instance, it has been reported that, in 2011, pedestrian fatalities increased 3.9 percent from 601 to 625. Unfortunately, the number of pedestrian seniors has also increased substantially. The number of pedestrian accidents is on the rise due to the negligence of motorists on the road, drunk driving, texting, speeding, driving recklessly, or other forms of distracted driving. If you have been seriously injured while crossing the street or walking down the sidewalk, you may have a valid claim against the party who caused you the injuries.

Under the California Vehicle Code, pedestrians have certain rights, including:

• The right to cross certain highways and crosswalks in designated crossing areas
• The right of way when in a crosswalk, either on a green light or if there is no control light
• A car must yield to a pedestrian who is properly crossing a highway

If a driver violates the vehicle code and hits a pedestrian who is lawfully crossing in a crosswalk or in a designated area of a highway, that driver may be liable for negligence and have to pay damages for the physical, emotional, and economic injuries, to the injured pedestrian.
