Pedestrian accidents often happen because drivers ignore traffic laws or aren’t paying attention. They can occur in places like parking lots, sidewalks, crosswalks or trails. Knowing these common causes helps prove liability in your case.
Drivers who are texting, talking on the phone, or otherwise distracted may not see a pedestrian until it’s too late to avoid a collision.
Many pedestrian accidents occur at intersections when drivers fail to yield the right of way to a pedestrian, resulting in a side-impact or head-on collision.
Rain, fog, and bad weather reduce visibility, making it harder for drivers to see pedestrians. Drivers must slow down and drive carefully in these conditions.
Victims of pedestrian accidents in California may be entitled to several types of compensation, depending on the severity of their injuries and the impact on their lives.

If possible, move to a safe spot away from traffic. Check yourself and others for injuries and call 911. Even if you feel okay, seek medical attention—some injuries show up later.
Put your safety first. Even minor injuries need medical attention, as some serious issues like internal bleeding or brain injuries may not show symptoms right away.
Report the accident to the police and file an accident report. The police report will serve as an important piece of evidence in your case and can help establish liability.
If you can, photograph the scene, your injuries, and any vehicle damage. Gather witness contacts and note key details like location, time, and weather.
The sooner you contact a lawyer, the better. Your attorney will begin investigating the accident, gathering evidence, and advising you on the best course of action.
