Unfortunately, pedestrian injuries are all too common in busy California cities like Los Angeles, Riverside, and Burbank. Some of the top causes include:

• Distracted driving (texting, eating, GPS use)
• Speeding or reckless driving
• Drivers failing to yield at crosswalks
• Poor visibility at night or in bad weather
• Impaired driving (alcohol or drugs)
• Improper turns at intersections
• Scooter and bike collisions on sidewalks

Pedestrians have the right of way in most crosswalks, but that doesn’t always protect them from careless drivers. If you or a loved one was hit, even partially in a crosswalk or shoulder area, you may be entitled to significant compensation—especially if serious injuries occurred.
