California Pedestrian Accident Attorney

Pedestrian accidents are any accident that occurs between a vehicle and someone walking on or near the road. These accidents are not limited to crosswalks or intersections, but can happen anywhere. Pedestrian accidents commonly occur to individuals who are:

  • Crossing the street
  • Jogging, skating, or rollerblading
  • Pushing a stroller
  • Helping a child or elderly person cross the street
  • Sitting on a bench or sidewalk
  • Sitting at a sidewalk table or cafe
  • Standing on a sidewalk or at a bus stop

If you have been injured in an accident while engaging in any of these activities, contact El Aliado. You may be entitled to compensation if the person who hit you was negligent or reckless.
