Common Pedestrian Accident Injuries
Pedestrians are the most vulnerable road users. In collisions with vehicles, they often suffer catastrophic injuries such as:
- Traumatic brain injuries
- Head, neck, and spinal cord injuries
- Severe fractures and broken bones
- Road rash and disfigurement
- Amputation injuries
- Internal organ damage
- Long-term disability
We work with medical experts to calculate the true impact of your injuries, ensuring your settlement covers not just current expenses, but also long-term care, rehabilitation, and future financial losses.
Insurance Companies Are Not On Your Side

- Medical bills and hospital expenses
- Rehabilitation and long-term care
- Lost wages and loss of future earnings
- Pain and suffering

We don’t let insurance companies take advantage of victims.
Preventing Pedestrian Accidents in Orange County
While drivers are legally required to yield to pedestrians, accidents continue to happen on high-risk roads and intersections throughout Orange County. Some of the most common causes include:
- Distracted driving (texting while driving)
- Speeding on city streets and near school zones
- Failing to yield at crosswalks or intersections
- Driving under the influence
- Unsafe turns and blind spots
Drivers must take extra care in residential neighborhoods, school zones, and high-traffic pedestrian areas like Downtown Santa Ana. When they fail to do so, our attorneys step in to hold them accountable.
Time is Critical After a Pedestrian Accident
California law generally allows two years to file a personal injury claim, but deadlines may be shorter if a government entity is involved. Evidence can disappear quickly, so contacting a lawyer immediately is the best way to protect your rights.
