Pedestrian Accidents

Walking is a great way to get around. It is healthy, free, environmentally friendly, and accessible for the entire year here in our beautiful Southern California weather.

However, Los Angeles is very much a motor-city, so pedestrian amenities may not be great and drivers are not always vigilant about checking for pedestrians as they navigate the city from their cars. Pedestrian accidents can occur and may result in injury. In the state of California, fault in these incidents depends on the specific facts, and insurance determinations may vary based on the circumstances of the accident.
