Pedestrian Accidents

A pedestrian accident is one of the most devastating types of collisions.
When a car, truck, or bus hits a person — even at low speeds — the results are often catastrophic. Broken bones, spinal injuries, and traumatic brain injuries can change lives forever. The physical and emotional pain can be overwhelming.

If you or a loved one has been struck by a vehicle, you deserve justice, compassion, and someone who will fight to rebuild your life.

That’s where I come in.

I don’t just handle cases — I help people rebuild.

I’ve recovered millions of dollars for victims of pedestrian and motor vehicle accidents throughout California — including some of the largest verdicts and settlements in the state.

But what sets me apart isn’t just the results — it’s how I get them.
I take on a limited number of cases so I can give each client my full attention. I treat every person I represent as if they were my own family.

Because to me, this isn’t about running a law firm.
It’s about helping people heal and move forward.

Why pedestrian accidents happen

Pedestrian accidents often occur because of driver negligence. The most common causes include:

Distracted driving (texting, phone use, GPS)
Speeding or running red lights
Failure to yield in crosswalks
Driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol
Poor visibility, unsafe intersections, or lack of signage
Delivery vehicles or rideshare drivers in a rush

Whatever the cause, the law is clear: pedestrians have rights — and drivers must be held accountable when they violate them.

What you may be entitled to recover

Victims of pedestrian accidents can recover compensation for:

Medical expenses and future care
Lost wages and loss of earning potential
Pain and suffering
Emotional distress and mental anguish
Long-term disability or disfigurement
Wrongful death for surviving family members

I will fight to ensure you receive the maximum compensation the law allows — not what the insurance company wants to offer.

How I handle pedestrian accident cases

From the moment you call, my team gets to work immediately:

Investigating the scene and securing surveillance or dashcam footage
Interviewing witnesses and working with accident reconstruction experts
Gathering medical records and documentation to build a powerful case
Negotiating directly with insurance companies — and taking them to trial if they refuse to pay what’s fair

I never let insurers minimize your pain or delay your recovery.

Trusted by the people who protect and serve

Over the years, I’ve represented police officers, firefighters, doctors, teachers, and even other lawyers who trusted me when their own lives were turned upside down. They know I care deeply and fight relentlessly — and they know I win.

No fees unless we win

You pay no fees unless I recover money for you.
The consultation is free, confidential, and focused entirely on your recovery — physically, emotionally, and financially.

If you or someone you love has been injured in a pedestrian accident, contact me today.
Let me help you get the justice you deserve — and the peace of mind you need to move forward.
