There are many different scenarios in which you might be involved in a pedestrian accident while in San Gabriel. Below you will find some of the most frequently asked questions by our clients regarding pedestrian accidents.

Pedestrians are individuals walking alongside a road or crossing it. Pedestrians include people that are walking and running, along with individuals that utilize scooters, wheelchairs, and skateboards. Besides using an ordinary bicycle, almost everyone outside next to a road or crossing it is considered to be a pedestrian.

There are three main factors that must be proven by a victim in California to establish liability in a pedestrian accident and to recover financial damages.

(1) The driver of the automobile had a duty of care to the pedestrian;

(2) By recklessness or negligence, the vehicle’s conductor failed to exercise the expected level of care towards the pedestrian, and;

(3) The failure to exercise the required care towards the pedestrian resulted in the victim’s injury or harm.

Negligent driving occurs when a driver fails to exercise an expected level of care to those around them. This can include driving distracted (eating, talking on the phone, texting, etc.), driving under the influence of a controlled substance (alcohol, prescription drugs, or other drugs), speeding, or failure to yield at a traffic sign or light. Our attorneys at Walch Law can help you determine whether or not you were hit by a negligent driver, so call us TODAY!

Injuries are common following a pedestrian accident because pedestrians do not have the protection that a car provides, such as airbags and seatbelts. From scratches and bruises to broken bones and brain injuries, pedestrian injuries from an accident can vary in their severity. In extreme cases, pedestrian accidents can result in a wrongful death suit due to the death of the victim.
