Pedestrian Accident Lawyer Pedestrians hit by cars.
Crossing the street, in a parking lot or walking on the sidewalk: if you were hit, you have the right to get paid. Pedestrians get badly hurt and deserve someone to fight for them.
In California, drivers have to yield to pedestrians in the crosswalk, whether it has painted lines or not.

Questions people ask
I crossed outside the crosswalk. Do I have a case?
You may. The driver still has to drive carefully, and in California you can't be ticketed for crossing mid-block unless there was immediate danger.
The driver took off. What do I do?
Report it to the police right away. Your own auto insurance (UM coverage) often covers you even though you were walking.
