Get emergency evaluation
Call 911 and accept appropriate care. Follow up for head, orthopedic, internal, or neurological symptoms that may not be fully apparent at the scene.
Los Angeles Pedestrian Accident Lawyer
Pedestrian claims often turn on visibility, speed, crosswalk duties, turning movement, lighting, distraction, and the few seconds before impact. Mayberry Law develops scene, video, witness, vehicle, and medical evidence before a quick assumption becomes the claim narrative.
Visibility and Timing Must Be Reconstructed, Not Assumed
California law imposes duties on both drivers and pedestrians, but a pedestrian's conduct does not erase a driver's continuing duty of care. The evidence should show what each person could see and do.

What to Do After a Pedestrian Collision
Emergency care comes first. The next priority is preserving the roadway, visibility, video, vehicle, and witness evidence that can disappear quickly in a busy Los Angeles corridor.
Read California's crosswalk statuteDocument the complete roadway
Photograph the crosswalk, signal heads, signs, lane geometry, lighting, obstructions, parked vehicles, impact area, debris, and the approaches used by the driver and pedestrian.
Find witnesses and video
Collect names and look for traffic, transit, business, residential, dash, rideshare, or doorbell cameras before recordings are overwritten.
Preserve clothing and devices
Keep footwear, clothing, damaged personal items, phones, watches, location history, photographs, and original digital files without altering them.
Report without guessing
Give accurate basic facts, but do not guess about signal timing, speed, visibility, or fault before the roadway and video evidence are reviewed.
A Visibility Dispute Needs More Than a Quick Statement
Phrases such as 'came out of nowhere' are conclusions. A fair analysis tests sightlines, lighting, speed, signal timing, vehicle movement, pedestrian movement, and what a careful road user could have perceived.
Crosswalk status is important, not exclusive
Marked and unmarked crosswalk duties matter, but the full analysis still includes due care, timing, distance, speed, attention, and avoidance opportunities.
Turning movement can hide the critical seconds
Left and right turns, blocked views, mirror angles, pillars, parked vehicles, and competing traffic can affect when the pedestrian became visible.
Digital evidence can resolve attention disputes
Video, phone data, navigation records, onboard vehicle information, and signal records may clarify movement, speed, distraction, and timing.
Severe injuries should not be valued early
A settlement discussion may begin before surgery, rehabilitation, scarring, cognitive symptoms, work effects, or future support needs are understood.
Building the Full Pedestrian Injury Record
A pedestrian has little physical protection. The claim should connect medical evidence to work, mobility, support needs, emotional effects, and changes in independence.
Medical and rehabilitation care
Emergency care, imaging, surgery, specialists, therapy, medication, rehabilitation, and reasonably supported future treatment may be relevant.
Work and earning effects
Missed wages, reduced hours, job changes, lost advancement, and diminished earning capacity require medical and employment support.
Mobility and support needs
Transportation, assistive devices, home help, accessibility changes, and other documented costs may form part of the economic loss.
Pain, trauma, and scarring
Evidence may address pain, emotional distress, disfigurement, sleep disruption, fear, lost activities, and reduced independence.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do drivers have to yield to pedestrians in California crosswalks?+
Vehicle Code §21950 generally requires drivers to yield to pedestrians in marked crosswalks and unmarked crosswalks at intersections and to use due care. The statute also requires pedestrians to use due care. See California Vehicle Code §21950.
What if the driver says the pedestrian appeared suddenly?+
That statement does not decide fault. The analysis should consider distance, speed, sightlines, lighting, obstructions, signal timing, pedestrian movement, and the actions available to both people.
What if the pedestrian may have been partly responsible?+
Potential comparative fault can affect allocation but does not automatically end a claim. Evidence and the duties of both the driver and pedestrian control the analysis.
What deadlines apply?+
Many California personal-injury actions have a general two-year deadline, while public-entity claims can require much earlier action. See the California Courts deadline guide and Government Code §911.2.
