Common Causes of Pedestrian Accidents in Los Angeles

Pedestrian accidents almost always result in catastrophic injuries because walkers have no protection against the impact of a vehicle. Victims may suffer broken bones, spinal cord damage, internal bleeding, or traumatic brain injuries. Recovery is often long and costly, with many people unable to return to work or live the life they once enjoyed. Our Los Angeles pedestrian accident attorneys provide compassionate, experienced legal support to help victims navigate this difficult process while we pursue justice on their behalf.


Pedestrian crashes frequently occur because drivers fail to follow traffic laws or exercise reasonable care. Distracted driving is one of the leading causes, with motorists texting, eating, or adjusting GPS instead of focusing on the road. Speeding and reckless driving increase both the likelihood of collisions and the severity of injuries. Other common causes include drivers failing to yield at crosswalks, running red lights, making illegal turns, or driving under the influence. In many cases, poor visibility due to inadequate street lighting or obstructed signage also contributes to pedestrian accidents.


California law requires drivers to yield to pedestrians in marked crosswalks and at intersections. When they fail to do so, they are liable for the injuries that result. At Kashani Law, we investigate every case thoroughly, reviewing police reports, traffic camera footage, and witness testimony to prove negligence. We also consult with accident reconstruction experts to demonstrate how a driver’s reckless actions caused the crash. By presenting strong evidence, we hold drivers and their insurance companies accountable for the harm they cause.


Injuries and Long-Term Impact of Pedestrian Accidents


The injuries sustained in pedestrian accidents are often life-altering. Traumatic brain injuries can impair memory, speech, and mobility. Spinal cord injuries may result in partial or total paralysis. Even less severe injuries, such as broken bones or torn ligaments, can lead to months of recovery and permanent physical limitations. Many victims also experience lasting psychological trauma, including depression, anxiety, and fear of walking near traffic again. Our firm ensures that claims account for not only immediate medical costs but also the long-term physical, emotional, and financial impact of these devastating accidents.

Holding Negligent Drivers Responsible


Steps to Take After a Pedestrian Accident

After a pedestrian accident, taking the right steps can protect both your health and your legal rights. Always call 911 and request medical attention, even if your injuries seem minor, since many conditions worsen over time. Gather evidence at the scene if possible, including photos of the vehicle, roadway, and your injuries. Collect the driver’s information and any witness statements. Do not speak to insurance adjusters before consulting an attorney, as they may try to minimize your claim. Contacting Kashani Law immediately ensures that evidence is preserved and your case is built on a strong foundation.


Victims of pedestrian accidents in California may be entitled to recover substantial compensation. This can include medical expenses, lost income, reduced earning potential, rehabilitation costs, and pain and suffering. In cases involving permanent disability, victims may also receive damages for home modifications, mobility aids, and loss of enjoyment of life. For families who have lost a loved one in a pedestrian accident, wrongful death damages may provide financial relief for funeral costs and loss of companionship. Kashani Law works tirelessly to maximize recovery for every client we represent.
