How Our Los Angeles Pedestrian Accident Lawyers Can Help After a Crash Injury
An injury lawyer in Los Angeles can help you navigate the pedestrian accident claims process and recover financial compensation or sue the at-fault driver and represent you at trial. This process begins as soon as your pedestrian accident occurs. The initial minutes and hours should focus on your injuries and well-being.
Our car accident attorneys are familiar with the trauma centers in the area and frequently meet with our clients as they undergo treatment or rehabilitation there. We can also meet you in other locations or virtually. If you have serious or catastrophic injuries, you likely went to one of the following facilities after your crash:

- Children’s Hospital Los Angeles

- Harbor-UCLA Medical Center
- Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center
At the hospital, you may have required diagnostic testing, evaluation, stabilization, and treatment. Some pedestrian accident victims spend days or weeks in the hospital. Some move on to rehabilitation facilities for additional care. The bills begin to pile up almost immediately.
Your legal case should move up your priority list as soon as you are stable and your injuries begin to heal. A key step in this process is to connect with KJT Law Group for a free case review with a pedestrian accident lawyer in Los Angeles. Our pedestrian collision attorneys can:

Our Attorneys See Many Pedestrian Accidents And Injuries In Los Angeles
Our pedestrian accident attorneys in Los Angeles represent victims injured by careless or reckless drivers. When a vehicle hits a person crossing the road, walking across a parking lot, or walking along the street, the driver is often at fault. All drivers have a responsibility to prevent accidents when possible and must follow all applicable traffic rules—including those in place to protect pedestrians.
Los Angeles is a busy, car-oriented city. Pedestrians in Los Angeles must cross paths with drivers to get to work, school, shops, or other businesses. Some areas are more dangerous than others, including the five most dangerous intersections in LA, according to reporting by KTLA:
- S. Vermont Ave and W. Florence Ave
- W. Manchester Ave. and S. Normandie Ave.
- Victory Blvd. and Lindley Ave.
- W. Manchester Ave. and S. Vermont Ave.
- E. Manchester Ave. and Avalon Blvd.
Gridlock, school traffic, and congested urban areas increase the risk of accidents.
With its busy morning and evening commutes, the risk is even higher. Drivers rushing to get to work or get their children to school may speed, drive while distracted, or take careless risks. All these are factors that our attorneys see in many Los Angeles pedestrian accident cases.

Let Our Personal Injury Lawyers Determine the Cause of Your Pedestrian Accident Injuries in Los Angeles
Most pedestrian accidents, like other traffic collisions, occur because of negligence. One party acts carelessly or recklessly and causes a crash. When collisions occur between a vehicle and a person on foot, the pedestrian usually suffers the worst injuries. This is why many traffic laws seem to favor pedestrians. If a driver fails to follow a traffic law, nearby pedestrians might be in danger.
Some common times when negligent drivers hit pedestrians include:
- Making turns when a pedestrian is in a crosswalk
- A pedestrian crosses the street between intersections, even in a marked crosswalk
- In parking lots where drivers and pedestrians share close quarters
- On surface streets, especially in neighborhoods, when drivers may pass without enough room
Carelessness is one of the most common causes of pedestrian accidents; it can take the form of:
- Drunk driving
- Drugged driving
- Reckless driving
- Speeding
- Distracted driving
One of the most common circumstances when our clients suffer pedestrian accident injuries in Los Angeles is when a driver fails to yield the right of way when turning. When drivers turn right or left at an intersection, they must first check for pedestrians. They have a duty of care to yield to any pedestrian crossing the road before they make their turn.
When a driver breaches this duty, it often causes a collision. The pedestrian suffers serious physical and emotional trauma, leading to significant financial losses. Our lawyers investigate what happened, document the failure to yield, and negotiate or litigate to recover fair compensation for our client.
