Los Angeles & Southern California Pedestrian Accident Attorneys

If you have been involved in a pedestrian accident in Los Angeles or Southern California, the laws applicable to your claim will be different than those of a typical car accident claim. As a pedestrian, if you are struck by a car or other moving vehicle, you don’t have the same last second evasive options that you may otherwise have if you were a driver.

The law requires everyone to act responsibility, but a driver has a high duty of care to avoid pedestrians. The rules of the road are generally clear when it comes to pedestrian accidents.

Unfortunately, accidents do occur, and collisions between moving vehicles and pedestrians are all too common in Los Angeles. When a driver strikes a pedestrian, the aftermath injury can severe and sometimes even fatal. Our pedestrian accident lawyers have handled such cases as car v. pedestrian, bike v. pedestrian and even ATV vs. pedestrian, all to highly successful conclusion. In some instances, the at fault party may not have enough insurance. Our experienced attorneys are trained to evaluate and secure all sources of insurance that may be available to cover the losses after a pedestrian injury accident.

If you have been involved in a pedestrian injury accident, call us. We will provide you with a free case evaluation to with an experienced pedestrian accident attorney.

+ Driver failure to obey traffic or stop signs

+ Driver fails to observe surroundings

+ Driving operates a car under the influence

    You can go with the catchy jingles that you see on TV as I did, and become just another client. Or you can go with a firm that treats you like family, and sets the bar high by fighting for the maximum payment from your injuries. Very impressed and glad I made the switch! Thanks for everything I truly appreciate you.

    I worked with Ashley LaFontaine and she was absolutely wonderful in getting me the care I needed. When things with the doctors got hung up she helped get things moving. She was super communicative and kept me in the loop through every step of the process. Set expectations from beginning to end very well and exceed my expectations!

    I met Oliver Pelly by happenstance and after I grilled him a couple of times, I decided to hire his firm. After being my initial POC, I began working with Blake Woodhall. Both were standup guys, and Blake kept me in-the-loop the entire time. He was patient when explaining the process and going over details and understanding of my situation and concerns. Everything concluded better than I could have expected, and Blake acted as an excellent buffer to keep everything at bay. I would highly recommend Blake, Oliver and their firm for any auto accident cases.

    Going through my accident was a very difficult and emotional experience. The process of choosing the right law firm can be overwhelming. Choosing Phillips and Pelly was the best decision I could have made. They are extremely knowledgeable and I trusted Oliver’s expertise throughout the entire process. He was very responsive. Anytime I would have a question, including nights and weekends, Oliver would get back to me right away. I would recommend Phillips and Pelly for anyone going through a similar situation. They really are the best.

    I have enjoyed my experience with this law firm. Alecia Gordon represented me with my case and throughout this entire ordeal has been extremely supportive and understanding of my own lack of experience and knowledge of legal matters. She is not only kind and considerate but very intelligent and professional. The paralegal team also deserve kudos as they were always there to assist and assure me of progress and necessary document completions. All in all, I would highly recommend this firm for personal injury claims.

    Matt was very helpful in settling a case for my son that was a passenger in an automobile that crashed into a home. My son suffered cracked ribs, a concussion amongst other injuries. Matt was helpful explaining everything to us as this was a 1st dealing with anything like this for our family. It took time and patience as the other party was reluctant to settle. In the end my son had his ambulance, medical bills and a small amount of recovered monies all paid out. Great man, lawyer and law firm .Highly reccomended

We know the neighborhoods, the legal landscape and, most of all, we highly value and appreciate representing people in our region.

Does it cost anything to start my pedestrian accident claim?

No. Once we accept your care, we will handle it with a no fee until we win guarantee. This means you don’t pay a dime out of pocket for our time and our fee’s are a structured percentage payable from a settlement or verdict when YOUR case resolves.

“I was in a pedestrian accident – should I wait to call a lawyer?”

Every day that goes by is likely a day that your case is potentially diminished or depleted in value. Why? Evidence tends to disappear with time. For example security or traffic footage gets looped over. Witness memories fade and/or witness move. Vehicles involved may be sold so vehicle data boxes become unavailable. Statutes and filing deadlines needs to be observed. Call our office today and speak with a pedestrian accident attorney. We can evaluate your situation and give you a proposed game plan.

If you then elect to hire us, we can make it very simple for you. In many cases, you need not even come to one of our Southern California offices. If you’d like, we can start your case without you leaving home.

The call is free. The Case Evaluation is free.
