How we handle it
What we do in the first ten days.
Pedestrian and cyclist cases involve severe injuries and drivers who blame the person they hit. We use traffic camera footage, crosswalk timing data, and vehicle damage patterns to prove what happened, and we pursue hit-and-run compensation through your own uninsured motorist coverage when the driver flees.
Hit and run
We work with police and canvass for cameras. If the driver is never found, your UM policy may still pay.
Right of way
The California Vehicle Code gives pedestrians and cyclists specific protections. We know them and use them.
Dangerous roads
Poorly designed intersections can make the City or Caltrans liable. Government claims must be filed within six months.
Catastrophic injuries
Head and spinal injuries are common. We plan for lifetime care in every demand.
Value
What decides what your case is worth.
We give you an honest range after reviewing your file. These are the factors that move it.
- Injury severity
- Crosswalk and signal status
- Camera and witness evidence
- Whether a government entity shares fault
- Uninsured motorist coverage for hit-and-run

Questions
Pedestrian & Bicycle Accidents questions.
I was jaywalking. Do I still have a case?
Often yes. Drivers still owe a duty of care, and comparative fault only reduces your recovery, it does not eliminate it.
The driver fled. Is there any way to get compensation?
Yes, if you or a household member has uninsured motorist coverage. We also pursue the driver if they are later identified.
