Knowledgeable Pedestrian Accident Lawyers Protecting Injured Victims in Los Angeles, California

California is a state built for movement—on foot, by bicycle, by car, and on public transportation. In Los Angeles and other cities, walking is not just common—it is a preferred way to commute, exercise, or enjoy the environment. However, for all its walkability, California is also one of the most dangerous states for pedestrians.

Each year, tens of thousands of pedestrians across the United States are injured or killed in accidents involving motor vehicles. In California, pedestrian accidents occur at an alarming rate, and they often result in catastrophic injuries or fatalities. At Zarabi Law, we believe every pedestrian has the right to feel safe while crossing the street or walking along a sidewalk. When a driver's careless or reckless actions cause harm, we fight to hold them accountable and help victims recover full and fair compensation.

If you or someone you love has been hurt in a pedestrian accident, it is important to understand your legal rights and the steps you can take to protect your future. Our personal injury lawyers are here to help you navigate the legal process and obtain the compensation you are entitled to.

Common Causes of Pedestrian Accidents

While pedestrian accidents can occur under a variety of circumstances, many are caused by negligent drivers. At Zarabi Law, we have represented clients injured by:

• Speeding: The faster a vehicle travels, the less time a driver has to react, and the more severe the injuries that may occur in pedestrian accidents.
• Distracted Driving: Drivers who do not fully focus on the road because they are paying attention to their phones or engaging in other activities can easily miss a pedestrian crossing the street.
• Driving Under the Influence: Alcohol and drug use can impair a driver's ability to see clearly, judge distances, and respond quickly to pedestrians.
• Failure to Yield: Drivers frequently fail to yield to pedestrians in crosswalks, especially when turning at intersections.
• Running Red Lights: Ignoring traffic signals places pedestrians in direct danger, especially in marked crosswalks.
• Illegal Passing or Overtaking: Passing vehicles that are stopped at crosswalks can result in a pedestrian being struck by a car.
• Backing up Without Checking Surroundings: Many pedestrian injuries occur in parking lots when drivers fail to check for people behind them.

Pedestrian accidents also occur at night, in poorly lit areas, or where pedestrian signals are broken or confusing. In some cases, multiple parties may share responsibility, such as municipal agencies that failed to maintain safe infrastructure.

Common Injuries in Pedestrian Accidents

Unlike occupants of motor vehicles, pedestrians have no protection in a collision. The force of impact can throw a person onto the hood of the car, into the windshield, or onto the pavement, resulting in serious trauma. Some of the most common injuries sustained in pedestrian accidents include:

• Brain Injuries: From concussions to severe brain trauma, head injuries are common when a vehicle strikes a person, and these injuries often have lasting effects.
• Spine Injuries: Damage to the spine when a car strikes a pedestrian can lead to paralysis, mobility issues, or chronic pain, which may require lifelong care.
• Broken Bones: Arms, legs, ribs, pelvis, and facial bones may be broken in high-impact collisions between vehicles and pedestrians.
• Internal Bleeding and Organ Damage: These life-threatening injuries may require emergency medical attention, and they can lead to complications that could put an injury victim's life at risk.
• Soft Tissue Injuries: Damage to muscles, tendons, and ligaments can cause chronic pain and limit mobility.
• Lacerations and Disfigurement: Deep cuts, abrasions, and scarring are common when a pedestrian is hit by a vehicle, thrown to the ground, run over, or dragged by a car.
• Fatal Injuries: Tragically, many pedestrian accidents result in wrongful death, leaving families to grieve an unexpected loss.
