Pedestrian accidents are on the rise in our country. While there were only 61,000 pedestrians injured in crashes and collisions in 2006, according to NHTSA Traffic Safety Facts an estimated 70,000 pedestrians were injured while navigating American roadways in 2015.
Whenever you have been involved in a pedestrian accident, it is critical that you speak to an experienced Encino pedestrian accident lawyer.

Crashes involving pedestrians can occur for a number of reasons, such as:
Your first and primary focus after being involved in a pedestrian accident is your health. Seek medical attention immediately, even if your injuries seem only minor. A slight bump from a moving vehicle, for example, may result in a leg fracture, lead to a knee injury, or cause back pain.
The next step is to contact your local police and to advise them of the pedestrian accident. Law enforcement will take a report of the accident, and in that report, pertinent details of the crash such as the names of witnesses and how the crash occurred will be included.
If you are able, it is useful to gather evidence while on the scene. Take pictures and video of where the crash occurred and ask for the contact information of any witnesses.
Lastly, it is a good idea to speak to an Encino pedestrian accident attorney. Binder Law Group, PLC offers free initial consultations so that you can learn more about your legal rights after a pedestrian collision and if you should proceed with a case.
After a pedestrian crash, you may be able to recover damages from the party or parties who caused the collision such as:

PatrickUnder California law, drivers must yield to pedestrians in crosswalks (Vehicle Code §21950), while pedestrians must yield outside crosswalks and avoid sudden movements (Vehicle Code §21954). California follows pure comparative negligence, meaning fault can be shared, and recovery is reduced accordingly.
California’s two-year statute of limitations applies to personal injury claims from the date of injury, but shorter windows apply to government entities, such as Caltrans, if involved. Missing deadlines bars recovery, so early filing preserves evidence and witness memories. Consult Binder Law Group promptly for case evaluation.
Key items include medical records, witness statements, dashcam or traffic footage, accident reconstruction reports, and testimony on injuries. Photos of roadway hazards, such as poor lighting on Encino streets, bolster negligence claims. Binder Law Group gathers this comprehensively.

Claims fall under parental authority but are settled with court approval until age 18, with funds held in blocked accounts. Children face higher lifelong impacts from brain injuries, increasing the value. California prioritizes minor protections in settlements.
California follows a comparative negligence system, meaning you may still recover compensation if you were partially at fault for the accident. However, the compensation you receive could be reduced based on your percentage of fault. For instance, if you were 20% at fault, you could still recover 80% of the damages. Binder Law Group, PLC, can assist in evaluating the extent of your fault and fight for the compensation you deserve.
