Strong Legal Advocacy for Injured Pedestrians in California

Pedestrians Struck by Vehicles Deserve Full Compensation

Pedestrian accidents often result in catastrophic injuries. California law protects pedestrians when drivers fail to yield, speed through intersections, or drive while distracted. If you were hit while walking, you may be entitled to compensation for your injuries, medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering.

At Nozar Law, we help clients take immediate legal action after pedestrian crashes involving:

  • Failure to yield at crosswalks
  • Speeding or reckless driving
  • Drunk or impaired drivers
  • Distracted or cell phone use behind the wheel
  • Backing up without checking surroundings
  • Poor visibility or road design

You do not have to manage this process on your own. We will handle every legal aspect while you focus on your recovery.

What We Must Prove in a California Pedestrian Accident Claim

California follows a fault-based system and uses comparative negligence rules. To succeed in your claim, we must show that the driver owed you a duty of care, failed to act reasonably, and caused your injuries. You may still recover compensation even if you were partially at fault.

We gather and preserve critical evidence, including:

  • Police reports and traffic citations
  • Video surveillance or dash cam footage
  • Eyewitness statements
  • Cell phone and driving records
  • Medical documentation and expert opinions

If your accident involved a public entity like a city bus or poorly maintained sidewalk, there are strict deadlines and procedures for filing a claim. We ensure these requirements are met to protect your right to recovery.

  • Lost wages and loss of earning capacity
  • Pain and suffering

I had a very good experience with this Law firm. I started off with a different Law Firm, and things did not seem to be going anywhere, and Mr. Nozar Took over my case, and made it happen. I’m happy with the results. Everything was handled very professionally and I was able to reach him anytime I needed him.
