Pedestrian Rights in California
California law requires drivers to yield to pedestrians crossing in a marked crosswalk or an unmarked crosswalk at an intersection. Drivers must also watch for people walking near schools, parking lots, and driveways.
Even if a pedestrian crossed outside a crosswalk, they may still recover compensation. California uses comparative fault, which means compensation is reduced, not eliminated, by any share of fault assigned to the pedestrian.
Common Causes of Pedestrian Accidents
- Drivers failing to yield at crosswalks or when turning.
- Distracted driving and phone use.
- Speeding and running red lights.
- Drivers backing out of driveways and parking spaces.
- Impaired driving.
What to Do After Being Hit
- Call 911 and get medical care.
- Get the driver’s name, insurance, and plate number.
- Photograph the scene, the crosswalk, traffic signals, and your injuries.
- Ask nearby businesses if cameras recorded the crash.
- Collect witness contact information.
- Talk to a lawyer before speaking with the driver’s insurer.
Compensation and Time Limits
You may recover medical costs, lost wages, pain and suffering, and future care. Your own auto insurance may also help in some cases. Most pedestrian injury lawsuits must be filed within two years.
