Orange County Pedestrian Accident Lawyer
Crosswalk injuries, parking lot incidents, and pedestrians struck by negligent drivers. You were on foot. They had two tons of steel. Gallo Law evens the odds.
Pedestrians Have the Right of Way. Insurers Pretend Otherwise.
Pedestrian accidents produce some of the most severe injuries in personal injury law. A human body has no protection against a vehicle traveling at any speed. Broken bones, traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord damage, and internal organ injuries are common outcomes.
Despite clear right-of-way laws, insurance companies routinely blame pedestrians — claiming they were jaywalking, distracted, or wearing dark clothing. Joseph Gallo fights these tactics with evidence, expert testimony, and aggressive advocacy.
A crosswalk is not a suggestion. It is a legal protection. We enforce it.
