Pedestrian Rights

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.

How We Handle Pedestrian Accident Cases

01

Secure Video Evidence

Traffic cameras, business surveillance, and dashcam footage often capture the moment of impact. We act fast before this evidence is deleted.

02

Establish Right of Way

We use traffic laws, crosswalk markings, signal timing, and witness testimony to prove the driver was at fault.

03

Document Full Impact

Pedestrian injuries often require long-term care. We work with medical experts to project future treatment costs and lost earning capacity.

Pedestrian Accident FAQ

What if I was not in a crosswalk when I was hit?
You may still have a valid claim. California law requires drivers to exercise due care to avoid hitting pedestrians regardless of where they are. Comparative negligence may apply, but it does not necessarily bar your claim.
What compensation can I recover as a pedestrian?
You can recover medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, emotional distress, and in severe cases, future care costs and loss of earning capacity.
The driver who hit me does not have insurance. What now?
If you have auto insurance, your uninsured motorist coverage may apply even though you were on foot. Joseph will review all available policies to maximize your recovery.
