A crosswalk should be the safest place on the street. But drivers roll through stop signs, glance at their phones, or just don’t look. One second you’re crossing the street.

We investigate fast, we build your case hard, and we fight for every dollar you’re owed. Your first call costs nothing. Pick up the phone today.
Pedestrians never stand a chance in a fight with a car. That’s not an opinion; that’s physics. When a driver hits someone on foot, the injuries are often severe, and the legal fallout gets messy fast. Insurance adjusters love to twist the story. They’ll claim you jaywalked. They’ll claim you weren’t paying attention. They’ll claim anything that keeps their check smaller. We’ve represented pedestrians hit in crosswalks, parking lots, sidewalks, and everywhere in between. We know their playbook, and we know how to beat it.
Here’s the uncomfortable truth: insurance companies expect pedestrians to fight alone, get tired, and settle cheap. So they slow-walk your claim. They question your injuries. They dig for any reason to blame you instead of their driver. And in California, they’ll try to use comparative negligence against you, arguing you share some of the fault so they can pay less. But that rule works both ways. Even if you were partly at fault, you can still recover compensation. Our attorneys know exactly how to apply this rule in your favor, not theirs.
Most pedestrian accidents start with a driver who wasn’t paying attention. Our job is proving exactly what that driver did wrong.
Getting hit by a car is disorienting. Your adrenaline spikes, your thoughts scatter, and your instincts might tell you just to get up and walk it off. Don’t. Slow down and protect yourself, both physically and legally.
Pedestrian accident cases move fast, and so do we. From your first phone call to your final settlement check, we’re in your corner the whole way.
We track down witnesses, pull traffic camera footage, review police reports, and build a case that’s hard to argue with.
We push insurance companies to pay what your case is actually worth. If they lowball you, we take it to court.
We start digging the moment you call. That means pulling the police report, tracking down eyewitnesses, and pulling any nearby traffic or business camera footage before it disappears. We bring in accident reconstruction experts when needed to prove exactly how the crash unfolded. We calculate every dollar you’re owed, medical bills, lost income, pain, and long-term care if you need it. Then we take that number straight to the insurance company and demand they pay it. If they refuse to be reasonable, we prepare for trial and argue your case in front of a judge.
Jaywalking doesn’t automatically kill your case. California’s comparative negligence rule means you can still recover compensation even if you share some fault. Your payout gets adjusted, not erased. Let us walk you through what your case is actually worth.
California generally gives you two years from the date of the accident to file a personal injury lawsuit. That sounds like plenty of time, but evidence disappears fast. The sooner you call, the stronger your case.
You may still have options through your own uninsured motorist coverage or other avenues. We’ll dig into every possible source of compensation so you’re not left covering the bill yourself.
Most pedestrian accident cases settle before trial. But if the insurance company won’t offer a fair deal, we’re ready to take it in front of a jury.
Getting hit by a car doesn’t just hurt your body. It hurts your bank account, your peace of mind, and your patience for dealing with insurance companies who’d rather stall than pay. You don’t have to handle this alone. BH Injury Lawyer has the experience, the resources, and the grit to fight for what you’re owed.
