Pedestrian Accidents in Los Angeles

Pedestrian crashes in Los Angeles continue to be a growing concern, especially in high-traffic areas like Whittier Blvd. With many neighborhoods combining foot traffic, cars, and public transit, pedestrian safety remains a major issue. Every year, hundreds of pedestrians in Los Angeles County are injured or killed in traffic-related incidents. Hit-and-run crashes are particularly devastating because they often leave victims without immediate help and with limited paths to justice.

In many of these cases, the victim has the right to pursue compensation. Even if the at-fault driver is not immediately identified, uninsured motorist coverage or compensation through state victim assistance programs may be available. A qualified pedestrian accident lawyer from Khorshidi Law Firm can help explore these options. They can also assist in gathering evidence, locating witnesses, and ensuring victims are treated fairly by insurance companies.

Drivers in Los Angeles have a legal duty to stop after a crash, especially when someone is injured. When they fail to do so, they not only break the law but also worsen the impact of the incident. Victims may suffer from long-term injuries, emotional trauma, and mounting medical bills.

Pedestrians are some of the most vulnerable road users. Without the protection of a vehicle, they are at high risk of head injuries, broken bones, and spinal trauma. The recovery process can be long and painful, often requiring extended time off work. Legal support from a personal injury attorney is crucial during this time to make sure victims receive the care and compensation they deserve.
