Choosing the Right San Diego Pedestrian Crosswalk Accident Lawyer For Your Case
Each year, hundreds of injuries are caused to pedestrians in accidents in San Diego that are caused by negligent car drivers. Many of those pedestrian accidents are in crosswalks in which the pedestrian was doing nothing wrong while others occur in the roadway and on sidewalks.
The vast majority of pedestrian accidents in San Diego are caused by negligence or by careless or reckless drivers who simply lose concentration or whose attention is distracted. Other pedestrian accidents are caused by negligent drivers who never think to look for a pedestrian on the road or in a crosswalk.

Negligent Crosswalk Car Accidents, Negligent Injury To Pedestrians, And Much More
With over 35 years of experience as a personal injury attorney, Sebastian Gibson represents victims involved in pedestrian auto accidents, pedestrian truck accidents, pedestrian motorcycle accidents, pedestrian bicycle accidents, and pedestrian accidents involving every other type of car or motor vehicle accident and personal injury that results from the negligence of a driver. Many of these accidents in San Diego involve wrongful deaths and serious spinal cord injuries and traumatic brain injuries as well as injuries to children walking alongside or in the arms of other family member pedestrians.
Our personal injury lawyers in San Diego and throughout California have handled pedestrian accident cases involving distracted and inattentive drivers, crosswalk accidents caused by drowsy driving, pedestrian accidents caused by negligent or careless driving, drunk driving pedestrian accidents, reckless driving pedestrian accidents, hit and run pedestrian accidents, intersection pedestrian accidents, crosswalk pedestrian accidents which result from failures to stop at red lights and stop signs, pedestrian and crosswalk accidents caused by speeding, pedestrian accidents caused by distracted drivers and crosswalk accidents caused by drivers using their cell phones to text or tweet at the time of their accident.
Today it is common for pedestrians to be using their smart phones to text, tweet, e-mail or to check Facebook or other social media websites or to be talking on their cell phone as they walk for exercise, run an errand, shop or walk to work. The mere fact, however, that a pedestrian is using a smart phone or cell phone at the time of their pedestrian accident, is not sufficient to shift the blame to the pedestrian for their accident. More evidence is required in San Diego to prove any degree of comparative negligence on the part of the pedestrian in order to even reduce the value of a pedestrian accident victim’s claim.
How Pedestrian Accidents And Crosswalk Accidents Occur In San Diego
Negligent drivers are young and old, people going to work or school, people shopping, car pool drivers, drivers of autos, SUV’s, pickup and commercial trucks, motorcycles, mopeds and scooters. The vast majority of negligent pedestrian accidents and crosswalk accidents are caused by ordinary people, who for one reason or another, have a momentary lapse of judgment and negligently cause a crosswalk accident, causing injuries to pedestrians on the roads, at a marked crosswalk and sometimes on the sidewalks as well. In holiday periods, we see an increase in these accidents when so much is on the minds of these negligent drivers.
The California Vehicle Code statutes are meant to prevent pedestrian roadway accidents as well as crosswalk and sidewalk pedestrian accidents, but drivers act negligently when they become distracted when they play with the radio, their smart phone, text or tweet, send e-mails, talk to passengers, sing, groom themselves, bend down to pick up something that’s fallen off a seat, resolve a dispute between children or tend to an infant. When they perform these or any number of other tasks while driving, they become inattentive to the road, to pedestrians and to crosswalks, and serious if not catastrophic injuries are caused to the pedestrians in the road.
The victims of pedestrian and crosswalk accidents suffer broken bones, internal injuries, back and neck injuries, soft tissue injuries, scars and on occasion, catastrophic injuries, paraplegia, quadriplegia and wrongful deaths.

See The Doctor, Get Better, We’ll Take It From There
The most important thing for you to do after being the victim of a crosswalk accident or a pedestrian accident on the road or on a sidewalk caused by a negligent or careless driver or one where the other driver was inattentive or distracted, is to get the best possible treatment you need for your injuries.
Depending on the level, location and speed of impact to your body and whether you were thrown into the air, hit a second part of the car such as the windshield after being lifted into the air or another car after impact with the ground, you’re almost certainly in a great deal of pain, may still be off work, and may be worried how you’re going to pay for medical treatment if you have no health insurance.
We can safely guide you through your pedestrian accident, deal with the insurance adjusters and refer you to doctors who will wait to be paid out of any settlement for the treatment they provide to you.
Don’t Let An Insurance Company Convince You That Your Case Isn’t Worth Much
We’ll prevent you from falling into traps set by insurance company adjusters who may either be ignoring you or calling you constantly, trying to trip you up by taking a recorded statement to either pin the blame on you for not avoiding the car that hit you or to get you to say you’re fine before you can even identify all your aches and pains.
Despite their warm and friendly image on TV, an insurance company will almost always claim you over-treated, had pre-existing medical conditions, and will search for anything they can find to use against you. The more serious your injuries, the more likely they are to claim you were negligent either in failing to avoid your pedestrian accident, or that your injuries were pre-existing.
Over the years, our lawyers have obtained considerable amounts in settlement in numerous cases where pedestrians were injured by the negligence of others and after insurance companies tried to pay them little or nothing for their serious injuries by claiming the pedestrians were at fault, weren’t watching or should have been able to avoid being hit, and we can help you.
