A blow to the head during a pedestrian collision can cause injuries ranging from mild concussion to permanent cognitive impairment.

A dislocated vertebra or fracture can cause bruising or tearing of the spinal cord, resulting in partial or complete loss of function.

Bone fractures are among the most common pedestrian injuries and often require surgery and extended physical therapy.

Herniated discs, sprains, fractures, and nerve damage are frequent outcomes when a pedestrian is struck by a vehicle.

Road surface contact causes deep cuts and bruising that can result in scarring and require extensive wound care.

Anxiety, depression, and PTSD are real and compensable harms that many accident victims experience long after physical wounds heal.

Internal organ damage, burns, and other injuries that may not be immediately apparent but can have serious long-term consequences.

Texting while driving is the most common form, taking the driver's eyes and attention off the road entirely.

The most serious pedestrian injuries happen in high-speed collisions, where reaction time and stopping distance are both compromised.

Pedestrians who are legally crossing a marked crosswalk or intersection have the right of way under California law.

A driver who fails to signal deprives a pedestrian of the opportunity to react and move out of the way.

Alcohol and drug impairment decrease reaction time and increase the severity of any resulting collision.

Drivers are required to slow down and pay closer attention in rain, fog, and other conditions that reduce visibility.

Residential driveways and parking lots are frequent locations where drivers fail to check for pedestrians before reversing.
