Let’s talk about securing fair compensation for you and your injuries.
A pedestrian hit by a vehicle doesn’t have the protection a driver does. When someone is struck by a car or SUV, even at low speed, the injuries can be serious.
Common injuries include:
A pedestrian hit by a vehicle lacks the protection a driver has. Even at low speeds, being struck by a car or SUV can lead to serious, and sometimes life-altering, injuries. Understanding the full scope of potential harm is key to pursuing fair compensation.
A blow to the head, even without visible wounds, can result in a traumatic brain injury. These injuries may cause cognitive impairments, memory loss, or long-term neurological issues.
Injury to the spinal cord can lead to partial or complete paralysis. Recovery often involves extensive rehabilitation and lifelong medical care.
Arms, legs, ribs, and the pelvis are particularly vulnerable in pedestrian collisions. Broken bones can take months to heal and may require surgery or physical therapy.
Not all injuries are visible. Internal bleeding can be life-threatening and often requires immediate emergency intervention.
In severe cases, the trauma may be so extensive that a limb cannot be saved. Surgical amputation leads to permanent disability and significant lifestyle adjustments.
Open wounds and abrasions from impact or sliding on pavement can lead to infections, scarring, and the need for skin grafts or reconstructive surgery.
The emotional impact of a pedestrian accident is often underestimated. Victims may suffer from anxiety, depression, or post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), requiring mental health treatment alongside physical recovery.
These injuries often require emergency care, long-term rehab, or even permanent medical support. That’s why compensation needs to match the full scope of damage.

Like the rest of California, Fremont follows statewide traffic and pedestrian laws, but how they’re enforced can affect your claim.
Here’s what matters:
Under California Vehicle Code Section 21950, pedestrians have the right-of-way at both marked and unmarked crosswalks at intersections. Drivers are required to yield, and failure to do so can be a strong factor in a pedestrian’s favor in an accident claim.
With the passage of the “Freedom to Walk Act” in 2023, pedestrians are now allowed to cross streets outside of crosswalks—provided there’s no immediate danger. However, entering traffic unsafely remains illegal and could impact your ability to recover damages.
Pedestrians must use sidewalks when they are available. Walking on the roadway when a sidewalk is present could be considered negligent behavior and may reduce compensation under comparative fault rules.
Crossing against traffic signals, even when the road appears clear, may still negatively impact a claim. Pedestrians are legally required to obey crosswalk lights, and ignoring them can contribute to shared fault.
California follows a comparative negligence system, meaning that even if you are partially at fault for an accident, you may still recover damages. However, your compensation will be reduced in proportion to your percentage of fault.
Navigating these laws on your own is difficult. Contact Fremont pedestrian accident lawyers at Thompson Law for a FREE CONSULTATION to discuss your rights.
Time matters after a pedestrian accident in Fremont. California law generally gives you two years from the date of the injury to file a personal injury lawsuit.
However, shorter deadlines apply in some cases:
Missing these deadlines could mean you lose your right to compensation, no matter how strong your case is.
Don’t wait until it’s too late. Reach out now for a FREE CONSULTATION with Fremont pedestrian accident lawyers at Thompson Law and protect your timeline.

That depends on your medical costs, lost wages, future care needs, and how the injury affects your life. Cases involving permanent disability or traumatic brain injury tend to have higher values. Speak with us for a clearer picture.
Some cases settle in a few months. Others, especially those involving serious injuries or disputed liability, may take over a year. We keep you informed the entire way.
California follows a comparative negligence system. That means you can still recover compensation even if you were partially at fault—your settlement just gets reduced by your percentage of responsibility.
If you were the victim of a hit-and-run, you may still be able to recover compensation through your own uninsured motorist coverage or other legal avenues.
