Pedestrian accidents in Glendale happen on crowded sidewalks, at busy intersections, in parking lots, and even in quiet residential neighborhoods. When a vehicle strikes someone on foot, the results can be catastrophic, even at low speeds.

If you or someone you care about was hurt while walking in Glendale, Thompson Law is ready to step in. We move quickly to gather evidence, bring in experts, and push back against insurance companies that try to deny or minimize your claim.

California has specific laws that govern how pedestrians and drivers must act. These rules often determine who bears responsibility after a crash.
Drivers must stop for pedestrians in marked and unmarked crosswalks. Any intersection automatically counts as an unmarked crosswalk under California law. When drivers ignore these rules, they are typically liable for resulting injuries.
Pedestrians must use marked crosswalks or traffic signals when crossing in business districts. Crossing mid-block in these zones can complicate a claim, though it doesn’t always prevent recovery.
Pedestrians must use sidewalks when they’re available. If no sidewalk exists, pedestrians should walk on the left shoulder facing traffic. Failing to follow this rule can affect how fault is assigned.
Crossing outside designated areas is prohibited, but it doesn’t automatically bar compensation. California applies comparative fault rules, so even if you were jaywalking, you might still recover damages if the driver was also negligent.
Pedestrians must obey traffic signals and pedestrian crossing lights. Crossing against a signal can reduce compensation but doesn’t eliminate your right to file a claim if the driver was speeding, distracted, or violated other traffic laws.
Don’t let medical bills and insurance stress overwhelm you. Thompson Law is ready to stand by your side and pursue fair compensation. Contact us today for a free consultation.
Being hit outside a designated crosswalk doesn’t mean you have no case. California uses a pure comparative negligence system, which means you can still recover compensation even if you were partially at fault.
For instance, if you were crossing mid-block but the driver was texting or speeding, the driver’s actions may carry more weight than your own. Insurance companies often try to place all blame on pedestrians to avoid paying claims. An experienced lawyer can push back and make sure your side of the story gets heard.
Pedestrians injured near bus stops, in poorly lit areas, or on streets without safe crossings have successfully pursued claims. Your compensation may be reduced based on your percentage of fault, but you can still recover damages.

Sometimes pedestrian accidents result from more than just driver error. Poorly maintained roads and unsafe infrastructure contribute to crashes.
Common hazards in Glendale include broken or missing streetlights that make it hard for drivers to see pedestrians at night. Faded crosswalk markings and missing pedestrian signals create confusion at intersections. School zones without proper signage put children at risk.
Other problems include long road stretches without crosswalks, forcing pedestrians to cross in unsafe locations. Bus stops placed in dark or poorly marked areas. Shopping centers and public spaces with inadequate lighting.
When these conditions contribute to an accident, liability may extend beyond the driver. The city, property owners, or maintenance contractors could be held responsible if their negligence created the danger.
If unsafe conditions played a role in your accident, our Glendale pedestrian accident lawyers can investigate all parties who may be liable. Reach out to our legal team now for a FREE CASE REVIEW.
Most pedestrian accidents result from preventable driver negligence. Common causes include:
Pedestrians have no protection when struck by a vehicle. Injuries are often severe and life-changing.
Common injuries include:
These injuries often require extended hospital stays, multiple surgeries, and months or years of rehabilitation. They can affect your ability to work, care for yourself, and enjoy life.
If you or a loved one suffered injuries in a pedestrian crash, Thompson Law can help you pursue full and fair compensation.
After a pedestrian accident in Glendale, time matters.
Evidence disappears, and California law sets strict deadlines for filing claims. Thompson Law offers a FREE CASE REVIEW with no obligation. You don’t pay anything unless we recover compensation for you.
Don’t let insurance companies pressure you into a low settlement. Contact our pedestrian accident attorneys in Glendale, CA, today to protect your rights and pursue the money you deserve.
California gives you two years from the accident date to file a personal injury lawsuit. Claims against government entities, such as cases involving dangerous road design, require filing a claim within six months. Missing these deadlines can cost you the right to compensation.
If the driver fled or lacked insurance, you may still have options. Many auto insurance policies include uninsured motorist (UM) coverage that applies even when you were on foot. Our team can review your policy and identify all available sources of compensation.
California follows pure comparative negligence rules, so you can still recover damages even if you were partially at fault. Your compensation will be reduced by your percentage of fault. For example, if you were 30% responsible, your settlement would be reduced by 30%. An attorney can help limit unfair blame from insurance companies.
Case value depends on injury severity, medical costs, lost income, and long-term effects. Permanent disabilities like brain injuries or paralysis significantly increase value. Once we review your case, we can provide a realistic estimate based on the facts.
If a family member was killed, you may be able to file a wrongful death claim. California law allows spouses, children, and other dependents to pursue these claims.
Insurance companies often try to pay less by blaming pedestrians. A lawyer can gather evidence, negotiate with insurers, and represent you in court if needed. Legal representation usually leads to higher settlements and reduces stress during recovery.
Thompson Law charges NO FEE unless we obtain a settlement for your case. We’ve put over $1.9 billion in cash settlements in our clients’ pockets. Contact us today for a free, no-obligation consultation to discuss your accident, get your questions answered, and understand your legal options.
