Pedestrian accidents in Moreno Valley are often caused by driver inattention or poor decision-making. Drivers failing to yield at crosswalks, speeding through residential neighborhoods, or making unsafe turns at busy intersections are among the top reasons these collisions happen.
Distracted driving, particularly from texting or using one’s cellphone, also plays a significant role. In some cases, pedestrians are struck at night when visibility is low and drivers aren’t using proper caution.
Thompson Law is here to investigate every detail to get to the truth.
We know what it takes to hold negligent drivers accountable in pedestrian crash cases. Our clients choose us because we don’t treat cases like files. We treat them like people.

We take pedestrian injury cases personally. When someone’s reckless behavior upends your life, we step in to set things right.
We don’t just send letters and make calls. We build powerful cases based on facts, expert opinions, and your lived experience. Whether your case settles or goes to trial, we’re ready. You won’t pay us anything unless we win because we follow a contingency fee scheme.
Your claim is only as strong as the evidence behind it. We start with the police report, which often includes the driver’s statements, witness info, and fault analysis. From there, we seek out surveillance footage, dashcam video, and 911 call logs.
Medical records show the extent of your injuries and connect them directly to the crash. Photos of your injuries and the accident scene also play a key role, along with phone records if the driver may have been distracted.
Every detail we gather builds the case for maximum compensation. Let us get started with a FREE CASE REVIEW.
In California, drivers must yield to pedestrians in crosswalks, marked or unmarked. If a driver fails to do so, they’ve likely violated their legal duty.
To win your case, we prove the driver breached that duty, that the breach caused your injury, and that your damages are real and significant. If you were outside a crosswalk, we examine visibility, lighting, and traffic flow to determine if you still had partial right-of-way under California law.
You can still recover compensation even if you were partly at fault. We’ll handle the legal arguments. You focus on healing.
If the at-fault driver had no insurance or left the scene, you still have options. We may be able to file a claim under your uninsured motorist policy or investigate the crash to identify the driver using surveillance footage, plate recognition, or witness statements.
Don’t assume a hit-and-run or uninsured driver means the end of your case. Call us for a FREE CONSULTATION to find out your next steps.
The process starts with a free case review. From there, we investigate your claim, gather all medical and accident-related documentation, and manage all communication with insurance companies.
You’ll get regular updates, honest answers, and experienced guidance through every phase. We push for a fair settlement, but we’ll never hesitate to go to trial if that’s what justice requires.
Insurance companies often try to paint pedestrians as careless, claiming you “should have seen the car” or “weren’t paying attention.” We’re familiar with these tactics and we know how to challenge them with facts.
We present clear evidence of driver fault, use expert witnesses when needed, and stay aggressive in negotiations. Don’t let bias work against you. Let us even the playing field.
Certain areas of Moreno Valley see a higher number of pedestrian crashes. Whether due to poor visibility, heavy traffic, or inadequate signage, these locations pose real risks:
If your injury occurred in one of these locations, we’re already familiar with the hazards. Call now for a FREE CASE REVIEW.
Seeing a doctor right away is important, not just for your health, but for your case. Delays in treatment can give insurers a reason to downplay your injuries.
You also need a police report. It establishes a legal record of what happened and who was involved. Without it, insurers will question everything. We’ll help you gather both and protect your claim.
After any pedestrian accident, getting checked out is the first step toward recovery. Here are several medical centers in Moreno Valley that treat accident victims:

In California, drivers are required to yield to pedestrians in both marked and unmarked crosswalks. However, pedestrians must also avoid stepping out into traffic in an unsafe manner. California follows a pure comparative negligence system, so even if you were partly at fault, you can still win damages.
Pedestrian accident claims in Moreno Valley, like the rest of California, are governed by a combination of state laws and local ordinances. Understanding these legal standards is critical in determining liability and how much compensation you may be entitled to receive.
Below are some specific laws and rules that can impact your pedestrian accident case:
Under California Vehicle Code § 21950, drivers must yield the right-of-way to pedestrians crossing the road within any marked crosswalk or at an intersection with an unmarked crosswalk. However, pedestrians also have a duty to exercise reasonable care and cannot suddenly leave a curb and walk or run into the path of a vehicle that is too close to stop.
This law prohibits crossing the roadway between adjacent intersections controlled by traffic signals, except within a marked crosswalk. While jaywalking is a violation, it does not bar you from filing a claim if you’re hit. Instead, it may reduce your compensation proportionally.
This statute sets the 25 mph speed limit in school zones when children are present. Local enforcement is strict in Moreno Valley near schools like Bear Valley Elementary and Valley View High School.
Drivers must operate at a safe speed for current conditions, regardless of the posted limit. That includes slowing down for poor visibility, heavy pedestrian traffic, or residential areas.
While California law governs most pedestrian rights, Moreno Valley may designate additional crosswalks, pedestrian signage, and enforcement zones through local ordinances. For example, Moreno Valley PD regularly conducts pedestrian safety operations under local initiatives funded by the Office of Traffic Safety.

In most cases, you have two years from the date of your accident to file a lawsuit. If a government entity is involved, such as a city bus or poorly maintained road, you may have as little as six months to file a claim.
These deadlines are strict. Don’t wait and risk losing your right to compensation. Talk to an attorney as soon as possible.
At Thompson Law, we don’t just take cases. We fight for people. Every pedestrian accident deserves a full investigation, and every injured victim deserves justice.
Let us help you move forward with strength and clarity. You don’t pay unless we win.

Your compensation depends on medical costs, lost income, pain and suffering, and long-term effects. Some cases settle for thousands, others for much more.
Every case is different. Some resolve in a few months. More complex or serious cases can take a year or longer, especially if they go to trial.
Under California law, you can still recover damages even if you share some fault. Your final award may simply be reduced based on your percentage of fault.
No. In fact, you shouldn’t. Insurance companies may try to get you to say something that hurts your case. Let your attorney handle all communication.
Hit-and-run accidents are handled differently, but you still have options. We’ll investigate, check for surveillance footage, and pursue coverage under your policy if available.
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.
State law limits the time you have to file a claim after an injury accident, so call today.
