As a pedestrian injured by a negligent driver, you have the right to pursue financial compensation. This can help relieve the burdens you’re carrying and ensure your long-term needs are met. Many victims don’t realize the full extent of what they may be owed.
You may be entitled to the following damages:
These include medical bills, rehabilitation costs, lost income, and any expenses related to your recovery. If you can’t work due to your injuries, we seek fair compensation for that lost potential, too.
Pain, emotional distress, and the inability to enjoy life the way you did before the accident are real losses. These damages acknowledge the personal toll the crash has taken on you.
If the driver was especially reckless, such as being intoxicated or fleeing the scene, you may also receive punitive damages. These are meant to punish and deter dangerous behavior.

Determining who is responsible for a pedestrian injury takes a careful look at the facts. Liability can extend beyond just the driver who hit you.
Potentially liable parties include the following:
Each case is unique. That’s why we dig deep and explore every angle during your FREE CASE EVALUATION.
California law recognizes the unique vulnerability of visually impaired pedestrians and imposes a heightened duty of care on drivers.
Blind pedestrians rely on their hearing, their sense of motion, and their guide dogs to interpret traffic and road signals. Their ability to react to a moving vehicle is significantly reduced, which makes any collision potentially more catastrophic.
Blind pedestrians using a cane or guide dog are granted the absolute right-of-way. This goes beyond standard pedestrian laws, where caution is expected from both the driver and the pedestrian. In cases involving a blind pedestrian, the responsibility rests heavily on the driver to avoid harm.
Although California allows injury awards to be reduced if the plaintiff is partly at fault, this rarely applies in White Cane Law violations. If the driver failed to yield the absolute right-of-way, courts are likely to place the full blame on the driver rather than the blind pedestrian.
At Thompson Law, we take these cases seriously and pursue full accountability for clients with visual impairments. If you or a loved one was struck under these circumstances, reach out for a FREE CASE REVIEW to discuss your legal options.
Oxnard has several corridors that pose significant risks to pedestrians. These roads have seen frequent accidents, injuries, and even fatalities, often involving drivers who fail to yield or who are distracted, speeding, or impaired.
If you were hurt on any of these roads, contact us for a FREE CONSULTATION. We understand the dangers of these areas and how to build strong cases around them.

Oxnard follows California’s statute of limitations, which is two years from the date of the pedestrian accident. If a government entity is involved, such as the city of Oxnard, that time frame may shrink to just six months. It’s crucial to speak with a lawyer early so important deadlines are not missed.
Yes, you can still pursue compensation. California follows pure comparative negligence laws, which allow you to recover damages even if you were partially at fault. The court will reduce your compensation based on your share of responsibility, but you still have a legal right to file a claim.
Delaying medical care can complicate your claim, but it doesn’t necessarily disqualify you. You should still see a doctor as soon as possible. We can help connect the timeline of your symptoms and injury to the accident and build supporting evidence to strengthen your case.
You may still be able to recover damages through your own uninsured motorist coverage or other legal avenues. Hit-and-run cases are more complex but not hopeless. Our team has experience handling these claims and can help identify your best options for pursuing compensation.
Possibly. Even if you crossed against a signal, the driver may still have a legal duty to yield. Each case depends on the specific facts and local traffic laws. A lawyer can help assess how this affects your ability to recover damages during your FREE CASE REVIEW.
