Pedestrian deaths in Santa Ana are happening far too often and many involve drivers who flee the scene.
In August 2024, a man was struck and killed while crossing Fairview Street. The driver briefly left before returning, and police investigated it as a possible hit-and-run. Two months after, a 31–year-old man died on Bristol Street after being hit twice, first by a driver who fled, then by a second vehicle that remained at the scene. And in 2023, a man lost his life and a woman was injured in a late-night hit-and-run crash near St. Gertrude Place and South Ross Street.

Pedestrian accidents in Santa Ana aren’t just about who had the right of way. Local laws can directly affect how fault is assigned and how strong your claim is. Knowing the city’s rules for crosswalks, medians, and safety zones can help your lawyer prove negligence, and win your case.
Santa Ana law gives the city’s public works director the power to establish official crosswalks (at intersections and mid-blocks) using painted lines or posted signs. If you were hit while walking in a marked crosswalk, this may work in your favor when proving the driver was at fault.
On the other hand, if signs say not to cross outside designated areas and those rules were ignored, the insurance company might try to use that against you.
In areas where signs say you must use a crosswalk, it’s illegal to cross elsewhere. If the accident happened outside a legal crossing zone, the defense may argue you were partially at fault. But even then, you may still be entitled to compensation if the driver was speeding, distracted, or otherwise careless.
Santa Ana law also bans pedestrians from standing, sitting, or walking on medians unless it’s a designated safety zone or crosswalk. If an accident happened while you were standing in a median, that detail could affect your claim depending on the situation. Your lawyer will review whether proper signs were posted and if the driver could still have avoided the crash.
Santa Ana has specific rules for school crossings, including standards for when adult crossing guards must be provided. If a child is hit near a school and the city failed to meet these requirements, that failure could open the door to additional liability. Even in areas that don’t meet the full standard, schools can pay for guards if they feel safety is at risk.

Santa Ana has several streets and intersections where pedestrian crashes happen more often. These areas see heavy traffic, poor lighting, and drivers who don’t always pay attention. Some of the most accident-prone spots include:

If you were hit while jaywalking, you may still have a case. California follows a rule called “comparative fault,” which means you can still get compensation even if you were partly at fault. But your payout may be reduced based on your level of responsibility.
For example, if you crossed the street outside a crosswalk, but the driver was speeding or distracted, the driver may still be mostly to blame.
Every case is different. A good lawyer will look at traffic reports, witness statements, and local laws to figure out how fault should really be divided.

Some crashes aren’t just the driver’s fault. If the road was unsafe, poorly lit, or missing signs and crosswalks, the city or another party may be responsible, too.
Examples of dangerous road conditions include:
A lawyer can investigate these issues and help you file a claim against the right parties, including the city or a property owner.

If the driver who hit you left the scene, you can still file a claim through your own uninsured motorist (UM) coverage if you have it. Your lawyer can also help search for witnesses, surveillance footage, and traffic camera recordings to identify the driver. It’s important to act quickly, as evidence can disappear fast.
To request your report, contact the Santa Ana Police Department’s Records Division:
If the crash happened on a state highway, reach out to the CHP office. Your lawyer can help you obtain and review the report as well.
In California, you generally have two years from the date of the accident to file a personal injury claim. If you’re filing a claim against a city or government agency (such as for unsafe road design), the deadline can be as short as six months.
If you were not in a marked crosswalk, you may still be eligible for compensation. California uses comparative fault, so even if you were partially at fault, you can still recover damages. The amount may be reduced based on your share of the blame. A lawyer can help show that the driver was still mostly responsible, for example, if they were speeding or distracted.
Yes, you may be able to file a claim against the city of Santa Ana if poor road conditions, missing signage, or dangerous crosswalk placement contributed to your accident. However, claims against government entities have shorter deadlines and strict filing rules.
