The team at the legal firm recognizes that the issues in Pedestrian accidents remain a pressing concern in California and across the nation, with tragic incidents leading to injuries and fatalities.

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), 2013 saw a staggering 4,735 pedestrian fatalities in the United States, while tens of thousands suffered injuries, with approximately 69,000 reported in 2011. Among those injured, a significant portion comprised minors under 14, with males accounting for 65% of the total, amounting to 7,000 cases.

The team assists Individuals who have sustained injuries or lost loved ones in pedestrian accidents to pursue fair compensation under Personal Injury laws. However, the extent of the compensation granted can be affected by various factors, including the degree of fault attributable to the victim. Central to these cases is negligence, which must be substantiated through compelling evidence and reliable eyewitness accounts.

The Law Office of Melinda J. Helbock places utmost importance on understanding and upholding California’s Pedestrian Accident Laws. The team provides information about how drivers are expected to exercise reasonable care to avoid harming pedestrians; the California Vehicle Code directs pedestrians to exercise due diligence in safeguarding their safety and not unexpectedly entering the path of oncoming vehicles.

Similarly, drivers are mandated to yield the right of way to pedestrians crossing the road at marked crosswalks and intersections without marked crosswalks.

It is imperative to note that even seemingly minor violations can potentially impact the allocation of fault in a pedestrian accident case. In accordance with California Vehicle Code 21451, pedestrians have the right to proceed across a roadway at marked or unmarked crosswalks.

Nevertheless, suppose pedestrians are struck at an intersection because they entered the area when the defendant’s vehicle had a green light. In that case, they may be deemed partially at fault.

Furthermore, pedestrians must yield to vehicles already within the intersection when their traffic signal changes to green. Failure to comply with this requirement could lead to the pedestrian being liable if an accident occurs.

Melinda added, “Our mission is to fight tirelessly for our clients’ rights, seeking justice and fair compensation to help them rebuild their lives.”

The Law Office of Melinda J. Helbock reaffirms its commitment to advocating for the rights of pedestrians involved in accidents and strives to bring forth the best possible legal outcomes.
