Burbank Pedestrian
Accident Lawyer
Client-centered legal representation for pedestrian accident victims in Burbank, CA.
Why You Need a Burbank Pedestrian Accident Lawyer
Pedestrians are among the most vulnerable people on the road. When a vehicle strikes someone on foot, the injuries are often catastrophic—and the legal process that follows can be complex and unfair. Under California’s at-fault insurance system (Vehicle Code §17150), the negligent party must compensate the victim. However, proving liability isn’t always easy, especially when insurance companies try to blame the pedestrian.
California law (Vehicle Code §21950) clearly states that drivers must yield the right-of-way to pedestrians in crosswalks. Despite this, many insurers still dispute fault and minimize injuries. Bias against pedestrians is common, even when the law is on your side.
At Ness Law Firm, our Burbank pedestrian accident lawyers know how to overcome these challenges. We understand local intersections, traffic patterns, and how to build a strong case under California law. We fight to secure compensation for medical bills, lost wages, long-term care, and pain and suffering. You focus on recovery—we’ll handle the rest.
Pedestrian Accident Cases We Handle in Burbank
We represent clients in a wide variety of pedestrian accident cases, including:
Crosswalk Accidents
Streets like Magnolia Boulevard are high-risk for crosswalk injuries. California law (Vehicle Code §21950) protects pedestrians crossing legally, and we fight to prove driver negligence.
Sidewalk Accidents
Cars that veer onto sidewalks on roads like Olive Avenue can cause devastating injuries. We use police reports and witness accounts to hold drivers accountable.
Hit and Run
Drivers who flee the scene violate Vehicle Code §20001. We pursue compensation through uninsured motorist coverage or civil litigation.
