Pedestrian Accident
Pedestrian accidents encompass any injury sustained while walking near or on the street, within a crosswalk, or while entering or exiting a vehicle.
Though typically involving automobiles, pedestrian accidents may also involve large trucks, cyclists, or motorcyclists. If you’ve suffered injuries in such an incident, you may be entitled to seek damages.
For assistance with your pedestrian accident case, turn to the Long Beach pedestrian accident attorneys at The Beliz Law Firm.
The Long Beach Car Accident Lawyer successfully resolved a negligence lawsuit against a classic car show. Our client, who was attending the event in the Inland Empire, suffered injuries when a 1966 Ford Mustang lost control and struck them while they were trying to get a better view of the parade.
Initially represented by two other attorneys for back pain, our client’s case saw no progress for over three years. Recognizing potential complications like a traumatic brain injury, we thoroughly reviewed medical records and sought expert opinions.
After extensive depositions and securing a motion for summary judgment in our client’s favor, we prepared for trial. However, the defendants opted for mediation just before trial. Within nine months, the Long Beach Car Accident Lawyer reached a settlement of $126,500 with the classic car show and other defendants.

Pedestrian accidents often lead to severe or even catastrophic injuries. This is unsurprising, considering pedestrians lack the protective measures afforded to those inside vehicles. In such accidents, pedestrians typically endure two impacts – one with the vehicle and another with the ground.
Regardless of the severity of your injuries, you may still qualify to seek compensation after a pedestrian accident. Don’t assume your eligibility is limited just because your injuries aren’t catastrophic.
