Do not leave the scene. Call 911 to get police and medical responders. A police report documenting the driver’s information and what happened is one of the most important pieces of evidence in your case.
If your injuries allow, photograph the vehicle, the crosswalk or intersection, traffic signals, and your injuries. Get contact information from any witnesses. If you cannot do this yourself, ask someone nearby to help.
Internal injuries, traumatic brain injuries, and spinal cord damage frequently occur in pedestrian crashes without obvious external signs. Let paramedics evaluate and transport you. Follow up with a full medical exam within 24 hours.
The driver’s insurance company will contact you quickly and try to settle for as little as possible. Call us first at 866-GOT-PAIN. We protect your rights from the very first conversation.
Sacramento ranks among the most dangerous cities in California for pedestrians. Busy corridors like Stockton Boulevard, Florin Road, Arden Way, and North Sacramento see a disproportionate share of pedestrian collisions. Many crashes occur at unmarked crosswalks, poorly lit intersections, and areas where sidewalks are incomplete. The Sacramento region has been designated a focus area under California’s statewide pedestrian safety initiative. Phoong Law has represented hundreds of families affected by pedestrian accidents and understands the devastating impact these crashes have on victims and their loved ones.
Pedestrian injuries are among the most severe in all of personal injury law. When a vehicle strikes an unprotected person, the resulting injuries often require extensive medical treatment and long recovery periods. California law entitles victims to full compensation.
Pedestrian crashes frequently cause broken bones, head injuries, spinal damage, and internal organ trauma. Surgeries, hospital stays, rehabilitation, and ongoing care are all recoverable.
Months or years away from work, inability to return to your previous occupation, and reduced lifetime earning potential are compensable under California law.
Pedestrian accident survivors often experience chronic pain, fear of crossing streets, flashbacks, anxiety, and depression. These non-economic damages are recognized and compensable.
When injuries prevent you from caring for your family, participating in activities, or living independently, those losses of quality of life carry real legal value.
Pedestrian crashes happen in crosswalks, parking lots, neighborhoods, and on highways. Each scenario involves different legal issues and our attorneys are prepared for all of them.
Drivers who fail to yield to pedestrians in marked and unmarked crosswalks cause some of Sacramento’s most preventable injuries. Intersections along Stockton Blvd and Florin Road are especially dangerous.
Drivers making turns at intersections frequently look for other vehicles but fail to check for pedestrians. These crashes happen at high frequency during rush hour across midtown and downtown Sacramento.
Shopping centers, hospital lots, and office garages are common sites for pedestrian knockdowns. Drivers backing out without looking and speeding through rows cause serious injuries to shoppers and visitors.
Hit-and-run incidents involving pedestrians are alarmingly common in Sacramento. We investigate using surveillance footage, traffic cameras, and witness canvassing to identify the driver and hold them accountable.
Many of Sacramento’s pedestrian fatalities occur after dark, especially in areas with poor street lighting. Even in low-visibility conditions, drivers have a legal duty to exercise care and watch for pedestrians.
Pedestrians struck by Sacramento Regional Transit buses, near bus stops, or while crossing transit corridors face unique liability issues involving government entities. We know how to navigate these claims.

The moment you hire Phoong Law, our team begins working your case. We handle every conversation with the insurance company, coordinate your medical treatment, investigate the crash scene, and prepare your case for maximum recovery. Here is the process.
You can still recover compensation. California follows comparative negligence rules, meaning your recovery may be reduced by your share of fault, but you are not barred from filing a claim. Drivers are always required to exercise due care for pedestrians.
Pedestrian cases often involve catastrophic injuries and result in substantial settlements and verdicts. The value depends on your medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, and long-term impact on your life.
The at-fault driver’s insurance is ultimately responsible. In the meantime, your health insurance or MedPay coverage can cover initial treatment. We help coordinate payment so you can focus on healing.
Yes. If missing crosswalks, broken traffic signals, inadequate lighting, or poor road design contributed to your crash, the city or county may share liability. Government claims have strict deadlines, so contact us promptly.
California gives you two years for a standard personal injury claim. If a government entity is involved, you have only six months to file an administrative claim. Acting quickly preserves your options.
None. We handle pedestrian cases on contingency. You pay zero attorney fees unless we secure compensation for you. Your consultation is completely free.
