San Diego is a walkable city with active pedestrian areas including the Gaslamp Quarter, Little Italy, Hillcrest, Pacific Beach, and downtown near the Convention Center and Petco Park. However, pedestrians face real dangers at busy intersections, near trolley stations, and along high speed corridors like El Cajon Boulevard and University Avenue.
Speeding, distracted driving, and failure to yield at crosswalks are leading causes of pedestrian accidents in San Diego. California law gives pedestrians the right of way in marked and unmarked crosswalks, and drivers have a duty to exercise due care. Phoong Law helps San Diego pedestrians hold negligent drivers accountable.
