Glendale Pedestrian Accident Lawyers
Personal Injury Advocacy for Californians In & Around San Fernando Valley & Los Angeles County
Pedestrians are uniquely vulnerable in our densely trafficked metropolitan area. Millions of Southern Californians in the Greater Los Angeles area walk the streets, crosswalks, and roadway shoulders.
Unlike vehicle occupants, pedestrians have little to no protection in a collision. Pedestrians can suffer severe or even catastrophic consequences when struck by a vehicle traveling at even low speeds. At higher speeds, a pedestrian can become a wrongful death fatality.
These incidents can leave victims reeling from physical pain and disability, lost wages, and staggering medical expenses. In the worst cases, family members can face the reality of a lost loved one. A personal injury claim or lawsuit can be filed where negligence, recklessness, or intentional wrongdoing has resulted in pedestrian injuries.
At Law Offices of Harout Balian, our competent and caring team of Glendale pedestrian accident attorneys is here to provide the representation you need to pursue the damages you deserve in such cases.

Driver Negligence Leading to Pedestrian Accidents
Driver negligence is a critical factor contributing to pedestrian injuries, manifesting in several forms. Distracted driving, often caused by mobile phone use or other in-vehicle distractions, diverts a driver's attention away from the road and the presence of pedestrians.
Speeding is another prevalent issue, as drivers who exceed speed limits may not have sufficient time to react when a pedestrian enters their path. Additionally, reckless driving behaviors, such as running red lights or ignoring stop signs, can create hazardous situations for those on foot.
Impaired driving, whether due to alcohol or drugs, significantly reduces a driver’s ability to make sound judgments and react appropriately, increasing the risk of pedestrian accidents. Moreover, failure to yield to pedestrians in crosswalks or during school bus loading and unloading can lead to severe injuries.
According to the California Office of Traffic Safety, pedestrian accidents are a growing concern. According to their statistics, the fatality rate for pedestrians in our state is almost 25 percent higher than the national average.
Potential Compensation for Pedestrian Injury Claims
As in other personal injury cases, your injury claim can result in multiple damages, such as for all past and future medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering. These damages can be significantly higher in cases of catastrophic injuries, where a pedestrian has sustained life-changing and permanent disability.
