Why Gonzales Law Offices

Why Inland Empire Victims Choose Us for Pedestrian Accident Attorney Cases

Not all personal injury attorneys have the same resources, experience, or aggressive approach. Here is what sets Gonzales Law Offices apart.

⚖️
Strong California Pedestrian Rights
California law gives pedestrians the right of way in marked and unmarked crosswalks. We use this legal framework aggressively to establish full driver liability.
🧠
Catastrophic Injury Expertise
Pedestrians suffer TBI, spinal cord injury, fractures, and internal organ damage. We have medical experts who document the full lifelong impact of these injuries.
🎥
Video Evidence Recovery
Intersection and traffic cameras capture pedestrian accidents. We act fast — this footage is often overwritten within 30 days. We subpoena it immediately.
🏃
Hit-and-Run Specialist
When the driver flees, we still pursue recovery through your UM coverage, witness accounts, and camera footage identification. No one should be left without compensation.
🏗️
Government Liability Claims
Dangerous crosswalks, missing signals, and poor lighting can make the city or county liable. We evaluate all responsible parties — including government agencies.
🏠
Home & Hospital Visits
If you cannot travel due to injuries, we come to you. Bedside sign-ups and home consultations available throughout Southern California.
Our Process

How We Handle Your Case — Step by Step

From the moment you call, we take over so you can focus on recovery.

1
Get Emergency Medical Care
Pedestrian injuries are often life-threatening. Call 911 immediately. Do not decline medical care at the scene — this creates critical documentation for your case.
2
File a Police Report
Insist on a police report. This document is essential evidence. Get the officer's name and badge number and obtain a copy of the report number.
3
Gather Evidence
If physically able, photograph the scene, your injuries, the vehicle, the crosswalk markings, and any traffic signals. Get witness names before they leave.
4
Do Not Speak to the Driver's Insurance
The driver's insurance will contact you quickly. Do not give statements. Anything you say will be used to minimize your claim.
5
Call Gonzales Law Offices 24/7
Call 909-587-6336 immediately. We will dispatch investigators, subpoena camera footage, and begin building the strongest possible case for your recovery.

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

Pedestrians have the right of way in all marked and many unmarked crosswalks. However, both pedestrians and drivers share responsibility for avoiding accidents. Even if a pedestrian was jaywalking, they may still recover under California's comparative negligence law — the driver's fault is evaluated separately.
You may still recover through your Uninsured Motorist (UM) coverage even when the driver flees. We also use traffic camera footage, witness accounts, and investigative resources to identify fleeing drivers. Do not assume you have no options.
Yes. If a dangerous intersection design, missing signal, or poor lighting contributed to the accident, the city, county, or state may be liable. Government claims require filing within 6 months of the incident — contact us immediately to preserve this option.
Pedestrian accident damages typically include emergency medical care, hospitalization, surgery, rehabilitation, future care needs, lost wages, pain and suffering, permanent disability, and emotional distress. Because injuries are typically severe, these cases often result in significant recoveries.
