Pedestrian Accidents

In any collision involving a vehicle and a person on foot, the pedestrian is at a catastrophic disadvantage. Whether you were in a marked crosswalk or simply crossing the street, the law recognizes that drivers have a primary duty to exercise care. Yet, insurance companies often try to shift the blame, pointing to "distracted walking" or claiming you "darted out" to avoid paying what your claim is actually worth.

At Taylor Law Firm, we don’t let insurance adjusters bully our clients. We understand that a pedestrian accident isn't just a "case"—it’s a life-altering event involving broken bones, spinal injuries, or traumatic brain trauma.

Most "powerhouse" California firms will take a pedestrian case and hand it off to a junior associate or a case manager you’ll never meet. They charge "premium" fees for "standard" service. We do the opposite.

• Direct Attorney Involvement: You aren't a file number. You will have direct access to the attorney handling your case, ensuring that every detail—from the police report to the medical liens—is managed with "white-glove" precision.
• Optimized Recovery: Our goal is to put the most money in your pocket. Because we maintain lower overhead and a smarter fee structure (25% pre-litigation), you keep more of your settlement to cover your medical bills and lost wages.
• The Net Recovery Guarantee*: We stand by our promise: our attorney’s fees will never exceed your net recovery. If we don't win, you don't pay.

• Failure to Yield: Drivers ignoring right-of-way at intersections and crosswalks.
• Distracted Driving: Motorists texting or looking at GPS instead of the road.
• Speeding in Residential Zones: High-impact collisions that lead to permanent disability.
• Unsafe Road Design: Claims against government entities for malfunctioning signals or poor lighting (Note: Government claims have a strict six-month filing deadline).

If you or a loved one has been struck by a vehicle, the clock is already ticking. Evidence disappears and witnesses' memories fade. You need an attorney who knows how to win at trial and who values your financial future as much as you do.

We provide the elite representation you deserve at a price that makes sense for your recovery. 

*Net Recovery Guarantee: Attorney’s fees will be calculated as a percentage of the gross recovery. However, Taylor Law Firm guarantees that total Attorney’s Fees will never exceed the 'Client’s Net Recovery' (the amount the client receives after all Attorney’s Fees, litigation costs and medical liens/reimbursements have been paid). If the calculated fee would result in the attorney receiving more than the client, the fee will be voluntarily reduced to ensure the client receives the majority of the settlement.
