Sasha was the best lawyer I have worked with in my entire life. I had recently got into a car accident and Sasha took care of me from start to finish. I remember panicking because I didn’t know what to do but Sasha had took care of everything. One thing that really struck me was that Sasha had always reminded me that everything was in good care. He had reassured me and given me detailed updates throughout the process and that had given me the confidence I needed. Thank you Sasha for everything you have done! I recommend 1000%

What Causes Pedestrian Accidents in Encino
Pedestrian accidents in Encino occur in alarming numbers in California: over 7,000 serious collisions with pedestrians occur annually, many of which have tragic consequences. These accidents are often the result of a combination of human negligence, poor infrastructure, and dangerous driving. Here are the most common causes
➥ Speeding
➥ Failure to yield the right of way to pedestrians at crosswalks
➥ Drunk driving
➥ Using a phone while driving
Also, poor visibility, insufficient street lighting, and inadequate pedestrian infrastructure can contribute to serious accidents. Early morning and late evening hours are more risky for pedestrians than other parts of the day. In some cases, even pedestrian negligence, such as crossing outside a pedestrian crossing or using a phone while crossing a street can play a significant role in an accident.
Crosswalk vs. Jaywalking: How Location Impacts Your Payout
If you were hit by a car as a pedestrian, where the accident happened could mean the difference between a 10,000 settlement and a 500,000 verdict. Insurance companies aggressively fight claims where victims weren’t in a crosswalk but at Bojat Law Group, we know how to beat their arguments.
Does Jaywalking Automatically Kill Your Case?
No—but it changes the fight. California follows comparative negligence laws, meaning even if you were partially at fault, you can still recover damages. However:
✔ Marked Crosswalk Accidents → Strongest cases (drivers almost always at fault)
✔ Unmarked Crossings → Still winnable with proper evidence
✔ Mid-Block Jaywalking → Harder, but we’ve won millions in these cases
From crosswalk collisions to sidewalk impacts involving Ubers, our Uber accident lawyer Encino brings precision and pressure to every pedestrian injury claim.
How We Prove Drivers Share Fault (Even If You Weren’t in a Crosswalk)
We use:
✅ Traffic light timing reports (was the walk signal actually on?)
✅ Surveillance & doorbell camera footage (did the driver have time to stop?)
✅ Black box data (were they speeding or distracted?)
✅ Biomechanical experts (could they have avoided the crash?)
School Zone Pedestrian Accidents: Why These Cases Are Different
If your child—or any pedestrian—was hit by a car in a school zone, California law gives you powerful leverage that most families never use. At Bojat Law Group, we’ve recovered 5-7X higher settlements in school crosswalk cases by enforcing these overlooked rules.
California Vehicle Code § 22358.4 imposes stricter liability near schools, including:
- Automatic Speed Limit Violations (even 1 mph over = negligence)
- Enhanced Crosswalk Protections (drivers must yield even without signals)
- Double Fines for Violations (proving recklessness to juries)
Pedestrian Hit at Low Speed?
Just because a car was moving slowly doesn’t mean your injuries are minor—in fact, low-speed pedestrian accidents often cause hidden spinal damage, traumatic brain injuries (TBI), and lifelong disabilities.
Insurance companies often try to minimize these cases, arguing that the low impact doesn’t justify a large settlement. But medical bills, time off work, physical therapy, and pain and suffering add up quickly and you have every right to seek full compensation.
At Bojat Law Group, we’ve recovered $3.8M in the last year alone for clients insurers claimed “weren’t seriously hurt.”
Our Pedestrian Case Timeline With Real Numbers
We guide pedestrian accident victims through every step of their legal journey with transparency and proven results and we make sure you know every detail of your case.
Here is exactly how our process works with real case examples – from the moment you’re hit, we spring into action within the first 30 days we secure critical evidence like traffic camera footage (which disappears after 28 days) and witness statements while arranging medical treatment through our lien network.
In one Hollywood crosswalk case, this aggressive early action allowed us to draft a 250,000 policy demand within just 21 days. When insurers inevitably lowball with insulting offers (likethe15,000 “just a broken leg” offer we received in Month 2), our investigators go to work uncovering deleted texts and commissioning biomechanical reports that reveal long-term damage, turning that 15K offer into a 425K settlement by month 6.
Don’t settle for less – call (818) 877-4878 BOJAT LAW GROUP today for a free case strategy session. Remember: California’s strict 2-year deadline applies even if you’re still treating, so act now to protect your rights. We don’t get paid unless you recover money.
Common Concerns After a Pedestrian Accident Clarified
Do I have a case if I wasn’t in a crosswalk?
Yes. California law doesn’t automatically blame the pedestrian for crossing outside the lines. the driver was speeding, distracted, or failed to yield, you can still have a strong case. We’ve won six-figure settlements for clients who crossed mid-block but were hit by drivers clearly not paying attention. It’s about fault — not just location.
What’s your move when a driver claims ‘they came out of nowhere’?
This is insurance company code for ‘we’re not paying.’ Our response? We go full CSI. In our current case against a rideshare driver:
We subpoenaed the vehicle’s black box data showing the driver never braked
Found a tourist’s cell phone video capturing the entire incident
Used Google Earth to prove the driver had 400 feet of unobstructed view
What If the driver wasn’t cited by police?
A police report is not the final word while it is easier when there is a police report it does not mean you cannot file your claim without it.
We’re currently representing a school teacher who was hit in a crosswalk – no ticket issued to the driver. Here’s our game plan:
Obtained the officer’s bodycam showing he spent just 90 seconds investigating
Hired a former police chief to testify about improper procedure
Discovered the driver had 3 previous unreported accidents
What’s the biggest mistake pedestrian victims make after the accident?
Telling EMTs or police they’re “okay” or “don’t need medical help.” That one moment of downplaying pain can slash your case value by thousands. Pain often kicks in hours later. Always get evaluated, even if it feels minor. Your future compensation depends on it.
How do you handle hit-and-run pedestrian cases with no license plate?
We don’t give up. First move: we pull security cam footage from nearby businesses, look for paint transfer, and use witness descriptions to identify the vehicle make. In one case, we tracked a suspect vehicle through gas station footage and license plate readers — leading to a $350K recovery, even with no plate captured at the scene.
