Representing Victims of Pedestrian Accidents

Pedestrians literally take their lives in their hands every time they cross the street. They are extremely vulnerable to being hit by cars and other vehicles. Pedestrians must trust that drivers are paying attention, that they will stop for traffic lights or stop signs, and that they will give pedestrians the right of way. Simply paying attention and following the rules of the road seems to be too much to ask for many drivers.

Fighting for the Rights of Pedestrians

The sad result is that pedestrians are frequent accident victims, even when they are legally crossing a roadway in a marked or unmarked crosswalk.

The attorneys of Greene Broillet & Wheeler, LLP, represent clients who were seriously injured in pedestrian accidents and the family members of those who died a wrongful death in such accidents. We have successfully represented clients who were hit by cars in crosswalks and parking lots as well as those who were hit by vehicles that were driven up onto sidewalks or into public spaces such as sidewalk cafes or farmers' markets.

Serious Injuries

Pedestrians who survive accidents involving cars, trucks, buses, motorcycles or other vehicles often suffer extremely serious injuries, including head and brain injuries, back, neck and spinal cord injuries, multiple fractures and internal injuries. The accident can leave them paralyzed and unable to work or earn a living.

Our injury lawyers work to maximize the results our clients obtain. We pursue full compensation for pain and suffering, current and future medical expenses, lost wages and lost future earning capacity, permanent disability and more.

If you or a member of your family was injured in a pedestrian accident, you can rely on Greene Broillet & Wheeler, LLP, for effective legal representation. Contact us to discuss your case. We represent clients in the Los Angeles area and throughout Southern California and the entire state. We also consult with attorneys and clients nationwide.

Impact to Change

Much of our firm's work involves taking on large corporations, insurance companies and government agencies. By and large, these entities oppose change and will expend seemingly unlimited resources to preserve the status quo. At GB&W, we relish taking on this level of opposition. Through our many years of practice, our personal injury lawyers and staff have achieved unparalleled success in trial and other forums against these opponents. Taking on these companies serves a dual purpose. First, our efforts help our clients recover the compensation they need to move forward after a life-changing injury. Secondly, our work makes communities safer places to live. In this way, everyone can benefit from our work.
