If you or a loved one has suffered injuries after being hit by a car, a bus or other vehicle as a pedestrian, or broken bones in a fall because of a sidewalk defect, contact a San Jose pedestrian accident lawyer at Hinkle, Jachimowicz, Pointer & Emanuel. For more than 30 years, we have been helping injured pedestrians get the financial compensation they need from negligent drivers and property owners.

The first step in any pedestrian accident case is to prove who was at fault. This often requires an investigation into both the accident itself and into ownership of the property.

Premises liability : Badly maintained sidewalks are usually the responsibility of property owners but local ordinances may have shifted liability to the city or county, or both the property owner and municipal government. We will determine who is ultimately responsible.

Motor Vehicle Accidents: Many crosswalk injury cases occur on or near school property. A student or an adult pedestrian is crossing at the crosswalk and a car or truck driver makes a right-hand turn while looking left for traffic. The driver hits the pedestrian, causing broken legs, knees and ankles.

Sometimes pedestrians are struck while still standing on the sidewalk. A car or taxi may jump the curb and hit a pedestrian, or a large bus or truck may make a sharp right turn and run over a pedestrian at a corner.
