Pedestrian Accidents
What these cases are really about.
Los Angeles is one of the most dangerous large cities in America to cross a street. When a vehicle hits a person, the injuries are rarely minor — and the first version of events usually comes from the only person still standing: the driver.
Like every matter at Sipora & Sons, pedestrian accidents cases are handled by one attorney from the first phone call to the final resolution, on contingency: no attorney's fee unless you recover.

Common questions
Pedestrian Accidents questions.
What does it cost to hire you for a pedestrian accidents case?
Nothing up front. These cases are handled on contingency: no attorney's fee unless a recovery is obtained. The consultation itself is free and confidential.
How long do I have to file?
Generally two years in California, but claims against public entities require a government claim within six months, and other exceptions can shorten the window. Call early so no deadline is lost.
What should I do right now?
Get medical care and keep every record, photograph what you can, and do not give the insurance company a recorded statement before talking to a lawyer.
