You’re crossing J Street on your morning walk. You have the right of way, but a speeding car runs the red light, and suddenly your world turns upside down.

If this sounds familiar, you’re not alone — and you don’t have to handle the aftermath alone either. At Goyette, Ruano & Thompson, Inc., our Sacramento pedestrian accident lawyers fight to protect injured walkers, joggers, and California’s public safety workers when careless drivers cause harm.

Understanding Pedestrian Accidents in Sacramento

Walking should be safe, but every year, too many people are hit by drivers who are speeding, texting, ignoring crosswalks, or under the influence. Injuries from a pedestrian accident can be severe and life-changing:

  • Broken bones and fractures
  • Head injuries and concussions
  • Spinal cord damage and paralysis
  • Internal injuries
  • Emotional trauma and PTSD

When you’re the one hit, you’re left with mounting medical bills, time away from work, and a long recovery — all because someone couldn’t pay attention.

What Makes a Strong Pedestrian Accident Claim?

Wondering if you have a case? Here’s what our lawyers look for to build a solid pedestrian injury claim:

Fault: Did the driver act negligently — by speeding, running a light, texting, or failing to yield?

Injuries: Did the crash cause real injuries that need medical care?

Proof: Can we connect the driver’s careless actions directly to your injuries and losses?

Damages: Did you suffer costs like hospital bills, therapy, lost wages, or lasting pain and suffering?

Our Sacramento pedestrian accident lawyers collect witness statements, camera footage, police reports, and medical evidence to make sure your story is clear and undeniable.
