How Pedestrian Accidents Happen in La Habra
Anytime pedestrians come near moving traffic, there is always a risk of an accident. In 2023, 374 people were injured or killed on or near La Habra’s roads, including 16 pedestrians. Collisions can occur at crosswalks along East La Habra Boulevard, North Fonda Street, and elsewhere in La Habra. California saw a statewide pedestrian fatality rate of 3.4 per 100,000 residents in 2021.
Many pedestrian accidents happen when drivers fail to yield at marked or unmarked crosswalks. Speeding through intersections can reduce reaction time and increase the severity of a collision. Distracted driving, which can result from phone use, can prevent motorists from noticing pedestrians entering the roadway. Poor visibility at night or during early morning hours can also contribute to collisions.
Injured pedestrians are typically treated at PIH Health Whittier Hospital, located at 12401 Washington Boulevard in nearby Whittier, or Providence St. Jude Medical Center, located at 101 East Valencia Mesa Drive in nearby Fullerton. When a pedestrian is injured because of a driver’s negligence, the at-fault party can be held liable for the harm they cause.
Establishing Fault
Establishing liability is a complex process that requires strong evidence and sound legal arguments. California’s personal injury laws allow injured victims to pursue compensation when they suffer measurable harm due to someone else’s negligence or misconduct. Drivers are obligated to obey traffic laws and to take reasonable steps to avoid harming pedestrians.
When drivers speed through pedestrian-heavy areas or fail to yield at crosswalks, they can cause serious injuries that leave bystanders contending with medical bills, lost wages, and financial stress. Common forms of evidence for establishing fault for a pedestrian injury include:
- Traffic camera footage
- Police reports documenting initial findings
- Eyewitness statements from pedestrians and nearby drivers
- Photographs of the accident scene
- Medical records linking injuries to the collision
- Cell phone records showing potential distracted driving
- Vehicle damage reports
Once your injury lawyer has gathered these and other forms of documentation, you can file an injury claim seeking compensation for the harm you suffered.
Compensation You May Be Owed
Given the severe injuries that can result from a collision, many pedestrians are left contending with traumatic brain injuries, reduced mobility, and long recoveries. When you work with an experienced personal injury lawyer and gather the right types of evidence, you can pursue an injury claim that compensates you for the harm and setbacks you endured from a pedestrian accident.
Injury claims can lead to compensation for economic and non-economic damages. The financial losses you suffer through medical bills, lost wages, reduced earning capacity, and out-of-pocket expenses are considered economic damages. By carefully reviewing receipts, bills, and considering upcoming treatment costs, your attorney can calculate the total value of tangible losses you suffered.
You may also be eligible for compensation for non-economic damages, which address the physical pain and emotional harm you endured from a pedestrian accident. By accounting for both types of damages, you can be financially restored for the losses and setbacks you suffered due to a driver’s negligence or misconduct.
Why You Should Hire a Pedestrian Accident Lawyer
The outcome of your pedestrian accident claim could be determined by the effectiveness of the La Habra pedestrian accident lawyer representing your case. The decision to hire a pedestrian accident lawyer sends the message that you take your right to compensation seriously. Injury lawyers understand the state’s pedestrian accident laws and how they could pertain to your claim.
If the other party disputes liability or their insurer downplays the harm you suffered, your injury attorney can rely on the evidence and facts of the case to make sure that you receive the compensation that you are owed. Attorneys play an active role in guiding the injury claims process by gathering evidence, engaging in direct talks with the other party, and addressing challenges as they arise.

I could not be more pleased with the services provided by the Law Offices of W. Douglas Easton. The senior partner Mr. Easton took the time to meet with me and my wife while I was still in the hospital, where he gave my family hope that there was light at the end of a very long, and very dark tunnel. Matt Easton then worked my case, and because of his dedication, experience and expertise I received a settlement that was larger than I EVER thought possible. It was truly astounding! Matt and the entire team at Easton & Easton looked out for me throughout my recovery, and in the end they gave me my life back. Five stars is not enough. Thanks Matt! Thanks Easton & Easton!

Retaining Easton and Easton was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made! From the initial consultation to our final meeting, they were nothing short of exceptional. I was forced to retain their services after firing my previous attorney for not handling the case properly. I dealt with Gabriel and Brian (partner) exclusively throughout the case. They did as promised and were great communicators throughout the entire process. I will recommend them to anyone I know going through a personal injury case. They were ultimately able to untangle the mess caused by my previous lawyer and get a result that I was extremely happy with. Their staff is exceptional as well and provided top notch customer service. Amera was also extremely helpful and easy to deal with as well.
I was in a pretty bad car accident and decided to have Easton & Easton represent me, Travis Easton to be specific. Travis Easton and his paralegal made the whole process effortless. They were so understanding and helpful! The entire thing was a gigantic mess, yet Travis managed to make it run like clockwork. I would HIGHLY recommend Easton & Easton! If you are ever in need of a personal defense attorney Easton & Easton is the firm to represent you!
They are the best law firm in Orange County period. Choosing them to represent me was the best decision of my life.
My life changed in a matter of seconds after a catastrophic spinal cord injury that left me disabled. Brian Easton and his team worked on my case non stop for 3 years and provided me the justice I deserved. I couldn’t have been more content.
I was treated with utmost respect and I felt like I was being represented by a close family member. The responses to my questions were quick and clear. What E & E has done for me is phenomenal.
My sincere thanks to Brian, Matt, Travis, Doug, Gabriel and Amera. They are what they are because of their dedication to provide high quality and professional service to their clients.
Brian Easton and his team, Gabe Mendoza and Amera Hajali, helped me during a very difficult time in my life. I had a significant injury from a car accident, and wound up seeking out Easton & Easton when I was having difficulties getting help from my doctors. The Easton team took a lot of stress off of me while acting as my advocates to help me get the care I needed, and saw my case all the way through to a healthy settlement.
