The legal framework — plain language.
California has some of the highest pedestrian fatality rates in the country. The Freedom to Walk Act (effective 2023) decriminalized most jaywalking — meaning a pedestrian crossing mid-block can no longer be automatically blamed for the crash. The fault analysis returns to we handle every type.
Where it happens in Long Beach — and how we handle it.
LB pedestrian hotspots: Pine Avenue's downtown nightlife corridor crossings, Convention Center event-day pedestrian volume on Ocean Boulevard, the downtown grid (Broadway, 1st-7th Streets), Belmont Shore's 2nd Street, and the Aquarium of the Pacific area on weekends.
LBPD report-pulls (separate from LAPD). Convention Center event-day cases may involve the venue operator (SMG Long Beach Convention) and the City of Long Beach for traffic management — both potentially-liable parties. Aquarium of the Pacific premises liability for adjacent-property cases.

Long Beach questions, answered.
I was hit as a pedestrian in Long Beach — can I recover even if I was crossing mid-block?
Possibly yes. Drivers owe pedestrians a duty of care regardless, and fault is rarely all-or-nothing. Let us look at the specifics before you rule anything out.
The driver's insurance offered me a settlement already — should I take it?
Not before you talk to us. Early offers are usually far below what your injuries are worth. Once you sign, you can't go back.
