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 SD — and how we handle it.
SD pedestrian hotspots: the Gaslamp Quarter (especially 4th Ave and 5th Ave at Market / G Street late nights), Pacific Beach Boulevard / Garnet Ave, La Jolla Boulevard, the downtown grid (especially Broadway and Market between 1st and 10th), and the high-arterials like El Cajon Boulevard and University Avenue. Tourist density + unfamiliar drivers + permissive jaywalking enforcement = high case volume.
We use Vision Zero SD data to identify systemic intersection hazards. For tourist-victim cases (common in SD) we coordinate medical care and case communication across state lines so the plaintiff isn't required to repeatedly travel back.

San Diego questions, answered.
I was hit as a pedestrian in San Diego — 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.
