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 Venice — and how we handle it.
Venice pedestrian hotspots: the Venice Beach Boardwalk where bikes/skates/scooters share space with pedestrians (causing third-party-vehicle cases), Abbot Kinney Boulevard at evening peak hours, Lincoln Boulevard's high-speed crossings, Pacific Avenue parallel to the Boardwalk, and the Venice Pier area on weekends.
Boardwalk cases involve unique non-vehicle pedestrian injuries (e-scooters, bicycles) — we identify the operating entity (Lime, Bird, etc.) and pull rental records to establish operator policies. LADOT Vision Zero data identifies systemic-hazard arguments for Lincoln Boulevard intersections.
More context for your case.
Venice questions, answered.
I was hit as a pedestrian in Venice — 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.
