In Calexico, a pedestrian struck near a busy crossing may face a dispute about signal timing and driver attention. Weiss Attorneys helps injured people preserve evidence, understand the parties and insurance involved, and document the effect of an injury. Our office is in Sherman Oaks, and we offer virtual consultations throughout California.
Evidence to preserve
Photograph the crossing, signals, signs, and view from each approach. Identify witnesses and cameras. Save the report number, shoes, and clothing.
How we investigate the dispute
We reconstruct the pedestrian's entry and the driver's path. A turning movement, obstructed view, or sudden stop may change the analysis. We compare accounts with traffic controls and physical evidence.
Injuries and losses
Keep records of medical care, missed work, mobility limits, and expenses for travel to treatment. Photograph healing injuries over time.
Practical steps
- Keep the incident or collision report number and witness contact information.
- Preserve photographs, video, damaged items, and insurer messages in their original form.
- Get appropriate medical care and retain records of follow-up visits.
- Track missed income, expenses, and changes in everyday activities.
Common question
What if the driver disputes the location of impact?
