In Davis, a crosswalk incident may turn on a driver's turn, signal phase, and failure to observe a person already crossing. 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 signals, crosswalk markings, lane arrows, sight lines, and any nearby bicycle traffic. Keep witness details and identify cameras. Note the direction of each movement.
How we investigate the dispute
We compare the pedestrian's entry and the driver's turn with available video and physical evidence. A driver saying the signal was green does not alone address the pedestrian phase or lookout.
Injuries and losses
Keep treatment records, wage documentation, and notes about walking, school, or daily activities affected by the injury.
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 received no citation?
A citation decision does not replace the civil investigation. We review the underlying evidence.
