In Menifee, a crosswalk collision requires careful attention to signal phase, turning direction, and sight lines. 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 crosswalk and pedestrian signal, traffic lights, lane arrows, and any obstruction. Keep the police report number and witness contacts. Identify cameras facing the intersection promptly.
How we investigate the dispute
We compare the walk signal, driver turn, and pedestrian movement with available video and physical evidence. A driver may claim not to see the pedestrian; that claim needs review against visibility and traffic controls.
Injuries and losses
Head, leg, and back injuries may affect work and mobility. Preserve medical records, photographs, wage loss, and notes about tasks requiring help.
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 signal changed while I was crossing?
We examine when you entered, the signal sequence, and the driver's movement rather than relying on the signal after impact.
