In Rancho Cucamonga, a pedestrian struck by a vehicle entering or leaving a driveway needs evidence of both travel paths. 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 driveway, sidewalk, signs, curb, sight obstruction, and vehicle position. Keep the report number and witness details. Nearby security cameras may show where the driver first entered the pedestrian path.
How we investigate the dispute
We review whether the driver looked before crossing the sidewalk and how visibility and speed affected the encounter. The pedestrian's route and any signal or marked crossing also matter. We compare statements with scene measurements and footage.
Injuries and losses
Preserve shoes and clothing and document treatment for fractures, head symptoms, or soft tissue injuries. Record work and mobility limits as they change.
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.
