Many Californians are understandably confused about jaywalking laws. Why? Because jaywalking is sometimes legal and sometimes not, depending on the configuration of the street, the markings on the road and the city in which the jaywalking or alleged jaywalking occurred.
Because of this confusion, accident victims who were struck by a vehicle while jaywalking or allegedly jaywalking are sometimes reluctant to pursue a claim for damages.
San Diego Jaywalking Accident Attorneys
San Diego jaywalking accident lawyers Oliver Pelly and John Phillips of the downtown law firm of Phillips & Pelly encourage you to contact our office at 858-345-5929 for answers following a jaywalking accident.

- You might not have actually been jaywalking at the time of the accident (as defined by local law and the circumstances of your incident)
- The vehicle driver may be liable whether or not you were jaywalking, because he or she might have negligently failed to avoid an accident
