Justice for Pedestrians Begins Here
At the Steinfeld Law Firm, we exclusively represent families in wrongful death claims. For over 35 years, we’ve been a powerful voice for those whose loved ones were killed in pedestrian accidents. If you lost someone in a pedestrian collision, even if they were crossing mid-block, jaywalking, or not in a crosswalk... you may still have a valid claim.
Fatal Pedestrian Accidents Are Different
Most pedestrian fatalities occur at night. Drivers often claim they “didn’t see” the pedestrian until it was too late. But that doesn’t excuse their actions and it doesn’t mean you don’t have a case.
That’s where we come in. We use science and physics to expose the truth. By calculating visibility, braking distance, and stopping time, we determine whether the driver could have avoided the crash. Then we apply those facts to California safety laws to determine if the driver was going too fast for conditions or failed to exercise due care, even if your loved one crossed illegally.
We’ve recovered compensation in difficult and complex cases, including:
- A pedestrian struck and killed while walking on a major freeway at 3:30 a.m.
- A homeless man who passed out in an alleyway and was run over by a delivery truck
No lawsuit was required in either case. Every situation is unique but don’t assume you have no case. Call us and we’ll evaluate it for free.

How We Win Pedestrian Accident Cases
We don’t rely on assumptions... we rely on science:
- We reconstruct time–distance formulas based on headlight illumination
- We analyze how long the driver had to stop or avoid the pedestrian
- We compare our results to CVC safety standards and expert witness testimony
- We prove whether the driver’s speed or inattention endangered your loved one’s life
You Don't Have to Fight Alone
We understand the emotional toll a fatal accident takes on surviving families. That’s why we handle everything from dealing with insurance companies to investigating the crash to pursuing full compensation for your loss.
In most cases, we’re able to reach a settlement without filing a lawsuit.
Let Us Be Your Champions for Justice
Every pedestrian wrongful death case is personal and we fight each one with heart and honor. If your loved one was struck and killed by a vehicle, don’t assume the driver was free of fault.
