When You’ve Been Hit, You Deserve to Be Heard—Not Blamed.
Pedestrians have the right to feel safe on sidewalks, in crosswalks, and near traffic. But when drivers are careless or distracted, it’s pedestrians who suffer the most. If you or a loved one was struck by a vehicle, you may be facing serious injuries, medical bills, and uncertainty about what to do next.
At The Law Office of Johann Hall, we stand up for injured pedestrians with compassion and resolve. Based in Santa Rosa and serving clients throughout Northern California, Johann Hall is here to protect your rights and fight for the compensation you deserve.

Frequently Asked Questions
About Pedestrian Accidents
Do I need a police report to file a pedestrian injury claim?
While not required, a police report can greatly strengthen your case. It provides key documentation and may help prove liability.
What if I was partially at fault?
California follows a comparative fault system. You may still be able to recover compensation, though your damages might be reduced by your share of responsibility.
Is jaywalking always considered my fault?
Not necessarily. Every case is fact-specific. Even if you were jaywalking, drivers still have a duty to avoid collisions when reasonably possible.
How long do I have to file a claim?
In most pedestrian accident cases, the deadline is two years from the date of the accident. Claims involving public entities may need to be filed within six months.
What if the driver fled the scene?
Hit-and-run pedestrian cases can be complex but not hopeless. We’ll explore all recovery options, including uninsured motorist coverage or other liable parties.
