What Rights Do Pedestrians Have in California Crosswalk Accidents?In California, pedestrians generally have the right of way in crosswalks, and drivers are expected to exercise reasonable care while operating their vehicles. If a driver fails to yield to a pedestrian in a crosswalk or is otherwise negligent, such as by speeding or driving distracted, they may be held liable for any resulting injuries or damages. Pedestrians should always be vigilant, but in the event of an accident, they are protected by laws designed to prioritize their safety on the roads.

MacDonald v. Pescarias Del Pacifico (San Diego, California)$1.25 million recovery following the crash of a helicopter on a Mexican tuna boat. Our client was the pilot in command of a helicopter that was being delivered to a Mexican tuna boat to conduct fish spotting operations. As our client was attempting to land the helicopter onto the flight deck on top of the pilot house, one of the crew members of the boat caused the arm of a crane on the boat to interfere with the path of the helicopter rotor blades. The entire blade assembly broke off the helicopter and churned through the bell housing of the helicopter cockpit causing our client to suffer severe brain and spinal cord injuries. The vessel attempted to escape U.S. jurisdiction, but Mr. Zalkin was eventually able to obtain a recovery for our client after suing the vessel and its owners.
