Woman Struck By Salinas Transit Bus

Our pedestrian safety lawyers represented a 66-year-old Monterey resident struck while crossing a downtown Salinas street in a marked crosswalk. The bus driver originally claimed that the injured plaintiff “darted out” in front of him. Walkup’s legal team proved (using exterior camera footage) that the pedestrian was almost two-thirds of the way across the street when she was struck. Our client sustained a serious closed head injury that produced personality changes and required her to employ a caretaker.
