Pedestrian Hit in Arden-Arcade Area of Sacramento

Pedestrian Hit in Arden-Arcade Area of Sacramento

On Thursday afternoon, June 26, 2025, a pedestrian hit in Arden-Arcade area of Sacramento County, according to California Highway Patrol logs. The incident occurred at the intersection of Hurley Way and Howe Avenue, prompting a CHP dispatch around 1:40 p.m. While details surrounding the cause of the crash remain unclear, reports indicate that minor injuries were sustained.

Safety Tip: Stay Alert in Busy Intersections

Pedestrian safety begins with awareness—from both drivers and walkers. Intersections like Hurley and Howe are often high-risk zones due to turning vehicles, distracted driving, and limited visibility. Pedestrians should use crosswalks, avoid distractions, and make eye contact with drivers before crossing. Drivers must slow down in pedestrian zones and remain vigilant, especially during afternoon traffic when visibility can be compromised by glare or congestion.

Your Rights After a Pedestrian Accident

Pedestrian accidents often result in significant physical, emotional, and financial consequences. When a negligent driver is to blame, victims have the legal right to seek compensation. This may include coverage for emergency medical treatment, ongoing care, missed time at work, and the lasting impact of pain and suffering. Insurance companies often try to settle quickly and cheaply—but these early offers rarely reflect the true extent of the damages.

Why Legal Representation Is Critical

Working with an experienced personal injury attorney ensures that your rights are protected from the start. A skilled legal team will thoroughly investigate the scene, preserve evidence like surveillance footage or witness accounts, and handle all insurer negotiations. Most importantly, they will advocate fiercely for a settlement or verdict that reflects the full scope of your losses—now and in the future.
