She was about to cross the street(already half way) when there suddenly a car showed up unexpectedly from around the corner. The speed was too fast for her to react before she was bumped 3 meters away with head heavily hitting the ground and she lost consciousness at once. The driver was Asian look and got off the car after the accident. Since no effective witness was found for the driving speed of the driver, the police cannot judge who should be respondible for.

如果是横穿马路不是斑马线的话,目击证人作用不大,因为肉眼是无法辨别具体时速的...

如果是斑马线,有目击证人对你作用极大,律师的问题 ,我看先把伤情确定,然后再去follow up

最好找律师。收contingency fee,就是按比例从赔偿金额收取律师费。

无奈, 看看下面是今年6月份发生在美国的车祸, 好像司机没有责任..

行人路权优先 驾驶绝对礼让

网上找到这篇文章:

[记者付菁菁亚凯迪亚报导] 裔聚集的圣盖博谷,偶有华人过马路不幸被车撞的交通事故,责任究竟该如何划分?华裔律师指出,行人路权优先,驾驶人须在「任何情况」下,均应礼让行人。

行人路权是指行人使用道路、优先通行,车辆不得侵占或行驶于行人专用道。加州交通法V C 21950条规定,加州每一位驾驶人使用道路时,若发现行人在十字路口使用行人穿越道(crosswalk)或以其它方式划出的区域行走时,都应把使用道路优先权让给行人。

专精车祸案件的纽曼律师事务所经理黄妙蓉表示,当有行人准备在十字路口过马路时,驾驶人须耐心等到行人从马路的一边完全走到马路另一边的路阶(curb)上,驾驶人才可继续开车,即使驾驶人车后可能有另一部车主不耐烦地按喇叭,驾驶人也不应心急而违法。

黄妙蓉说,驾驶人须在任何情况下礼让行人,不论行人在有标志或无标志的行人穿越道上行走,或在无红绿灯的十字路口过马路,都要注意来往行人。

黄妙蓉也指出,交通规则对行人也有相关规定,行人不应突然在没有行人穿越道、或禁止通行的地方强行穿越马路,也不应无故在马路中间停下不走,妨碍交通。

如果有人因乱穿马路被撞,或在行人指示灯亮红灯时过马路,究竟是汽车应让行人,或行人应避汽车呢?如果有行人被撞,是谁的错?

华裔律师张军表示,根据交通规则,驾驶人须在任何情况下礼让行人,但若真出了事故追究责任,须视具体情况分析,如行人未按交通规则行事,一旦发生意外,且撞死人,警方一般不会按刑事罪起诉驾驶人。但若确实是驾驶人过错,例如有驾驶人超速,看到行人横穿马路时硬开过去等,则有可能按刑事罪起诉,包括故意杀人罪。

张军表示,要证明行人过马路时是否闯红灯,究实有一定困难,因为当事人或目击者不一定有照相机或摄录机拍摄事发经过,多数城市也未在十字路口安装监视系统。通常车祸撞死人现场,警方会在现场进行搜证调查,整理完报告后上交洛杉矶检察官办公室,决定是否或如何起诉。

张军说,如果驾驶人否认有过失而指控行人违规造成事故,则需要证人及其它证据,例如当时车速及事故发生的具体方位等。即使检方不起诉,受害人家属还是可找有执照的律师打民事赔偿。

张军提醒,驾驶人和行人在夜间要格外小心,不熟悉路况加上夜间照明不佳,看起来平常的道路,在缺乏灯光的夜里潜藏各种危机,驾驶人更应减速慢行。

从楼主的描述,猜测大概不是过斑马线,因为如果是过斑马线给撞上,底气不会这么不足。。。如果是不是,ICBC多半不会认定是开车人的过错...
希望你同学是过斑马线,这样,只要找到目击证人,多半是开车者的问题,可以找律师跟进了
