    According to the Los Angeles Police Department, the car was moving westward on Scott Avenue and turning onto Glendale Boulevard. Police stated that the driver, who exhibited no impairment, halted to assist Valdivia and cooperated with the investigation.

    After the incident, paramedics transported Valdivia to a hospital, where she passed away three days later. Valdivia, co-founder and owner of the Silver Lake-based Tacos Delta restaurant leaves behind her husband Sergio, their four children, 14 grandchildren, and one great-grandson.

    A post on the restaurant’s Instagram page depicted Valdivia as a loving family woman and a passionate restaurateur. According to the post, she treated Tacos Delta as a second home, welcomed her customers with a warm smile, and always aimed to create a familial atmosphere. Valdivia’s daughter, Irma Gonzalez, disclosed to The Eastsider that her mother had recently left their dog at a groomer, and the family was planning a trip to Valdivia’s hometown in Mexico.

    Liability In Los Angeles Pedestrian Accidents

    Thousands of pedestrians are killed or seriously injured every year in pedestrian accidents. According to the Centers for Disease Control, “An estimated 137,000 pedestrians were treated in emergency departments for nonfatal crash-related injuries in 2017. Per trip, pedestrians are 1.5 times more likely than passenger vehicle occupants to be killed in a car crash.” There are a number of factors that could lead to a pedestrian collision including:

    • Speeding
    • Drunk driving
    • Driver distraction
    • Inclement weather

    All drivers have a legal obligation to exercise due care in order to avoid hitting pedestrians. The family of any victim that died in a pedestrian collision may have legal recourse through a wrongful death claim. Damages in a civil claim can help cover lost wages, medical bills and pain and suffering. A wrongful death attorney can examine all of the facts of your case and let you know what your legal options are.
