In California, you typically have two years from the date of the injury to file a personal injury claim, with certain exceptions based on the specifics of your case. If you were a minor or if government agencies are involved, timelines may vary, so prompt consultation is advised.

Fault in California is determined by assessing driver negligence, right of way, traffic signals, and witness statements. Comparative negligence rules may adjust your recovery if you share some responsibility for the incident.
Many pedestrian cases settle out of court, but some may go to trial if a fair agreement cannot be reached or if the case involves complex liability.
Many pedestrian accident attorneys work on a contingency basis, meaning you pay nothing upfront and legal fees come from a portion of any settlement or verdict.
Resolution time varies by case. Minor injuries may resolve in weeks to months, while more serious injuries or disputed liability can take longer, sometimes over a year.
California uses comparative negligence. You can still recover if your fault is not greater than the other party’s, though your recovery may be reduced proportionally.
