Fault in pedestrian cases often depends on driver behavior and traffic signals. We assess police reports, witness statements, and the scene to determine liability. California uses comparative negligence rules, so your recovery may be reduced if you share some fault.

While you can handle a claim on your own, having a lawyer helps navigate insurance negotiations and paperwork. We can protect your rights and maximize recovery.
Most pedestrian case representations are contingency-based, meaning you pay nothing upfront; a portion of the recovery is paid if you win. If there is no recovery, there may be no legal fees.
The typical process starts with a claim, then negotiations, and if needed, a lawsuit, discovery, and potentially trial. We guide you through each step.
Not every case goes to trial. Many are resolved through settlement, but we prepare to present your case in court if needed for the best result.
Timelines vary with injuries, evidence, and court schedules. Some cases resolve in months, others take longer depending on complexity and negotiations.
If you are partially at fault, you can still recover a portion of damages under California’s comparative negligence rules. We evaluate your degree of fault and pursue the best possible outcome.
