First, seek medical attention immediately. Prompt care is important for your health and helps document injuries for your claim. Second, contact the police, preserve evidence, collect witness information, and reach out to a pedestrian accident attorney to review options and next steps.
In California, most personal injury claims must be filed within two years of the injury, with some exceptions for minors or government claims. To protect your rights and preserve possible remedies, it’s best to consult an attorney as soon as practical after a crash.
You can file a claim without a lawyer, but a lawyer helps navigate deadlines, damages, and settlement strategies. A lawyer can also manage communications with insurers and help you understand the options available for your situation.
Fault may be based on driver negligence, crosswalk laws, traffic signals, and CCTV or witness evidence. California uses a comparative negligence rule, which may reduce your compensation if you share some fault.
Possible recoveries include medical bills, lost wages, rehabilitation costs, and non-economic damages for pain and suffering. The exact amount depends on the specifics of your case and the impact on your life.
Many pedestrian claims are pursued on a contingency fee basis; you typically pay nothing upfront. If there is a recovery, legal fees are paid from that amount. Initial consultations are often free.
If the other driver lacks insurance, you may pursue uninsured motorist coverage or other sources through your own policy or applicable relief options. We review your policy to identify available avenues.
Settling can be faster and less stressful, but may yield less than a trial. A thorough evaluation helps you decide whether to settle or proceed to litigation with a solid strategy.
