Pedestrian claims involve liability, insurance coverage, medical expenses, and the impact on daily life. Determining fault can require reviewing traffic cameras, witness statements, and vehicle records.
We guide you through the process, from collecting evidence to negotiating settlements or pursuing a court case if necessary.
A pedestrian injury claim is a legal action to recover compensation when a pedestrian is hurt due to someone else’s negligence, such as a driver who fails to yield, runs a red light, or drives distracted.
Key elements include establishing fault, documenting injuries, calculating economic and non-economic damages, and following California statutes of limitations. The process typically involves evidence gathering, insurance negotiations, and, if needed, litigation.
These definitions help you understand the common terms used in your case.
Liability means the party responsible for causing the crash bears financial responsibility for damages.
Damages refer to money recovered for medical bills, rehabilitation, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
In California, fault may be shared. Your compensation is reduced by your percentage of fault; if you are mostly not at fault, you can still recover.
California generally allows two years to file a personal injury claim, with some exceptions.
You may settle with an insurer, pursue a settlement through negotiation, or file a civil lawsuit. Each option has risks and timelines; we help you choose the best path.
In straightforward cases with solid medical records and clear liability, a direct negotiation can yield a fair settlement without a lengthy suit.
When liability is evident and damages are documented, quick negotiations may suffice.
We prepare strong evidence, preserve rights, and stand ready for court if settlement can’t be reached.

After a pedestrian accident, seek medical care immediately and call the police. If possible, gather witness contact information and take photos of the scene and injuries. Then contact a pedestrian injury attorney to review your rights and preserve evidence before insurers begin their investigation.
