This glossary explains common terms you may hear during a pedestrian accident claim.
Liability means legal responsibility for damages caused by another party’s actions or negligence.
Damages are the financial and non‑financial losses recoverable through a claim, including medical costs, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
Comparative negligence means a plaintiff’s recovery is reduced by their own percentage of fault for the accident.
Medical expenses are costs for treatment, hospital care, rehabilitation, and related services caused by the accident.
You may pursue a settlement with an insurer, file a personal injury lawsuit, or explore alternatives with your attorney. We help you understand the options and their potential outcomes.

In California, you typically have two years from the date of injury to file a personal injury lawsuit. Some claims have shorter or longer deadlines, so it’s important to start with a consultation to determine the right timeline.
You may recover medical expenses, wage loss, property damage, and non economic damages like pain and suffering. Depending on the case, you may also pursue future care costs.
Having an attorney can help ensure your rights are protected and the value of your claim is maximized, especially when dealing with insurance companies and complex medical issues.
Fault is assessed through police reports, witness statements, and review of available video or other evidence. Each case is evaluated on its own facts and applicable laws.
If the at fault driver lacks insurance, we review options such as uninsured motorist coverage and other sources of recovery.
Many pedestrian accident claims settle before trial, but we prepare for litigation to protect your rights if a fair settlement cannot be reached.
Medical bills and related expenses are documented in your claim and may be paid as part of settlement or through medical lien arrangements as appropriate.
Case timelines vary with factors like injuries, insurance handling, and court schedules. Most claims progress over months, with some taking longer for complex injuries.
