Fault in pedestrian crashes is often based on driver behavior, traffic signals, and visibility. We analyze police reports, surveillance video, and witness statements to determine liability. California follows fault rules that affect how damages are awarded, and we guide you through those rules.
In California, the statute of limitations for personal injury claims is generally two years from the date of injury. Exceptions can apply, so it’s important to start your claim soon. The sooner you begin, the better your ability to preserve evidence.
You may recover medical expenses, lost wages, rehabilitation costs, property damage, and non-economic damages such as pain and suffering. The amount depends on the severity of injuries, impact on daily life, and future care needs. We help quantify both current and future losses.
While you can file a claim on your own, a pedestrian accident attorney can help navigate complex evidence, insurance tactics, and legal deadlines. An attorney increases the likelihood of a favorable settlement or recovery.
Most personal injury lawyers work on a contingency fee, meaning you pay nothing upfront and fees are paid from a portion of any settlement or verdict. If there is no recovery, there is typically no fee. We discuss costs up front during the initial consultation.
The settlement process involves demand letters, negotiations, and sometimes mediation. We prepare a strong demand package, communicate with insurers, and aim for a resolution that reflects your losses. If a fair settlement cannot be reached, we may file a lawsuit and proceed to trial.
Many pedestrian cases settle before trial, but some do go to court. We prepare for trial from the start so you have the strongest possible case, and we present evidence and arguments clearly to obtain a fair judgment if needed.
Bring any police reports, medical records, proof of injuries, photos from the scene, witness contact information, and details about time missed from work. If you don’t have everything, bring what you do have and we will guide you.
