First, ensure you are safe and call for medical help if needed. Then contact a local pedestrian accident attorney to review your options and next steps. Keep a record of all medical visits, police reports, and any correspondence with insurance companies. These details will support your claim and help protect your rights.
In California, most claims must be filed within two years of the date of injury. Some cases involve different deadlines, so a timely consultation helps determine the exact timeline for your situation. Missing a deadline can limit your recovery, so prompt legal advice is important.
Damages in pedestrian cases typically include medical bills, rehabilitation costs, lost wages, and pain and suffering. In some cases, you may also claim future medical needs and reduced earning capacity. Punitive damages are uncommon in most pedestrian accident claims.
Yes. A lawyer can explain your options, negotiate with insurers, and prepare for litigation if a fair settlement isn’t reached. Having guidance from someone who knows local procedures can improve your chances of a favorable outcome.
Fault is determined through evidence such as traffic laws, police reports, eyewitness statements, and physical evidence at the scene. California uses comparative fault rules to adjust recovery based on each party’s degree of responsibility.
If the at-fault driver lacks insurance, you may still pursue compensation through your own uninsured motorist coverage or, in some cases, city or property owner liability. An attorney can help identify available options and next steps.
Most pedestrian accident cases are handled on a contingency basis, meaning you pay nothing upfront and only pay a fee if we recover compensation. You may also receive a free initial consultation to review your case.
