This glossary explains common terms you may see in a pedestrian accident case in California.
Fault refers to who was negligent or responsible for the crash. In California, liability may be shared under comparative negligence rules, which affect how damages are awarded.
Damages cover medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other losses resulting from the crash.
California follows pure comparative negligence rules, meaning your compensation may be reduced by your percentage of fault if you contributed to the accident.
Many pedestrian accident cases settle out of court, but a case may go to trial if a fair settlement cannot be reached and the evidence supports your claim.
Options include pursuing a settlement with the at fault driver’s insurer, filing a civil claim, or seeking mediation. Each path has benefits and risks depending on the specifics of your case.
If fault is clear, injuries are straightforward, and costs are predictable, a streamlined approach can help you recover efficiently.
