Frequently Asked Questions

What should I do immediately after a pedestrian accident in South Pasadena?

Start by calling or emailing to arrange a free consultation. We will review the facts, discuss possible options, and explain your rights. If we take your case, there are no upfront fees in many situations.

Fault in pedestrian crashes is typically determined by driver negligence or failure to yield. We gather evidence like police reports, witness statements, and medical records to establish liability. Some cases involve multiple parties with shared responsibility.

You may recover medical expenses, lost wages, reduced earning capacity, and non-economic damages for pain and suffering. The amount depends on injuries and impact on life. We explain potential limits and negotiating options.

In many cases, you pay nothing upfront. We work on contingency, meaning fees are paid from a successful settlement or verdict.

Case timelines vary, but most pedestrian claims resolve within several months to a few years, depending on complexity and court schedules.

Yes. You typically may file with your own insurer for medical coverage or no-fault benefits while pursuing a claim against the driver. We guide you through the process.

While many cases settle out of court, some move to trial if a fair settlement cannot be reached. We prepare for either outcome.

Medical costs, future treatment, and lost income influence the total. We seek compensation for all verifiable losses and reasonable future care.

If the at-fault driver lacks insurance, we explore available uninsured motorist coverage and other sources of compensation.

To start, contact us for a free consultation. We will review your case, explain options, and outline the next steps.
