Most pedestrian accident claims in California involve prompt negotiations with the at fault party or insurer, followed by a potential filed civil claim if a fair settlement isn’t reached. Early collection of medical records, documentation of injuries, and witness statements help set expectations for timelines and outcomes. The exact duration depends on fault, injury severity, insurer cooperation, and court schedules. Starting with a free consultation, we review your injuries and potential damages to estimate a realistic timeline and strategy.

Fault is typically assessed through police reports, accident reconstruction if necessary, witness statements, and medical evidence. Establishing liability is key to pursuing damages for medical costs, wages, and other losses. Clear liability helps set expectations for settlement and potential court action.
Possible damages include medical bills, lost wages, property repair, and non economic damages for pain and suffering. In some cases, future medical costs and diminished quality of life are also recoverable. Your attorney helps quantify current and future losses to seek fair compensation.
Many personal injury cases are handled on contingency, meaning you pay nothing unless we recover your compensation. If there is no recovery, you typically owe nothing. This arrangement allows you to pursue your case without upfront fees while focusing on your recovery.
Bring any available medical records, police reports, photos from the scene, and a list of medical providers and treatments. Also include your contact information and a summary of how the injury has affected daily life. If you have a timeline of medical visits and work missed, share that to help assess damages.
