In California, most personal injury claims must be filed within two years of the injury. Some exceptions may apply based on the situation and involved parties. It is important to consult with an attorney promptly to determine deadlines and preserve your rights.
While you are not required to hire a lawyer, having one can help protect your rights, gather evidence, and navigate insurance and medical needs. A lawyer can evaluate damages, negotiate with insurers, and pursue the best possible outcome for you.
Bring photos from the scene, the police report, medical records, and any correspondence with insurers. A list of injuries, doctors, and time off work also helps the attorney assess your claim.
Fault is typically based on driver negligence, traffic laws, and available evidence such as witness statements and surveillance. California uses comparative negligence, which can adjust recovery if you share some fault.
Many pedestrian accident claims settle out of court, but some cases proceed to trial if needed. Thorough preparation helps maximize the chances of a favorable resolution.
Many firms work on a contingency basis, meaning fees are a percentage of the recovery. Fees are typically discussed upfront during the initial consultation.
We handle pedestrian accident claims across California and can coordinate with local counsel as needed. We review your case and pursue compensation from the responsible parties.
California follows comparative negligence, so you may still recover some compensation. The amount may be reduced by your portion of fault.
Resolution time varies with case complexity, injuries, and insurer responsiveness. Prompt investigation and strong negotiation can lead to quicker results.
