California follows comparative negligence, which means your recovery may be reduced if you share some fault for the crash, but you can still obtain compensation.
Liability in pedestrian claims usually rests with the driver or vehicle owner, and may involve other parties if road hazards contributed to the crash.
Damages cover medical bills, rehabilitation costs, lost income, and pain and suffering.
Many cases settle through negotiations, while others proceed to court where a judge or jury decides the outcome.

California uses comparative negligence, so your recovery may be reduced if you share fault. We assess liability carefully and advocate for the maximum fair award based on your role in the crash.
Medical bills are typically handled through the liability carrier, liens, or your health insurance, depending on the case. We coordinate medical cost management as the claim progresses.
Bring any police report, medical records, photos from the scene, witness contact information, and a list of expenses and time missed from work. If you’re unsure, bring what you have and we will guide you.
