Pedestrian injury claims arise when a walker is harmed due to another party’s negligence—such as distracted driving, failure to yield, or unsafe crosswalk conditions.
A claim seeks compensation for medical expenses, rehabilitation, lost wages, and the effect of injuries on daily life.
A pedestrian accident claim is a civil process to recover damages from liable parties after a collision. It is separate from criminal cases and focuses on compensation for injuries and losses.
Key elements include establishing fault, proving injuries, calculating losses, and meeting deadlines. The process typically begins with a consultation, investigation, demand for settlement, or filing a lawsuit if needed.
Glossary terms help you understand common phrases used in pedestrian injury cases.
Negligence means failing to exercise the care a reasonable person would under similar circumstances, which can lead to injuries in a crash.
California follows pure comparative negligence: you may recover damages proportionate to your fault, if any.
Duty of care is the obligation to exercise reasonable caution to prevent harm to others; drivers and pedestrians share this duty on streets and sidewalks.
Damages refer to medical costs, time away from work, and non-economic harms such as pain and suffering resulting from the crash.
Options include handling an insurance claim alone, negotiating with a lawyer, or pursuing a lawsuit. An attorney can assess fault, gather evidence, and advocate for a fair settlement.
