Common terms you may encounter when pursuing a pedestrian accident claim are explained here.
Negligence is the failure to exercise reasonable care, resulting in harm to another person.
Damages refer to compensation for medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering caused by the accident.

First, ensure your safety and seek medical attention. If you can, gather contact information from witnesses and take photos of the scene. Then contact our Oasis office for a no-pressure consultation to review your options. We will explain the next steps and help you understand potential outcomes. Next, we assess your medical needs and damages, document losses, and determine the best way to pursue compensation with care and clarity.
California follows a comparative fault rule, meaning your share of fault can reduce your recovery. We review police reports, witness statements, and medical records to assign fault accurately. If you are partially at fault, we explore strategies to protect your rights and maximize your recovery. We also evaluate insurance coverage and potential third-party sources of compensation.
You may recover medical expenses, lost wages, and non-economic damages like pain and suffering. Some cases also include future medical costs and loss of lifestyle components based on your situation. We help quantify these amounts for negotiations or trial.
In California, the general deadline is two years from the date of injury to file a personal injury claim, with some exceptions. Prompt action improves your options and potential outcomes. However, there are nuances, so speaking with a lawyer can help determine the timeline for your case.
Having a lawyer can simplify the process, improve negotiation outcomes, and ensure deadlines are met. We handle communications with insurers, gather evidence, and guide you through medical and legal decisions.
If the at-fault driver lacks coverage, you may have options through uninsured motorist coverage or other sources. We review policy terms and pursue all viable avenues to obtain compensation.
Pain and suffering are usually addressed through non-economic damages based on the impact on your life. Documentation such as medical notes, therapy records, and daily activity limitations helps support these claims.
Some settlements cover future medical needs, but this depends on the case and the settlement terms. We help model long-term medical costs to seek appropriate compensation.
Bring any police report, medical records, appointment notes, photos from the scene, and any communications with insurers. Having these documents helps us evaluate and advance your claim.
Most personal injury cases in California operate on a contingency fee basis. You typically pay nothing upfront, and fees are paid from a portion of any recovery agreed with you.
