In California, a pedestrian collision claim seeks to hold the at-fault driver or responsible party financially accountable for injuries and damages arising from a crash.
Key elements include establishing liability, calculating damages, pursuing insurance claims, and, if needed, filing a civil lawsuit and advocating for you through settlement or trial.
Familiarize yourself with common terms used in pedestrian accident cases, from negligence to statutes of limitations, to help you understand every step of your claim.
A failure to exercise reasonable care, which leads to injury or damage.
Monetary compensation for medical bills, lost wages, property damage, and pain and suffering.
California uses a comparative fault system, so your recovery may be reduced by your percentage of fault.
Most personal injury claims must be filed within two years of the injury in California, with some exceptions.
You can pursue direct settlements through insurers, participate in mediation, or file a lawsuit. We help you choose the path that best fits your injuries and goals.

In California, you typically have two years from the date of injury to file a personal injury claim. If a government entity caused or contributed to your wreck, deadlines may differ and require prompt legal review.
Possible compensation includes medical expenses, lost wages, property damage, and pain and suffering. The exact amount depends on the severity of injuries and impact on your life.
Many pedestrian cases settle without a trial, but some may proceed to court if a fair settlement can’t be reached. We prepare for both outcomes and keep you informed.
For minor accidents, you may still benefit from a consultation to protect your rights and ensure accurate documentation and future medical coverage.
Fault is determined by reviewing police reports, witness statements, and evidence such as video footage and skid marks. Comparative negligence rules may adjust your recovery.
Bring the accident report, medical records, treatment notes, receipts, and any photos or videos of the scene to your first meeting.
