While you can handle some minor claims on your own, having an attorney helps ensure liability is clearly established and damages are fully pursued. A professional can negotiate with insurers and manage the legal steps.
Bring documentation of the injury, police or incident reports, medical records, a list of expenses, and any questions you have about the case. If you have photographs or witness contact information, bring those as well.
Liability in pedestrian crashes is often based on fault at the scene and evidence such as police reports, witness statements, and traffic citations. We assess all factors to determine how liability should be attributed.
Some cases resolve through settlement, but others go to trial if a fair agreement cannot be reached. We prepare thoroughly for either outcome.
In California, most personal injury cases are handled on a contingency fee basis, meaning you do not pay unless we win compensation for you. Fees are typically a percentage of the recovery and are agreed upon upfront.
If you are partially at fault, you may still recover a portion of damages. California uses comparative negligence rules, which reduce your award by your percentage of fault.
The timeline depends on case complexity, court calendars, and negotiations. Some cases resolve in a few months, while others take longer, especially if trial is involved.
