Fault is evaluated using police reports, witness statements, surveillance, and driver behavior at the time of the crash. In California, liability can be shared under comparative fault rules, which may affect the amount you can recover.
You may recover medical costs, lost wages, rehabilitation, and non-economic damages like pain and suffering. A lawyer can help quantify these losses and pursue appropriate compensation from liable parties or their insurers.
Case duration varies by complexity, evidence, and cooperation from involved parties. Some cases settle in months, while others may take longer if a lawsuit is filed and goes to trial.
While you can file on your own, having a lawyer helps with evidence gathering, negotiation, and navigating California’s legal process to pursue fair compensation.
Most personal injury cases work on a contingency basis, meaning you pay nothing upfront; fees are typically a percentage of the recovery. There may be costs for filing and expert consultations.
Many pedestrian claims settle before trial, but some cases proceed to court if a fair settlement cannot be reached.
Losses are proven with medical records, bills, wage statements, and documentation of out-of-pocket costs. Expert opinions can help quantify long-term impacts.
If the at-fault driver is uninsured, you may still pursue compensation through uninsured motorist coverage or other liable parties, depending on the facts of the case.
