In California, you generally have two years from the date of injury to file a personal injury claim, though exceptions can apply. It’s important to start your claim sooner rather than later to preserve evidence and avoid missing deadlines. If you’ve lost a loved one in a pedestrian accident, different rules apply for wrongful death claims.
You may be eligible for medical expenses, lost wages, rehabilitation costs, pain and suffering, and in some cases punitive damages. Our team helps identify all potential sources of compensation and documents them thoroughly.

Fault is determined by reviewing police reports, witness statements, signage, and driving behavior at the scene. Comparative fault rules may reduce your compensation if you share some responsibility.
Bring any police reports, medical records, photos from the scene, witness contact information, insurance details, and a timeline of events.
Some cases settle without going to trial, but complex cases or disputes may require court proceedings to obtain full compensation.
Medical bills are typically paid from your settlement or award. We work to ensure you are reimbursed for past and future medical costs as part of the compensation.
California uses comparative fault rules. You may still recover if you are partially at fault, but your recovery may be reduced by your percentage of fault.
If multiple vehicles or parties contributed to the crash, liability may be shared. Our team investigates all angles to identify responsible parties.
Timelines vary by case, but most pedestrian injury claims resolve within months to a few years, depending on complexity and court schedules.
