A pedestrian accident claim is a legal action to recover damages when a driver’s negligence leads to harm to a pedestrian.
Key elements include proving negligence, showing damages, and following a process from consultation and evidence gathering to settlement or litigation.
This glossary defines common terms you may hear during your case.
Negligence means failing to exercise reasonable care, which causes an injury.
California uses pure comparative fault: your recovery is reduced by your percentage of fault.
Damages are the financial and nonfinancial losses you may recover, including medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
In California, most personal injury claims must be filed within two years of the injury.
Possible paths include negotiated settlements, mediation, or filing a lawsuit. We review options and advise on the best path for your Cayucos case.

Fault is typically determined through police reports, eyewitness accounts, and evidence from the scene. We review the scene, reconstruct the crash, and gather supporting documentation.
There is often no upfront fee in many cases; we work on a contingent basis, meaning we receive a fee only if you recover. If you do not win, you typically owe nothing.
If the driver lacks insurance, you may still have options through uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage or other assets. We explore all avenues to maximize your recovery.
