California generally gives you two years from the date of injury to file a claim. Beginning the process early can help preserve evidence and ensure timely protection of your rights.
You may be entitled to medical expenses, lost wages, rehabilitation costs, and compensation for pain and suffering, depending on the facts of the case.
While you can handle a claim yourself, having a lawyer can help avoid mistakes, interpret medical bills, and negotiate favorable settlements.
Fault is determined by investigating police reports, eye witnesses, traffic records, and scene evidence to establish responsibility.
Seek medical attention, document the scene, and contact a qualified attorney as soon as possible to preserve rights and evidence.
Take photos of the scene, injuries, crosswalks, signals, and any property damage. Gather witness contact information and police report numbers.
Medical expenses are typically covered through settlements, health insurance, or medical liens, depending on the case and arrangement with providers.
Many pedestrian accident claims settle out of court, but some cases proceed to litigation to protect rights and maximize recovery.
Attorney fees are often on a contingency basis, meaning you pay nothing upfront and fees are paid from a portion of the recovery if successful.
Resolution times vary; some cases settle within months, others require more time for medical treatment and expert evaluation.
