Pedestrian claims involve assessing fault, potential shared liability, and the types of damages recoverable under California law.

This glossary explains common terms used in these cases, such as liability, damages, negligence, and statute of limitations.

Monetary compensation for medical bills, recovery costs, lost wages, and pain and suffering.

The amount you receive depends on medical bills, lost income, and non economic losses. We assess your damages and pursue a fair settlement or a court award based on the facts.
While not required, having a lawyer can help protect your rights, gather evidence, and manage negotiations with insurers.
In California, most personal injury claims must be filed within two years of the injury. Some cases have shorter or longer deadlines depending on the circumstances.
Damages may include medical expenses, lost wages, loss of earning capacity, pain and suffering, and, in some cases, punitive damages.
Many cases settle before trial, but some proceed to court if a fair settlement cannot be reached.
Fault is determined through police reports, witness statements, traffic camera footage, and expert analysis when necessary.
Do not speak with the at fault driver’s insurer without guidance. A lawyer can help protect your claim and avoid statements that could hurt your case.
