No attorney is required, but having legal support often improves the value of a settlement. An attorney can negotiate with insurers, protect your rights, and guide you through documentation and deadlines.
California generally allows two years from the date of injury to file a personal injury claim. Some exceptions may apply, so it’s important to start a case early to avoid losing rights.
Costs can include court fees, expert consultations, and contingency-based legal fees. Many firms offer free initial consultations and work on a contingency basis, meaning fees are paid from a successful settlement or award.
Many pedestrian cases settle out of court, but some may proceed to trial if a fair settlement cannot be reached. Our team prepares thoroughly for either path to protect your interests.
Crosswalk fault often involves signal timing, pedestrian traffic rules, and driver attention. We gather witness statements, video where available, and accident reports to establish fault.
Bring any police or incident reports, medical records, proof of expenses, photos from the scene, and contact information for witnesses and responders.
Results vary by case complexity and evidence. We provide honest timelines and keep you informed about each milestone as your claim progresses.
