In California, fault is determined based on evidence and standards of negligence. Comparative negligence may reduce recovery if you share responsibility. A lawyer helps preserve evidence and present a clear fault case.
Many pedestrian cases settle without going to court. If a fair agreement cannot be reached, we prepare for litigation and pursue the best available outcome.
Timeline varies with injury severity and evidence. Some cases resolve in months, others take longer. We monitor deadlines and keep you informed throughout.
Possible compensation includes medical costs, lost wages, rehabilitation, and pain and suffering. Future medical needs and long term impacts may also be recovered.
Having a lawyer is beneficial for navigating California law and dealing with insurance. Most cases operate on a contingency basis, so you pay nothing upfront.
If the other driver lacks insurance, you may rely on your own uninsured motorist coverage or pursue other liable parties. We evaluate all options.
California uses a form of comparative negligence. You can still recover if your share of fault is below a certain threshold, but your award may be reduced.
A contingency-fee agreement means you pay a percentage of any recovery. If there is no recovery, you owe nothing for our services.
