A pedestrian accident claim seeks compensation for injuries caused by a driver or vehicle crash, including medical bills, lost income, and pain and suffering.
Proving fault, establishing causation, documenting damages, and negotiating settlements or pursuing a lawsuit are core parts of most cases.
This glossary defines common terms used in pedestrian accident cases to help you understand the legal process.
Fault refers to who is legally responsible for causing the crash and injuries.
Damages are the financial awards that cover medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
Insurance coverage in pedestrian cases may include auto liability, medical payments, and uninsured/underinsured motorist protections.
In California, most personal injury claims must be filed within two years of the injury date, with exceptions.

First, stay at the scene and call for help if you can do so safely. Then seek medical attention and document every detail. When you meet with us, bring any police reports, medical bills, and witness contact information to help build your claim.
California allows a statute of limitations for personal injury claims of two years, with some exceptions. If a government agency is involved or if the injury is discovered later, the timeline can vary. Consulting an attorney early helps ensure you meet all deadlines.
Possible compensation includes medical expenses, lost wages, reduced earning capacity, and pain and suffering. Some cases also recover costs for rehabilitation, travel, and out-of-pocket expenses.
Having a lawyer helps you understand options, manage communications with insurers, and pursue the best path to a fair settlement or trial.
Case duration depends on complexity, but many pedestrian injury cases resolve within several months to a year, while others take longer if disputes arise.
Most cases settle out of court, but some proceed to trial when a fair agreement cannot be reached.
Fault is determined through review of crash reports, witness statements, and expert analysis to establish liability.
Lawyer fees are typically contingent, meaning you pay nothing upfront and receive payment from a portion of any settlement or award.
We maintain regular updates through calls and emails, and you can contact us with questions at any time during the process.
A settlement typically covers medical expenses, lost wages, and non-economic damages like pain and suffering, as well as ongoing care costs if needed.
