Definitions of common terms used in these guides.

California follows a comparative fault approach, meaning your recovery is reduced by your share of responsibility, but you can still recover. The amount depends on the fault assigned.
A legal obligation to act with reasonable care to prevent harm to others.
An agreement to resolve a case without a trial, often with payment for medical bills and other losses.
Options typically include pursuing a settlement with the at-fault party or insurer, filing a personal injury claim, or taking a case to court when needed.
If fault is straightforward and medical costs are modest, a direct settlement can be reached without a lengthy trial.
Detailed records, photos, and medical notes can support a confident settlement offer.
Injuries requiring ongoing treatment or substantial losses usually benefit from a full legal review.

Immediately after an accident, get to safety, call emergency services if needed, and obtain the other driver’s information and a police report. Seek medical evaluation even if you feel okay at first, as some injuries become apparent later. Contact a pedestrian accident attorney to review your case and explain your options.
In California, fault is assessed through evidence such as police reports, witness statements, and scene photos. The at-fault party’s insurer may try to assign some fault to you, but your attorney helps preserve your rights and pursue fair compensation based on your actual losses.
You don’t necessarily need a lawyer to file a claim, but having one can improve your chances of obtaining a fair settlement. A skilled attorney helps gather evidence, calculate damages, and negotiate with insurers.
Compensation can cover medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, rehabilitation, and in some cases future care. Non-economic damages may be available depending on the circumstances and evidence.
Many pedestrian crash cases settle before trial, but some require a court resolution. An attorney prepares for all outcomes and works to protect your interests throughout the process.
The timeline depends on case complexity, injuries, and insurance negotiations. Some cases settle in months, while others may take longer if litigation is necessary.
Many personal injury firms work on a contingency basis, meaning you pay nothing upfront and attorney fees come from any settlement or award. Confirm the arrangement with your attorney during the initial consultation.
While you can pursue a claim on your own, a lawyer can improve the odds of a fair outcome by handling evidence, deadlines, and negotiations with insurers.
