These crashes frequently result in broken bones, brain injuries, spinal trauma, or even wrongful death.

HOW WE WORK

Frequently Asked Questions About

Pedestrian Accident Claims.

Injured pedestrians have the right to seek justice. Here are some common questions we receive from clients in California:

  • Who is at fault in a pedestrian accident?

    While drivers are often at fault, every situation is unique. We gather crash reports, video footage, and witness statements to establish liability and protect your right to compensation.

  • What if I was outside of a crosswalk when I was hit?

    You may still have a valid claim. California’s comparative fault laws allow injured pedestrians to recover damages—even if they were partially at fault.

  • What damages can I recover?

    You may be entitled to compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, future treatment, and long-term care needs. We help you understand what your case may be worth.

  • What should I do immediately after the accident?

    Call 911, seek medical attention, and if possible, document the scene. Get contact info from the driver and any witnesses. Then, speak with an attorney before contacting insurance companies.

  • How much will it cost to hire your firm?

    We work on a contingency fee basis, meaning you pay nothing upfront. You only pay if we win compensation on your behalf.
