California has a statutory period of two years for you to file your claim. However, the law grants exceptions, especially if you were a minor at the time of the accident, or if you were so badly injured that it was impossible for you to make the deadline in time.

Our attorneys can help you assemble the lawsuits and aggregate all the necessary paperwork, even if you’ve been temporarily or permanently disabled as a result of the accident.

Proof is crucial for determining the fault and the subsequent damages. Any photographs from the scene of the crime, as well as police reports and your medical bills can help you get the reimbursement you need.

Since California uses the pure comparative negligence model, you could be at fault even as a pedestrian. And if you take any part in liability, your compensation will be reduced. You can avoid this by booking a free consultation with our attorneys. They’ll assess your case and make sure you have all the proof that clears you of blame.

If you were in a hit and run accident, it can be hard to determine who the driver was. In that case, you should always try to remember or take a picture of the license plate. If that was impossible, you can still file a claim with your insurance company.

After filing a lawsuit and providing proof, you’ll reach the phase where you have to negotiate a settlement with the other party and their insurance company.

It’s extremely important to have seasoned lawyers experienced at resolving pedestrian accidents in California. They know the ins and outs of personal injury cases, and they can help you get fairly compensated.

Typically, you can get reimbursement for the following damages:

• Physical injury
• Emotional pain
• Lost wages

In some cases, you can also sue for punitive damages. However, you would have to prove that the party at fault acted with extreme (intentional) negligence.
