Frequently Asked Questions
What if I was crossing outside a crosswalk?
You may still recover. California uses pure comparative negligence, so even if you were partly at fault your compensation is reduced by your share rather than eliminated.
Who pays my medical bills after a pedestrian accident?
Often the at-fault driver's insurance, and your own coverage may also apply. We help coordinate payment so you can focus on healing.
How long do I have to file a pedestrian accident claim?
Generally two years in California, and as little as six months if a government entity is responsible. Talk to a lawyer early.
