If you have been involved in a pedestrian accident and suffered significant injuries, it can be an incredibly distressing experience.

It is worth noting that the severity and type of injuries sustained in a pedestrian accident can vary depending on several factors, including the speed and force of the vehicle, the location of impact, and the age and physical condition of the pedestrian.
Under the civil legal system, you have the right to seek financial compensation for injuries and damages resulting from the pedestrian accident, both in the past and in the future. However, proving such damages may require expert testimonies from medical professionals, which can be expensive. Damages that can be claimed in such cases typically encompass the following items and categories:

Certainly. Our top priority is to help you recover from your injuries. To achieve this, we have established partnerships and affiliations with reputable physicians, medical providers, and facilities that will provide you with treatment and care on a lien basis. This means that you will reimburse them from the settlement proceeds of your pedestrian accident case, so you don’t have to worry about paying out of pocket for medical expenses. Since your medical care is a compensable item, the at-fault party will be responsible for covering these expenses. Additionally, our knowledgeable staff may be able to assist you in obtaining free or low-cost coverage, such as Medi-Cal, Medi-Care, and other programs.
There are several parties that you may be able to make a claim against in a pedestrian accident case. These parties can include:
Conducting comprehensive and thorough investigations to identify all potential parties to hold accountable is a key aspect of our services and one that we take great pride in.

Yes, you may still be able to make a claim for damages even if you were partially at fault for the pedestrian accident. This is known as comparative negligence, which means that each party’s degree of fault is taken into account when determining the amount of damages they are entitled to.
In some states, if you are found to be more than 50% at fault, you may not be able to recover any damages at all. However, in other states, you may still be able to recover damages even if you are found to be mostly at fault for the accident.
In California, the statute of limitations for personal injury cases, including pedestrian accidents, is generally two years from the date of the accident. This means that you have two years from the date of the accident to file a lawsuit in court against the at-fault party or parties.
However, there are some exceptions to this rule, and the time limit may be shorter or longer depending on the specific circumstances of your case. For example, if the accident involves a government entity, there are specific deadlines and procedures that must be followed, including a six-month deadline for filing a claim with the government entity before filing a lawsuit.
The length of a pedestrian accident injury lawsuit can vary widely depending on a number of factors. It can take several months to several years to resolve a case. Some factors that can impact the length of a case include the complexity of the case, the severity of the injuries, the number of parties involved, and the willingness of the at-fault party or their insurance company to negotiate a settlement. It is important to have realistic expectations about the timeline of your case and to work with an experienced attorney who can guide you through the process.
We understand that being unable to work after a pedestrian accident can be difficult. However, we can assist you in obtaining a loan from a lending company that will provide you with financial assistance. The loan is paid back and secured by the compensation you receive from your personal injury lawsuit. Lost income is recoverable from the other party, as it is part of your pedestrian accident claim. In some cases, we may also be able to provide you with an advance on the anticipated proceeds of your case to help you during this difficult time.
If you don’t speak English or are not comfortable using English in court, our law firm can assist you with finding a qualified interpreter who can translate for you during all stages of the legal process.

Yes, undocumented immigrants have the same right to make a claim and file a lawsuit as anyone else who has been injured in a pedestrian accident. California law does not require proof of legal immigration status in order to seek compensation for injuries and damages resulting from an accident. However, it is important to work with an experienced attorney who can guide you through the legal process and protect your rights. Additionally, some types of compensation may be limited for undocumented immigrants, such as lost wages, so it is important to discuss your specific situation with one of our attorneys.
