Filing A Claim For A Pedestrian Accident

You typically have two years from the date of a pedestrian accident to file a lawsuit in California — or two years from the date of death in fatal cases. These accidents often result in serious injuries, so it’s important to act quickly. While you focus on healing, Sam & Ash Injury Law will handle the legal process, gather evidence, and protect your right to full compensation.

In California, drivers are required to yield to pedestrians in marked crosswalks and intersections — but pedestrians also have a duty to act safely. If a pedestrian suddenly steps into traffic or a driver is speeding or distracted, both may share fault. In some cases, liability may lie elsewhere, such as with a city agency responsible for a malfunctioning traffic signal.

Depending on your case, you may be entitled to compensation for emergency medical care, ongoing treatment, lost wages, reduced earning capacity, pain and suffering, emotional distress, loss of enjoyment of life, and in rare cases, punitive damages if the driver’s behavior was especially reckless.
