Hiring a Pedestrian Accidents Lawyer - Common Questions

Educational answers to the most common questions about working with a pedestrian accidents lawyer. Information for educational purposes only - not legal advice.

  • Pedestrian accidents almost always produce serious injuries because the human body has no protection against a vehicle. Insurance companies often try to shift blame onto the pedestrian - claiming they jaywalked or stepped into traffic. A pedestrian accident lawyer knows how to establish driver fault using crosswalk law, vehicle data, and surveillance footage, and pushes back against unfair fault arguments.

  • A pedestrian accident lawyer investigates the crash, gathers police reports, traffic camera footage, and witness statements, calculates the full cost of injuries (often catastrophic), negotiates with the driver's insurer, and files a lawsuit when needed. They also handle disputes over comparative fault and any arguments about whether the pedestrian had right-of-way.

  • Most work on contingency - no upfront cost. The fee is typically 33-40% of any settlement or verdict, depending on whether the case resolves before or after a lawsuit is filed. If you don't recover, you generally don't pay attorney fees. Always confirm fees and case-expense rules in a written agreement before signing.

  • Generally as soon as possible - ideally within days. Surveillance footage from nearby businesses often overwrites within 7-30 days, and witness memories fade fast. Both California have a 2-year statute of limitations for personal injury claims, but practical evidence-preservation deadlines are much tighter.

  • Yes - pedestrians can share fault if they jaywalked, crossed against the signal, or entered the roadway suddenly. Both California use pure comparative fault, so even a partially at-fault pedestrian can still recover compensation, reduced by their share of the blame. Drivers still owe pedestrians a heightened duty of care, especially in crosswalks and school zones.
