How Fault Is Established
Proving liability in a pedestrian accident case relies on evidence: photos, records, witness accounts, and sometimes expert analysis. California's pure comparative negligence rule means you can recover even if you were partly at fault.
The stronger the documentation, the better your position against the insurance company.
What Your Claim May Be Worth
The value depends on the severity of your injuries, your medical costs, lost income, and the insurance available. Serious and permanent injuries carry significantly higher value.
