After a pedestrian accident, insurers often claim you were jaywalking, distracted, or “came out of nowhere.” California follows a pure comparative negligence rule, so any blame shifted onto you can reduce what you recover. Don't let their version of events become the final word.

Depending on the circumstances, we may look into:

  • The Right-of-Way: Whether the driver failed to yield under Vehicle Code §21950.
  • The Driver's Conduct: Speeding, phone use, impairment, or inattention.
  • The Scene: Police reports, photos, lighting, sightlines, and video footage.
  • Your Injuries: Medical records connecting your injuries to the crash.
