Jonathan and his team helped me win my settlement for a very traumatic dog bite case and were very diligent and empathetic with my injuries. Without the WIN team I would not have gotten justice on any level and I’m forever grateful for them! Would recommend highly to anyone needing representation for injuries.

Frequently Asked Questions
Call us today to get answers specific to your case. We offer Free Consultations and only get paid if you win.
What should I do immediately after a pedestrian accident in California?
Call 911, seek medical help, and gather evidence if you can (photos, witness contacts). Avoid giving detailed statements to insurance companies until you consult a lawyer.
Who is usually at fault in a pedestrian accident?
Fault depends on the circumstances. Drivers are often liable if they were speeding, distracted, or failed to yield, but sometimes liability can be shared.
Can I still recover compensation if I was partially at fault?
Yes. California follows “comparative negligence,” meaning you can still recover damages even if you share some responsibility—though your compensation may be reduced.
What damages can I recover after a pedestrian accident?
You may be entitled to medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, rehabilitation costs, and in severe cases, long-term disability or future care expenses.
How long do I have to file a pedestrian accident claim in California?
Generally, you have two years from the date of the accident to file a personal injury claim. Some exceptions may apply, so it’s best to act quickly.
What if the driver fled the scene (hit-and-run)?
You may still have options, including pursuing an uninsured motorist claim through your own insurance or seeking other legal remedies with the help of an attorney.
Do I need a lawyer for a pedestrian accident claim?
Yes. Insurance companies often try to minimize payouts. Having an experienced personal injury attorney ensures your rights are protected and you get the compensation you deserve.
