Types of Compensation After a Pedestrian Accident

The damages from a pedestrian accident extend well beyond physical pain. Immediate costs like emergency care and ongoing treatment can add up quickly. If your injuries prevent you from working, the lost wages can further strain your finances. Many victims also suffer emotional trauma, anxiety, and long-term psychological stress following the incident.

An experienced Santa Ana pedestrian accident lawyer can help you recover a range of damages, including:

  • Medical expenses (current and future)
  • Lost income or reduced earning capacity
  • Pain and suffering
  • Mental anguish
  • Loss of enjoyment of life

At A1 Accident Lawyer, we’ll help ensure that every damage—economic or emotional—is accounted for in your claim.

What Is Your Pedestrian Accident Case Worth?

The value of pedestrian accident claims in Santa Ana depends on several factors. The severity of your injuries, the length of your recovery, and the impact on your daily life all play a role. Some victims face permanent disabilities or require long-term care, which raises the case’s value significantly.

Additionally, how the accident occurred and who was at fault will influence compensation. If you were partially responsible—for example, crossing outside a designated crosswalk—you may still be eligible for compensation under California’s comparative negligence laws. A skilled pedestrian accident lawyer Santa Ana can review the details and give you a clear estimate of what your case may be worth.

Common Causes of Pedestrian Accidents

Pedestrian accidents in Santa Ana often occur due to:

  • Distracted driving (e.g., texting behind the wheel)
  • Failing to yield the right-of-way at crosswalks
  • Speeding in pedestrian-heavy zones
  • Driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol
  • Poorly marked intersections or lack of signage

In some cases, the fault doesn’t rest with the driver alone. Poor urban infrastructure, defective traffic lights, or blocked walkways may also contribute. A1 Accident Lawyer is a pedestrian accident law firm Santa Ana that investigates all contributing factors to build the strongest case possible.

First, seek medical attention—even if injuries seem minor. Then, report the incident to the police, gather witness contact information if possible, and avoid speaking with insurance adjusters before consulting an attorney.

Yes. California follows comparative negligence laws, meaning you can still recover compensation even if you were partially responsible. However, your settlement will be reduced by your percentage of fault.

In most cases, you have two years from the date of the accident to file a personal injury claim. If a government agency is involved, the deadline could be as short as six months.

You may be entitled to compensation for medical bills, lost wages, future medical expenses, emotional distress, pain and suffering, and loss of quality of life. Every case is unique, so a lawyer can assess your specific situation.
