Can a pedestrian be partially at fault for an accident?

In a pedestrian type crash incident, there are certain items that I focus on. Initially, they might say it was your fault because you were in the crosswalk against a red light, the traffic signal. That’s where my expert experience comes in where I can figure out what the signals were,, what the witnesses and video show, and I’ll be able to – a lot of times, turn the tide. The tide is against you in terms of you getting blamed, and I will turn it around and show that it wasn’t your fault. It was somebody else’s fault.

What is the statute of limitations for pedestrian accidents in Orange County?

The statute of limitations for pedestrian accidents in Orange Country is two years from the date of the accident. You can file a claim or a personal injury lawsuit within this period. However, there are some exceptions to this rule. For instance, you can file two years from the discovery of the injury rather than when the injury occurred. Contact an experienced pedestrian accident lawyer in Orange County to learn if any exceptions apply to your case.

Should I go to a doctor after a pedestrian accident even if I don’t feel any pain?

If you don’t feel any pain, you should still go to a doctor. Delayed pain after certain physical injuries is quite common. It’s likely that your body has still not processed the trauma or injury that it has suffered. To avoid the risk of serious injury, get medical attention regardless of whether you feel pain or not.

Do I still have a pedestrian accident case if I was not walking on the crosswalk while crossing the road?

If you fail to follow some road rules, your case might be affected, but you could still recover compensation. While your compensation amount may get reduced based on your percentage of fault, you would still have a case because California follows the rules of pure comparative negligence. To know how much you can recover from the case, given your share of fault in the accident, you need to consult an Orange County pedestrian accident attorney.
