Common Causes of Car vs. Pedestrian Accidents
Pedestrian accidents frequently result from:
- Distracted driving (texting, phones)
- Speeding or reckless driving
- Failure to yield at crosswalks
- Drunk or impaired driving
- Poorly maintained roads or lack of crosswalks
We analyze every contributing factor to build strong cases against negligent parties.
Serious Injuries & Wrongful Death
Victims and families often face:
- Life-altering injuries: traumatic brain injury, spinal damage, fractures
- Emotional trauma and long-term care needs
- In the most tragic situations, fatalities
When a fatality occurs, surviving family members may have wrongful death claims in addition to injury claims.
Wrongful Death Claims After a Pedestrian Fatality
In California, if a pedestrian is killed due to driver negligence, eligible family members (e.g., spouse, children, parents) can pursue:
- Funeral expenses
- Loss of financial support
- Loss of companionship and emotional guidance
Unlike medical malpractice cases, no caps apply to these damages—allowing for more comprehensive recovery. Learn more about wrongful death law.
What You Can Recover
If Injured:
- Medical bills (past/future)
- Lost wages and lost earning power
- Pain, suffering, and emotional distress
In Fatal Cases:
- Funeral and burial costs

❓ FAQs on Pedestrian Wrongful Death
Who can file a wrongful death claim?
In California, immediate family members such as a spouse, domestic partner, children, or, in some cases, parents or legal guardians can file a wrongful death claim. If no direct relatives exist, individuals financially dependent on the deceased may also be eligible.
What damages can be recovered in a pedestrian wrongful death case?
Families may be entitled to compensation for funeral and burial expenses, loss of financial support, medical bills (if the deceased received treatment before passing), and non-economic damages like loss of companionship and emotional support.
Is there a time limit to file a wrongful death lawsuit in California?
Yes. The statute of limitations in California for wrongful death claims is typically two years from the date of death. Failing to file within this period can bar your right to compensation.
What if the pedestrian was partially at fault?
California follows a pure comparative negligence rule. This means a wrongful death claim can still be pursued even if the pedestrian was partially at fault. The compensation may be reduced by the percentage of fault assigned to the pedestrian.
How can an attorney help with a wrongful death claim?
A wrongful death attorney gathers evidence, deals with insurance companies, files legal documents, negotiates settlements, and—if necessary—litigates the case in court. Their experience ensures your case is handled efficiently while allowing you space to grieve.
