Fatal Pedestrian Accidents in California

Fatal pedestrian accidents are among the most devastating types of crashes, often leaving families with emotional pain and financial hardship. In California, surviving family members may be entitled to compensation through a wrongful death claim for funeral expenses, lost income, and pain and suffering.

Under California law, families generally have two years from the date of death to file a wrongful death lawsuit. Failing to act within this period may prevent them from recovering compensation.

A skilled California pedestrian accident lawyer can investigate the crash, identify all liable parties, and help families pursue justice and financial recovery.
