Do I Have to Go to Court for a Pedestrian Accident Case in California?
Pedestrian accident cases in California may be resolved through insurance negotiations rather than through trial. Both sides review medical records and other documents before discussing payment. A court appearance may happen if there is a serious dispute over fault or the claim’s value.
If a case does move forward, a judge or jury may review evidence and hear testimony. This step usually comes after settlement efforts fail. Each situation depends on the facts, the injuries involved, and how the insurance company responds.
A personal injury attorney can gather evidence, communicate with insurance companies, and guide you through the legal process.
