In California, even if you weren’t in a crosswalk when you were struck by a vehicle, the driver may still be liable for the accident. However, California follows a pure comparative negligence system, which means that your own negligence can reduce the amount of compensation you can recover. If you were partially at fault for the accident, your damages will be reduced in proportion to your degree of fault.It’s important to consult with a California pedestrian accident lawyer to evaluate your specific circumstances and determine how your potential fault might impact your case. They can also help you prove the other party’s liability.
