Like any accident between two parties, there is no certainty about who is at fault depending on what modes of transportation were involved. In order to understand who is at fault, or what degree of comparative negligence is at play, we will need to examine all of the relevant details of the accident, including things like where you were walking, whether or not the driver was violating any traffic laws, who had the right-of-way, and much more. California uses comparative fault in order to ensure that every personal injury case is fair to both parties, and if it is found that you are partially responsible for the accident but still entitled to damages, then your final damages will be reduced by the percentage that you were responsible. For example, if you were found to be 10% responsible for an accident and are awarded $100,000 in damages, then you will ultimately receive $90,000 to account for your degree of liability.
