32% personal injury contingency attorney fee · No upfront attorney fees.
If you were hit while walking, you may not have a plate number, photographs or a clear memory of the impact. Start with what you do know. Brian Masjedian reviews pedestrian injury claims directly.
Call 911 for an emergency. Keep treatment paperwork and follow your provider’s advice. If a family member is helping you gather information, they can keep a simple list of appointments, bills and messages. Be accurate about symptoms and limitations; the legal review does not replace medical care.
When you are able, record which corner you started from, where you were going, the direction the vehicle traveled and what you remember about the signal. Note lighting, parked vehicles and anything that blocked the view. Say when you do not remember rather than filling in the gaps.
You do not need to return to an unsafe intersection to gather evidence. Tell Brian where footage might exist so preservation can be discussed promptly.
A crosswalk does not always have painted lines. The DMV handbook discusses pedestrians’ right-of-way in marked and unmarked crosswalks and explains that pedestrians must also follow road rules. The actual crossing location, signals and movements need review. Read DMV’s pedestrian and crosswalk guidance.
Bring that account to the attorney’s attention. A driver’s statement is part of the evidence to evaluate alongside visibility, timing, video and witness accounts. Being outside painted lines does not, by itself, answer every responsibility question.
For example, a turning driver and pedestrian may remember different signal phases. A witness who watched the pedestrian start crossing may offer different information from someone who heard the impact afterward. This hypothetical illustrates why the sequence matters; it is not a reported firm result.
Keep any vehicle description, partial plate, report number and witness information. Possible uninsured-motorist coverage requires a review of the policies, who is insured and the incident facts. Reporting and other policy requirements can be time-sensitive. Do not assume a hit-and-run is automatically covered. The uninsured-driver guide explains what to bring.
Bring medical bills, treatment summaries and records of time away from work. Describe changes in walking, sleep, household tasks and other daily activities in your own words. Keep relevant records as they are; do not edit original files or exaggerate what happened. See the missed-work documentation guide.
Brian starts with the accident date, location, injuries and your questions. He reviews the information available and discusses whether the firm can help and what additional records may be needed. You do not need a complete file before calling. Representation begins only after a written agreement is signed.

California generally allows two years to bring a personal injury lawsuit, but the deadline depends on the claim and the parties. Claims involving government agencies have different requirements and can require much earlier action. Insurance notice and reporting duties are separate. Ask for a deadline review promptly; treatment or negotiations do not automatically extend the time to sue. California Courts explains filing deadlines.
The attorney fee is 32% of the gross recovery, before case costs are deducted. If there is no recovery, clients owe no attorney fee and no case costs. The written agreement explains the expenses and deductions that may apply when money is recovered. See how the fee and costs work.
Yes. Tell Brian what you remember and what you learned from others, keeping those accounts separate. The report number, witnesses, photographs and treatment records may provide starting points for an investigation.
Crosswalks are not always painted. The intersection layout and applicable rules need review along with the signals and each person’s movements. Bring the exact location rather than assuming the absence of paint settles the issue.
A family member can help with an initial inquiry. Explain the relationship and whether the injured person can participate. Brian can discuss what authorization may be needed before sharing case information.
Identify the agency, vehicle and location promptly. Claims involving public entities can have requirements and deadlines different from an ordinary claim against a private driver.
The firm handles accepted injury matters on a 32% contingency attorney fee calculated on gross recovery. If there is no recovery, clients owe no attorney fee and no case costs. Review the written agreement for deductions when money is recovered.
