What Is the Average Payout for Pedestrian Hit by Car?

It is difficult to determine an average payout for a pedestrian hit by a car in California, as each case is unique and depends on various factors. These factors may include the severity of the pedestrian’s injuries, the amount of medical expenses and lost wages, the extent of the at-fault driver’s liability and insurance coverage, and the skill and experience of the personal injury attorney handling the case.

In general, however, pedestrian accidents can result in significant damages, as pedestrians are vulnerable to serious injuries such as broken bones, spinal cord injuries, traumatic brain injuries, and even death. California law allows for recovery of both economic and non-economic damages in pedestrian accident cases, such as medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, emotional distress, and loss of enjoyment of life.

To determine the potential value of your pedestrian accident case, it is recommended to consult with a qualified and experienced personal injury attorney who can evaluate your case and provide you with an estimate of the damages that you may be able to recover.

Before you compare numbers

How settlement amounts get valued

What the injury costs

Medical care to date, the care still ahead, lost income, and reduced earning capacity. These are documented and added up, not guessed.

What the injury takes

Pain, lost sleep, lost independence, the things you can no longer do. California law recognizes these losses, and they are usually the most contested part of a claim.

What can actually be collected

Insurance policy limits and the responsible party's assets set the practical ceiling. Part of our job is finding every policy that applies to your case.

That is why the results above vary so widely, and why no page can tell you what your case is worth. A conversation gets much closer, and ours are free.
