Why Choosing the Right Pedestrian Accident Lawyer Matters
If you’ve suffered a pedestrian accident in Los Angeles, your choice of lawyer will have a huge impact on compensation. Pedestrian accidents often involve severe injuries that require long-term medical treatment and rehabilitation—and not every injury lawyer can handle these complex cases.
This is where boutique representation matters. Just recently, Peerali Law settled a pedestrian accident case with a common series of events:
- Client suffers a serious injury in a pedestrian accident
- Client needs medical treatment and rehabilitation
- Hires a law firm
- At-fault insurer rejects responsibility
- At-fault insurer shifts blame to another driver—or onto the victim
CASE STUDY
$5.2 Million Settlement After Insurer Denies Responsibility
Peerali Law secured a $5,200,000 confidential settlement for a Los Angeles woman who sustained catastrophic injuries after being struck by a car. Our client was walking along a sidewalk when the accident occurred. Despite her injuries, the defendant’s insurance company disputed liability. This is because the defendant did not actually strike our client—and instead shifted blame onto a third driver involved in the accident.
Facing a breakdown in negotiations, Kristopher Peerali conducted a thorough investigation, ultimately proving that the defendant initiated the collision by making an unsafe turn. The defendant’s negligent actions caused an oncoming vehicle to veer of the road and strike our client. The case was resolved pre-trial for $5.2 million.

What Counts as a Pedestrian Accident Injury?
Not every injury suffered in a pedestrian accident qualifies as a “catastrophic” injury. At Peerali Law, we classify a pedestrian accident as catastrophic when it results in one or more of the following:
- Severe head trauma, including traumatic brain injury (TBI)
- Spinal cord injuries causing paralysis
- Amputations
- Permanent disability or disfigurement
- Loss of cognitive or physical function
- Long-term or life-long medical care
These cases require a deeper level of legal strategy than standard personal injury claims. The attorney must not only prove liability but also quantify the entire future impact of the injury.
If you believe your injury may fall into this category, we can review your case for free and tell you exactly where you stand.
What Happens if the Accident Was Partially My Fault?
In California, you can still collect a portion of your damages even if you’re partially responsible for the accident. That’s because California has a pure comparative negligence law.
However, your recovery would be proportionally reduced by your percentage of fault. For example, if a jury finds you 20% at fault for the accident, then you can receive 80% of your damages from the driver. Insurance companies will use every tactic possible to place more fault on you to save money. So you’ll still need a strong litigator to help you craft persuasive pedestrian accident liability arguments.
At Peerali Law, we know all the tricks and tactics the insurance company will use to deflect liability. Let a pedestrian accident lawyer at our firm help you gain the upper hand when you’re dealing with an insurance company.
How Much Are the Legal Fees?
At Peerali Law, we operate on a no-win, no-fee model. This means you pay nothing upfront, and you owe us nothing unless we win your case.
Across the United States, contingency fees for personal injury cases generally range from 33%-40%, and may increase if a case goes to trial. Some firms also add extra fees or charge back expenses to the client—often without making this clear at the start of representation.
We don’t believe in hidden costs. Peerali Law provides transparent, written fee agreements so you know exactly what to expect. Many of our clients appreciate that we honor the terms of our contracts—with no surprise charges later. As one client shared in a five-star review:
“I am very happy with the settlement results… Peerali Law firm also did not charge me extra money as agreed upon in the retainer contract. They honored to stay at their minimum fee which meant a lot to me.” — L.F. (Yelp Review)
