The time it takes to settle a pedestrian accident claim can vary widely, but most cases are resolved within a few months to a couple of years. Several factors influence the timeline, including:
Severity of injuries – More serious injuries often mean longer recovery periods, which can delay settlement.
Medical treatment duration – It’s usually best to wait until the victim reaches maximum medical improvement before settling.
Insurance company cooperation – Some insurers negotiate quickly, while others may delay or dispute liability.
Legal complexity – If liability is contested or if multiple parties are involved, the case may take longer.
Court involvement – If the case goes to litigation, it can take a year or more to resolve.
Would you like help drafting a sample claim timeline for a typical case?
Liability when a car hits a pedestrian typically falls on the driver if they were negligent—such as speeding, running a red light, or failing to yield. However, the pedestrian may be partially or fully liable if they were jaywalking, distracted, or crossing illegally. In some cases, both parties may share fault.
