You might be entitled to file a personal injury case for compensation if you are struck by a car while crossing the street, in a parking lot, or even on the sidewalk. If a careless motorist causes a serious accident, that driver may be held accountable under California’s negligence laws. Even if you are unsure of who caused the accident, the carelessness or negligence of another person or the owner of the property may make them accountable for your injuries.
