California leads the nation in pedestrian fatalities, with over 1,000 pedestrians killed and 14,000+ injured annually. If you've been hit by a car while walking in California, you deserve to know what your claim is worth.
SetCalc's AI has been trained on over 175 billion data points, including thousands of California pedestrian accident settlements and CA court verdicts.
California's favorable laws mean higher settlements for pedestrian victims.
California has no caps on pain and suffering damages and uses pure comparative negligence, allowing you to recover even if partially at fault. These laws dramatically increase settlement values compared to other states.

What Makes SetCalc Special?
No other publicly available AI settlement calculator is specifically optimized for California pedestrian accidents. California's unique legal landscape dramatically affects settlement values.
California's no damage caps, pure comparative negligence, and specific Vehicle Code protections for pedestrians (CVC 21950, 21951, 21954) create a legal environment that typically results in higher pedestrian settlements than other states. SetCalc understands these California-specific factors and provides estimates that reflect the true value of pedestrian injury claims under CA law.
California Pedestrian-Specific Estimates
Other calculators ignore California's pedestrian-friendly laws
that dramatically increase your settlement value.
California has no caps on pain and suffering damages for pedestrian accidents.
Many states limit what you can recover for pain and suffering to $250,000-$500,000. California does not. Combined with the severity of pedestrian injuries, this makes a massive difference in your settlement value.
Because pedestrians have no protection against vehicles, injuries are often severe - broken bones, traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord damage, and permanent disabilities. In states with damage caps, your pain and suffering compensation is limited regardless of severity. California allows full recovery for the actual impact on your life.
California also uses pure comparative negligence, meaning you can recover damages even if you were partially at fault (such as jaywalking or crossing against a signal). Your compensation is reduced by your percentage of fault, but you still recover - unlike states that bar recovery if you're 50%+ at fault.
SetCalc factors in California's legal advantages, the severity of pedestrian injuries, insurance limits, and local settlement data to provide you with an accurate estimate of what your California case is worth.
