FAQ: Your Hermosa Beach Claim from Ontario
I was hit by a car while walking on The Strand. Can I sue?
Yes. California has strong protections for pedestrians. If a driver’s negligence caused your injury on a pedestrian walkway or at a crosswalk, you have the right to seek damages. Our Hermosa Beach partners are experts at securing surveillance footage from local businesses to prove what happened.
Do I have to return to Hermosa Beach for my legal case?
No. We utilize secure 2026 video conferencing technology that allows you to participate in meetings, mediations, and even depositions from our office in Ontario. You focus on your recovery at home; we handle the travel.
How does “Comparative Fault” work in Hermosa Beach?
California follows Pure Comparative Negligence. If you were partially responsible for the accident (for example, stepping into the street outside of a crosswalk), you can still recover a percentage of your damages. We fight to minimize your “fault” percentage to maximize your check.
What if I was injured at a Hermosa Beach bar or restaurant?
Falls or injuries occurring at local establishments fall under “Premises Liability.” The Simon Law Group has extensive experience holding property owners in the South Bay accountable for dangerous conditions.
