You may recover medical expenses, lost wages, property damage, and non economic damages like pain and suffering depending on the case and evidence. A Magalia attorney can help evaluate your losses and pursue the full amount allowed by California law.
In California, you typically have two years from the date of the crash to file a claim for most injuries. Some cases have different deadlines, so a prompt review is important to protect your rights. Our team can explain the timeline based on your situation.
If you are partly at fault, you may still recover a portion of your damages under comparative negligence rules. The amount can depend on fault percentages assigned by the insurer or court. We guide you through this process to maximize your outcome.
Bring your photo and video evidence, police report, medical records, wage statements, and any correspondence with insurance adjusters. A list of questions you want answered is also helpful for the initial meeting.
Fault is typically determined by police findings, witness statements, and physical evidence from the crash. Insurance adjusters and courts weigh these factors to determine liability and damages.
Not all cases go to court. Many are resolved through settlement negotiations, while others proceed to trial if a fair agreement cannot be reached.
If the other driver is uninsured, you may still recover damages through uninsured motorist coverage or your own policy, depending on the circumstances and available coverages.
You can start the claim process on your own, but guidance from a qualified attorney can help protect your rights and potentially increase the recovery amount.
Contingency fee arrangements mean you pay legal fees only if we recover compensation for you. If there is no recovery, there is typically no fee. This aligns with how we handle motor vehicle cases.
