California uses pure comparative fault, so your recovery may be reduced by your share of responsibility for the crash.
Liability determines who is at fault for the accident, which can involve a driver, a city, a property owner, or a combination of parties.
Damages include medical expenses, lost wages, rehabilitation costs, and non-economic harms like pain and suffering.
A settlement is an agreement to resolve the claim without a trial, often after careful evidence review and negotiations.
You can pursue a settlement, file a claim with an insurer, or take the case to court. Each path has potential benefits and risks.
If fault is obvious, medical costs are straightforward, and there is little dispute over damages, a targeted approach can resolve the matter efficiently.
When liability is not in question and the main issue is the amount of compensation, a focused negotiation may be appropriate.
A full review of medical records, police reports, and witness statements helps build a strong claim.

California uses pure comparative fault to assign liability. Each party’s share of responsibility reduces the overall compensation. Even if you are partly at fault, you may still recover a portion of your damages. An attorney can help determine fault percentages and maximize your recovery.
Damages typically include medical bills, future treatment costs, lost wages, diminished earning capacity, and non-economic harms like pain and suffering. Some damages may be recoverable through insurance or court action, depending on the case.
In California, the statute of limitations for personal injury is generally two years from the date of the injury. Certain circumstances can shorten or extend this period, so it’s important to consult promptly.
Bring the police report, any medical records or bills, proof of income, photos from the scene, and contact information for any witnesses. Having these documents ready helps speed up the process.

Yes. If you are partially at fault, you may still recover a portion of your damages, depending on fault apportionment. A skilled attorney can help protect your rights and maximize the recovery.
