Comparative negligence means a claim may be reduced if you share some responsibility for the injury. California follows a partial comparative fault system, so your compensation may be decreased by your percentage of fault.
Medical records, bills, care provider notes, accident reports, and proof of income are typically needed. Photographs, witness contact information, and any insurance communications can also support your claim.
Medical bills are collected and reviewed to document the costs associated with the injury. We seek to have these costs included in the compensation recovered from the at-fault party or their insurer.
A personal injury attorney helps you understand your rights, evaluates the case, negotiates with insurers, and, if needed, guides you through litigation. We work to maximize recovery while keeping you informed throughout the process.
