Fault in California is typically determined based on who was primarily responsible for the crash. Insurance adjusters and, when necessary, courts evaluate evidence, police reports, and witness statements to assign fault. Understanding liability helps you pursue the appropriate claim.
Damages may include medical bills, lost wages, property damage, and non-economic losses like pain and suffering. A claim may also cover rehabilitation costs and future medical needs depending on the case.
California generally allows a two-year window to file a personal injury claim, but deadlines vary by situation. It’s important to start the process as soon as possible to protect your rights.
Many cases settle before trial through negotiated agreements with insurers. A strong claim can lead to a fair settlement, though some matters proceed to court if needed.
Settlement agreements are typically confidential, but terms can vary. If you have concerns, our team can explain options and any public vs. private aspects.
If the other driver lacks insurance, you may pursue underinsured motorist coverage or other avenues to recover costs. We review your policies and options.
Attorney fees in personal injury cases are often contingent on settlement or verdict. We discuss costs up front and only move forward with a plan that fits your situation.
