A car accident claim is a request for damages caused by another driver’s fault. The goal is to recover medical costs, lost earnings, pain and suffering, and other related losses.
Key elements include gathering police reports, medical records, witness statements, and proof of fault, followed by negotiations with insurers or filing a lawsuit when necessary.
This glossary explains terms commonly used in car accident claims to help you understand the legal language.
Negligence means failing to exercise reasonable care, which results in injury or damages to another person.
Damages are the financial compensation sought for medical bills, lost wages, and other losses caused by an accident.
Comparative fault refers to assigning percentages of responsibility to each party for the accident, which can affect the amount recovered.
The statute of limitations sets the time limit for filing a car accident claim; in California, deadlines can vary by case, so prompt action is important.
You have options in a car accident case, including negotiating a settlement, filing a claim with your insurer, or pursuing a civil lawsuit. We help you evaluate these choices based on your circumstances.
