Fault is determined by evidence such as police reports, traffic laws, eyewitness accounts, and scene photos. A lawyer helps evaluate liability.
Many cases settle without a trial, but some require court action to recover fair compensation.
California uses pure comparative fault, so you can still recover a portion of your losses even if you were partly at fault.
If the other driver lacks sufficient coverage, you may pursue underinsured motorist coverage or your own policy, depending on the circumstances.
Settlement timelines vary with case complexity, medical needs, and negotiations. Some cases resolve in a few months; others take longer.
Many law firms offer a free initial consultation and work on a contingency basis, meaning you pay nothing upfront unless there is a recovery.
