Here are common terms you may encounter when pursuing a motor vehicle accident claim.
Liability means legal responsibility for the harm caused by an accident.

After a motor vehicle crash, prioritize safety and seek medical care if needed. If possible, gather information from the other driver and witnesses, and call our office for guidance on next steps. Our team in Lamont can help you understand your options and begin the claim process promptly.
California uses a fault-based system to determine liability. You may recover damages if another party is at fault, and comparative negligence rules can affect compensation if you share some fault with others. We explain how these rules apply to your case.
In California, personal injury claims generally have a two-year filing deadline. Minors may have different timelines. It is important to start handling a claim early to preserve your rights.
You may recover medical expenses, lost wages, property damage, and non-economic damages such as pain and suffering. The exact amount depends on the specifics of your injuries and impact.
Having a lawyer helps you navigate deadlines, communicate with insurers, and assemble the evidence needed for a strong claim. We can provide guidance and support throughout the process.
Most motor vehicle accident cases are handled on a contingency basis, meaning you pay nothing upfront and fees are paid from any settlement or verdict. We discuss the terms clearly before starting.
If the other driver lacks insurance, you may rely on your own underinsured motorist coverage or other available remedies. We review all options to maximize recovery.
Medical bills can be addressed through your health coverage and, in some cases, through the at-fault party’s insurer. We help manage liens and ensure proper billing practices.
In many cases you can work while pursuing a claim, though significant injuries may limit your ability to work. We tailor guidance to your situation.
