Fault is determined through a combination of police reports, witness statements, vehicle damage, and applicable traffic laws. California uses a comparative fault system, which adjusts damages based on each party’s degree of fault.
Damages can include medical expenses, lost wages, property repair, and non economic losses like pain and suffering. Some losses may require documentation from healthcare providers and employers.
Many cases settle before trial, but some proceed to court if a fair settlement cannot be reached. An attorney can advocate for a strong settlement or prepare for litigation when needed.
In contingency cases, you typically pay nothing upfront. Fees are paid from the settlement or court award, should you recover compensation. If there is no recovery, there is usually no attorney fee.
Case duration varies by complexity, injuries, and court schedules. Some matters settle in months, while others require more time for investigation, expert reviews, and litigation.
