Evidence collection, liability assessment, medical documentation, and proper valuation of past and future losses drive a successful claim.
This glossary explains common terms you might encounter during a car accident claim.
Failure to exercise reasonable care that results in harm to another person.
A deadline by which you must file a claim in California, typically two years for personal injury cases.
Legal responsibility for damages caused by an accident.
California follows comparative negligence, adjusting damages based on each party’s degree of fault.
You may pursue a claim with the at-fault party’s insurer or file a civil lawsuit. The right path depends on liability, damages, and negotiations.
