Fault is determined by reviewing police reports, witness statements, and traffic evidence. Shared fault can reduce your compensation under California’s comparative negligence rules.
You may recover medical expenses, lost wages, rehabilitation costs, and compensation for pain and suffering, depending on the case details and damages proven.

If the other driver lacks insurance, you may still have options such as uninsured motorist coverage, or pursuing underinsured claims, and assistance through the court system.
Case timelines vary. Some claims settle quickly, while others proceed to trial, depending on fault, damages, and insurer cooperation.
