Frequently Asked Questions

What should I do immediately after a motor vehicle accident in Irvine?

First, ensure safety and call for help if needed, then move to a secure location and exchange information with others involved. Document the scene with photos and note weather, road conditions, and witnesses. If police are on scene, obtain the report number for your records. It is important not to admit fault at the scene.

California uses comparative fault rules. The court or insurer assigns a percentage of responsibility to each party based on actions and evidence. You may still recover damages if you are partially at fault, but the amount may be reduced in proportion to your share of fault.

Consider hiring a lawyer when injuries are significant, liability is disputed, or insurers delay or undervalue your claim. An attorney can manage documentation, deadlines, and negotiations. In California, there is a two-year window to file a personal injury claim, so timely action matters.

Yes, in California you generally have two years from the date of injury to file a personal injury lawsuit. There are exceptions for certain cases, and a lawyer can help identify the correct deadlines for your situation.

Damages can include medical expenses, wage loss, property damage, and non-economic losses such as pain and suffering. In some cases, future medical care and loss of earning capacity are also recoverable.

Many cases settle before reaching court, but some disputes require court action. A lawyer can advocate for you in negotiations and prepare for litigation if needed.

If the at-fault driver lacks adequate coverage, you may rely on uninsured/underinsured motorist provisions or your own collision coverage, depending on policy details. We review your policy and options to pursue compensation.

Many motor vehicle accident attorneys work on a contingency basis, meaning you pay nothing upfront and a portion of any recovery is paid to the attorney. The specifics are explained during a free consultation along with any applicable costs.

Settlement negotiations typically begin with a comprehensive demand package to the insurer, followed by back-and-forth offers. We aim to secure a fair amount reflecting medical costs, lost wages, and future care needs, and we escalate to litigation if necessary.

You are not required to provide a recorded statement, and it is wise to consult with your attorney before agreeing to one. We help you decide when a statement is appropriate and how to protect your rights.
