This glossary explains common terms you may encounter in a car accident claim.
Negligence: Failing to exercise ordinary care that results in harm or injury.
Damages: The financial compensation sought for injuries, property loss, medical costs, and other losses.
Comparative fault: A rule that assigns responsibility for a crash based on each party’s degree of fault, which can affect compensation.
Statute of limitations: The time limit to file a legal claim after a crash, which varies by state.
Options include negotiating a settlement with insurers, filing a civil claim, or pursuing a case in court, each with potential timelines and outcomes.

In California, you typically have two years from the date of the crash to file a personal injury claim. Some situations may alter this window, so it’s important to consult with an attorney promptly. Missing deadlines can limit your recovery options.
Attorney fees for car accident cases are usually on a contingency basis, meaning you pay nothing upfront and the lawyer collects a percentage from a successful recovery. There may be costs for filing and expert opinions, which we discuss upfront.
Many car accident claims settle outside court, but some cases proceed to litigation. Timelines vary based on injury severity, complexity, and insurer cooperation. We work to move your claim efficiently while pursuing fair compensation.
Fault is determined through a combination of police reports, accident reconstruction if needed, witness statements, and applicable traffic laws. Insurance adjusters and, if necessary, courts evaluate liability.
Damages can include medical expenses, lost wages, property damage, and non-economic damages like pain and suffering, depending on the case and state law.
Filing a police report can help preserve facts and provide an independent record. If you were able to, contact the police and obtain a copy of the report for your records.
It’s wise to speak with a lawyer before giving a statement to an insurer. Insurers may ask questions that could limit your recovery if misinterpreted.
Yes. You can switch lawyers if you are not satisfied with representation. We can coordinate with your current team to ensure a smooth transition and preserve your rights.
