Liability means being legally responsible for the damages caused by another party’s actions in a crash.

California uses fault-based liability and comparative negligence. Investigators review evidence, including police reports, witness statements, and medical records, to determine who is at fault and to what degree. Fault can impact the amount recoverable and how settlements are calculated.
While you can file a claim on your own, a lawyer helps evaluate damages, handle communications with insurers, and pursue appropriate compensation. An attorney can navigate complex issues like liability, medical liens, and settlement negotiations.

In California, the statute of limitations for personal injury claims is generally two years from the date of the crash, though some exceptions apply. It’s important to act promptly to preserve evidence and protect your rights.
