A motor vehicle accident claim is a request for compensation after a crash caused by another party. It may cover medical bills, income loss, and pain and suffering.
Key elements include establishing fault, calculating damages, and pursuing compensation. The typical process starts with a free consultation, evidence gathering, demand letters, negotiations, and, if needed, civil litigation.
Glossary of common terms you may hear during a motor vehicle claim.
Fault refers to who caused the crash and who bears responsibility for the losses that result.
Damages are the losses you may recover, including medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
California follows a comparative fault system, so your recovery may be reduced if you share some responsibility for the crash.
In California, most motor vehicle accident claims must be filed within two years of the crash, with some exceptions.
Options include settlement with insurers, filing a personal injury claim, or pursuing a civil lawsuit. We evaluate which path fits your situation and goals.
If fault is undisputed and damages are clear, direct negotiation or a simple settlement may be appropriate.
When injuries are minor and medical needs are limited, a streamlined process can resolve claims efficiently.
If injuries are severe or there are multiple at-fault parties, a broader strategy helps protect your interests.
We document losses, negotiate assertively with insurers, and pursue court action if necessary to obtain fair compensation.

Immediately after a crash, move to safety, call emergency services if needed, and summon a police report. When you can, document the scene with photos and gather contact information from any witnesses. Seek medical attention for any injuries, even if you think they are minor. Keep records of medical bills and repair costs.
In California, you generally have two years to file a personal injury claim. Some cases have shorter or longer deadlines depending on the circumstances, so it helps to start early and consult with a lawyer.
You may recover medical expenses, lost wages, property damage, and non-economic damages such as pain and suffering. The exact amount depends on your injuries and losses and the strength of your case.
A settlement can sometimes be reached without going to court, but if insurers won’t offer a fair amount, filing a lawsuit is an option. Our team handles negotiations and, if needed, litigation.
Many personal injury cases work on a contingency fee basis, meaning you pay no upfront fees and the attorney’s portion is paid from any final settlement or award.
Case duration varies with complexity, injuries, and insurance negotiations. Some cases settle in months, others may take years, especially if litigation is involved.
California uses comparative fault rules. If you share some responsibility for the crash, your recovery may be reduced proportionally to your fault percentage.
In some cases, filing a claim can affect premiums. Our team can explain how your policy may be impacted and work to minimize any increases.
Bring a copy of the police report, medical bills, repair estimates, and any correspondence with insurers. Also gather contact information for witnesses and any photos from the scene.
