California uses a pure comparative negligence system; fault is apportioned, and damages are reduced by your percentage of fault. In some cases, multiple parties may share liability; a thorough investigation helps maximize recovery.
Bring a list of injuries, medical records, police report, photos, insurance information, and any medical bills. Also include wage information and a summary of lost income and time off work.
Most cases settle out of court, but some go to trial if a fair offer isn’t reached. The timeline depends on evidence, injuries, and court schedules.
Many car accident lawyers work on a contingency fee basis, meaning you pay nothing up front and fees are paid from your settlement. If you win, the fee is a percentage of the recovery.
Resolution times vary from a few months to several years depending on complexity, injuries, and court backlogs. We strive to move the process forward efficiently while protecting your rights.
Yes. California follows comparative negligence, so you can still recover if you are partly at fault, but your recovery may be reduced. Your attorney can help minimize your own fault and maximize compensation.
If the at-fault driver has no insurance, you may still pursue underinsured motorist coverage or your own uninsured motorist benefits, depending on your policy and the circumstances. We can review insurance options and assist with claims against other liable parties if applicable.
