First, seek medical attention and contact police. Then preserve evidence and gather details from witnesses. Do not admit fault, and call us for guidance.
In California, fault is determined by considering the actions of all parties. The at fault party’s insurer may pay damages, while you may still recover if you share fault under a comparative fault system.
You may seek medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and loss of future earnings, among other damages.
While you can file a claim on your own, having an attorney can help protect your rights, negotiate with insurers, and maximize recovery.
California imposes a statute of limitations for personal injury cases, typically two years, so timely action is important.
Most cases settle out of court, but some go to trial when insurers refuse a fair offer.
Typically, fees are on a contingency basis; you pay no upfront costs and legal fees come from a portion of the recovery.
Pain and suffering are valued based on impact on daily life, medical treatment, and permanency of injuries, among other factors.
Comparative fault in California means your compensation may be reduced by your own percentage of fault.
