Even minor crashes can hide injuries. A lawyer ensures you document all injuries and pursue appropriate care. Early legal guidance helps protect your claim from delays or gaps in treatment.

California uses comparative negligence. If you share some fault your recovery may be reduced but you can still obtain compensation. An attorney evaluates fault and preserves your rights throughout the process.
