Right after a crash, ensure safety, call 911 if anyone is hurt, and obtain the other driver’s information. Take photos of the scene, note weather, road conditions, and time. Then contact Ling Law Group to schedule a consultation. We can assess your case and explain your options under California law.
Fault in California is determined by evidence from police reports, witness statements, and traffic laws. California uses a comparative fault system, so your recovery may be reduced if you share some responsibility. Our team helps protect your rights and can bring in experts if needed.
Damages include medical bills, lost wages, property damage, and pain and suffering. Some losses may be future, such as ongoing medical care or diminished earning capacity; we quantify and pursue those as appropriate.
In California, you generally have two years from the date of the crash to file a personal injury claim. There are exceptions for government claims and other special circumstances that can shorten or extend deadlines.
Bring a valid photo ID, the police report if available, medical records, proof of medical treatment, insurance information, photos from the scene, and a list of witnesses or contacts for statements.
For minor crashes, you may not need an attorney right away, but a consultation can prevent costly mistakes and ensure you understand your options and rights in California.
