After a car crash, dial emergency services if needed and check for injuries. Move to a safe location if possible and document the scene. Exchange contact and insurance information with others involved. Avoid giving statements to insurance companies before consulting with a lawyer.
Fault is typically determined by police reports, witness statements, and traffic laws. California uses comparative negligence, which may affect recoveries if you share some responsibility.
If the at fault driver has limited coverage, you may pursue options through your own uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage or other liable parties. An attorney can help navigate these claims.
In California, most personal injury claims must be filed within two years. Some situations may shorten or extend that window, so early action helps preserve rights.
Do not admit fault or provide recorded statements before speaking with a lawyer. Let your attorney handle communications with insurers to avoid harming your claim.
You may recover medical expenses, lost wages, property damage, and non economic damages like pain and suffering. The amount depends on evidence, liability, and losses.
Even for minor crashes, injuries can surface later. A lawyer can review coverage, protect rights, and help determine if a claim is appropriate.
A contingency fee means you pay no upfront fees; the attorney’s payment comes from the settlement or court award. Ask about costs and any expenses in advance.
Case duration varies with complexity, evidence gathering, and court schedules. Some matters settle quickly, others go to trial.
An attorney guides case assessment, evidence collection, negotiations, and litigation if needed. They help protect rights and aim to maximize recovery for your family.
