How Our Car Accident Lawyers Can Help

If you’ve suffered an injury or a wrongful death in your family because of a car crash, the last thing you want to be doing personally is filing car accident claims and haggling over compensation amounts. Many people in this position simply accept the first offer that an insurance company sends their way so they can move on quickly and not have to deal with it. While this is understandable, it can also mean not receiving the compensation you deserve.

When you retain a car accident attorney, you’re allowing them to focus on your case and compensation so that you can focus on getting better. Our lawyers will work to recover financial damages, pain and suffering, lost wages, compensation for healthcare bills, and so much more.

You’re not alone, and you don’t have to handle this entire process by yourself. Let a skilled and experienced attorney help you move on and recover.

Frequently Asked Quesitons

What Are Some Common Car Accident Injuries?

Along with property damage and the hassle of trying to get your car repaired after a crash, car accidents can cause severe, life-altering, and catastrophic injuries for victims. Ranging in severity, these can include things like:

We help our clients through all of these injuries and more. While we work to get you compensation for physical injuries, we also fight to have your nonphysical injuries recognized as well. In the state of California, plaintiffs can potentially recover compensation for psychological, mental, and emotional suffering along with their financial losses and physical pain.

Our personal injury lawyers may be able to recover damages in your case that include emotional damages, distress, grief, pain and suffering, anguish, and post-traumatic stress disorder.

Can You Recover Damages From a Hit-and-Run?

A hit-and-run is a crash in which the at-fault driver leaves immediately following the accident and before the authorities arrive. This can include a collision between two motor vehicles, a car striking a pedestrian, or a vehicle striking a cyclist.

It’s common for hit-and-run victims to feel at a loss, especially when they weren’t able to catch the identity of the driver or their license plate number. While California’s laws limit your options here, your car insurance company can still help.

When involved in a hit and run, the first thing you should do is call the police. A police report provides necessary documentation that can lead to compensation down the line. If the police are able to locate the driver, you can proceed with your claim accordingly. If the police can’t find the driver, you can still report the crash to your car insurance company and seek compensation for your damages that way.

What Are California’s Car Accident Laws?

California’s car accident laws are complicated. In the interest of clearing things up, here are some key terms any car crash lawyer would want you to be aware of:

Statute of limitations: A statute of limitations is essentially a time limit for filing your claim. The statute of limitations for a car crash claim in California is two years.
Fault-based car insurance: The state of California has fault-based laws when it comes to car insurance. Every driver needs to have car insurance. An injured party will file a claim with the at-fault party’s insurance company to recover compensation for their damages.
Liability laws: In California, you can still recover compensation even if you hold partial responsibility for the accident. A partially at-fault driver will have their compensation reduced proportionately through comparative negligence. For example, if the court determines you were 10% responsible for the crash, your eventual recovery will simply go down by 10%.

What Kind of Compensation Could You Get?

Every case is different. When you file your claim for physical and/or nonphysical damages, we’ll walk you through the process, examine your case, and help you to understand what your best course of action might be. We’ll give you an idea of the amounts and types of damages to seek against the at-fault party.
Seeking the right amount of damages for the correct type of damage can increase your overall chances of winning your case. With that in mind, our car accident lawyers will look over your case and determine the right amount to claim. From there, we’ll help you seek these damages in court. Here are some of the damages you could pursue in your case:

What should I do after an accident?

After an accident, you should assess the damage to both yourself and your vehicle. If you are injured, seek medical attention immediately. If the damage is minor and no injuries are present, you may be able to file a claim with your insurance company yourself. However, if the damage is more serious or you suffered an injury, you should consider hiring a lawyer.

It is important to state that injuries often present themselves hours or days after the accident. So, even if you feel as though you are not injured after an accident, it is vital to still be seen by a medical professional.
