Compensation Awarded in Car Accident Cases

If you can prove the other driver was at fault, you may be compensated for the following:

Medical expenses
Lost wages and earnings
Pain and suffering
Property damage

These are just a few of the main categories of damages. For instance, compensation for medical expenses may cover past and future hospital treatment, physical therapy, medication, and more.

Car Accident Fault Laws in California

Every state has its own car accident laws, detailing who can recover compensation and when. California has a rule of “pure comparative negligence” Under this law, accident victims may be compensated even if they were partially or mostly at fault for the accident.

Keep in mind that you will only be compensated for the damages that weren’t your fault.

An example is if you were hit by a driver who ran a red light, but you were going over the speed limit. The courts may consider you to be 10% at fault, while the other party was 90% at fault. Under the state’s car accident laws, you would be compensated for 90% of your damages.

Finding Fault and Negligence in Car Accidents

So how do you find fault for an accident? And once you know who was at fault, how do you prove it?

Sadly, even if you saw the other person texting and driving, this can be hard to prove if there were no witnesses. Such cases can boil down to your word against theirs, which doesn’t hold up well in court.

At Sexual Harassment Employment Attorneys, we take care to not only find fault but to prove it with solid evidence. We call on all our resources when investigating an accident. It’s our mission to get rid of any guesswork.

Our Orange County auto accident lawyers typically look for fault through:

Accident reconstruction
Interviewing witnesses
Checking dashcam and security footage
Speaking with police and referring to accident reports
And much more

It is crucial to have someone with your best interests at heart on your side. An insurance agent will be carrying out their own investigation to poke holes in your claim. Their goal is to reduce your compensation; ours is to maximize that compensation.

Understanding Your Rights After a Car Accident

After being involved in a car accident, it's important to understand your rights and the legal options available to you. Our team of experienced Orange County car accident attorneys can guide you through the process and ensure that you receive the compensation you deserve.

Some key rights and considerations to keep in mind after a car accident include:

The right to seek medical treatment for any injuries sustained
The right to file a claim for compensation for damages and losses
The importance of documenting the accident scene, including taking photographs and obtaining witness statements
The potential for compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, property damage, and pain and suffering
The statute of limitations for filing a car accident claim in California

By seeking the assistance of a knowledgeable car accident attorney, you can ensure that your rights are protected and that you receive the full and fair compensation you are entitled to.

Common Causes of Car Accidents

According to a report by the California Highway Patrol (CHP), some of the most common causes of car crashes are:

Speeding
Tailgating
Making unsafe turns
Blocking traffic
Falling asleep at the wheel
Driving under the influence (DUI)
Driving on the wrong side of the road
Failing to yield the right of way
Ignoring traffic signs and signals
Backing up without looking
Parking in dangerous or unsafe places
Auto defects

All of these common causes are a form of negligence. If the other driver committed them, they must be held accountable for their actions.

Steps to Filing an Auto Accident Claim in California

After a car accident, most people try to find compensation through insurance. Unfortunately, many people have a hard time actually getting the money owed to them. The at-fault driver typically blames the victim, regardless of the truth. And their insurance provider will agree as long as it saves them money.

This is when most people start thinking about hiring an attorney. When insurance tries to avoid paying, an attorney can use the real possibility of a lawsuit to get fair compensation. If negotiation doesn’t work, the next step would be suing the at-fault driver.

Who Pays for My Car Accident Settlement?

The average person does not have the money to pay for an accident settlement. (A moderate injury, for instance, could warrant thousands of dollars in compensation.) That’s the role of insurance.

An insurance provider of some sort will likely be responsible for paying your settlement, be it the at-fault driver’s insurance, your own insurance, a rideshare company’s insurance, etc.

Should I Get a Lawyer After a Car Accident?

Many people put off getting a lawyer. They will often try their hand at negotiating with the insurance company, only to end up hiring a lawyer later.

The truth is, getting legal help sooner rather than later may actually save you money in the long run. You will have a better chance of avoiding mistakes that could wreck your case. It’s also the best way to show the insurance company you won’t be taken advantage of.

A lawyer can take care of insurance negotiations for you. They will also investigate early on and help you build a strong claim. No time will be wasted in taking the insurance company to court if they refuse to respect your right to compensation. We’ve found that the idea of having to go to court is enough to get an insurance company to settle fairly.

Most auto accident lawyers don’t charge any upfront fees, either. Sexual Harassment Employment Attorneys won’t charge a cent unless we recover compensation. We are proud to represent clients without placing another financial burden on them.

If you aren’t sure whether you want legal representation, just start with a free, no-obligation consultation.

When Should You Talk to an Auto Accident Lawyer?

The filing deadline (also known as the “statute of limitations”) for a civil lawsuit is two years from the date of the accident. If you don’t file a lawsuit by then, you will lose your right to compensation.

For insurance claims, the filing deadline is even earlier. And if the accident resulted in injury or vehicle damage worth over $1,000, you will also need to report the accident to the CA DMV within 10 days.

The earlier you reach out to an auto accident attorney, the more help they can provide. Don’t wait until it’s too late. One of the biggest mistakes accident victims make is waiting too long to take action.
