Common Questions About Car Accident Cases in California

  • Do I really need a lawyer after a car accident?

    Yes. Insurance companies may offer quick settlements that don’t reflect the true value of your injuries. A lawyer makes sure you get full compensation for medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering.

  • How much compensation can I recover?

    It depends on your injuries, the impact on your ability to work, and the long-term effects. Settlements may include medical expenses, lost income, vehicle damage, and emotional distress.

  • What if the other driver was uninsured?

    We can pursue claims through your uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage or explore other recovery options.

  • How long do I have to file a car accident claim in California?

    Generally two years from the date of the accident, but sooner is better to preserve evidence.

  • What if I was partly at fault for the accident?

    California’s comparative negligence law means you can still recover compensation, reduced by your percentage of fault.

  • Will my case go to trial?

    Many cases settle, but if an insurer refuses to be fair, we’re ready to fight in court.
