Personal Injury Claims in California

California is an at-fault state that allows victims to seek compensation from the driver responsible for their accident. Victims can sue the responsible driver for damages even if you are partially at fault for the accident. The state uses a pure comparative negligence doctrine for handling compensation claims. However, if you are determined to be partially to blame, it can limit how much compensation you may be entitled to. Lawsuits must be filed within the two year statute of limitations recognized in the state. If you fail to meet this deadline, the courts will likely throw out your case.
Car accident victims are entitled to pursue compensation for their accident-related losses. This can include a variety of damages depending on the economic and non-economic impact your accident had on your life. To find out how much your injury case may be worth, you should speak with a lawyer who can assess the full value of your losses.
Your California accident attorney will help you seek to collect a fair amount for damages appropriate to compensate you for the long-term impact the injuries will have. Depending on what happened, a successful car accident lawsuit may be able to recover compensation for all accident-related medical costs, lost wages & earning potential, as well as compensatory damages for pain and suffering caused by a traumatic accident. In rare cases punitive damages may be sought, in cases going beyond basic negligence.
If you are assigned a share percentage of fault for the collision, your recovery amount will be reduced by that percentage. The pure comparative negligence system used in California entitles a plaintiff to recover compensation so long as the defendant is assigned some percentage of responsibility.
The California insurance laws are complex and you should seek legal representation as soon as possible after an accident.
The California negligence laws leave a lot of room for the insurance companies to limit their liability by arguing you share in the blame for your accident and injuries. Even seemingly inconsequential details can be used to spin what happened and reduce what you are compensated. A skilled injury attorney will give you the best chance at securing the settlement you deserve.

Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist Claims
Car crashes involving underinsured drivers can result when the at-fault driver has insufficient insurance coverage to compensate for damages.
Hit-and-run accidents are another common example that can give rise to uninsured motorist claims when the driver that hit you cannot be identified.
In such cases, your UM coverage activates to provide compensation up to the policy limits. To file a UM/UIM claim you must first prove the at-fault driver lacks or holds insufficient coverage to cover your damages.
Due to the large numbers of drivers that are uninsured or carry minimum insurance in California, UM/UIM claims are frequently used to supplement compensation when the responsible driver's coverage isn't enough to fully cover significant accidents.
How Much is My Injury Case Worth?
What your accident injury case may or may not be worth depends on a variety of factors. Each case is unique, and the facts and circumstances surrounding your accident play an important role in determining the potential value.
The severity of the accident and the extent and impact of your injuries will determine what you are entitled. Generally speaking, people seriously injured that face substantial ongoing costs or suffered permanent disability will result in bigger settlements.
To determine the fair value of your claim, speak with an experienced accident attorney. They will be able to help you calculate the full extent of your losses and potential damages entitled by law.
