Fatal Accident Attorney in Beverly Hills, California

Every year, more than 32,000 people die in car accidents. More than 3,000 of those deaths occur in California alone. When a person loses their life in a car accident, their family and friends continue to suffer. Not only do they have to deal with the trauma of losing a loved one, but also the emotional upheaval of planning a funeral and managing car accident expenses. If a loved one has recently passed away due to injuries sustained in a car accident, don’t go through this experience alone. The Beverly Hills personal injury attorneys at Setareh Law are here for you and want to help you navigate this difficult time.

Why do Fatal Car Accidents Happen in Beverly Hills?

There are numerous reasons why car accidents occur in California. All car accidents are the result of someone else’s negligence. Even if the person who is at fault did not intend for their actions to cause pain and suffering, they’re still liable for the losses their actions caused. Some of the most common reasons for car accidents in California include:

  • Distracted driving
  • Reckless driving
  • Driving under the influence
  • Car design defects
  • Maintenance errors

Whatever the reason your loved one was in a car accident, you don’t have to suffer through paying for their medical bills and other car accident-related expenses.

Who is to Blame for Fatal Car Accidents?

When a person is in a car accident that causes serious injury or death, there are a lot of questions that need to be answered. Likewise, it can be easy to place the blame in moments of extreme emotion. However, there are many parties that can be found at fault in fatal car accidents; oftentimes, more than one party is at fault. Parties that can be found at fault in fatal car accidents include:

  • The other driver
  • The car manufacturer
  • A car maintenance company
  • The city or state
  • Other parties

The best way to determine who is at fault for a fatal car accident is to file a police report and enlist the help of an experienced car accident attorney.

Fair Compensation For Fatal Car Accident Cases

Every day, experienced attorneys win people settlements related to their car accidents. If a loved one has recently died in a car accident, you might be entitled to a settlement for:

  • Medical bills
  • Lost wages
  • Hospice care
  • Pain and suffering

A personal injury attorney can help you keep track of all of the car accident-related expenses your loved one incurred. Likewise, they can help you determine which are payable by their insurance company and which expenses qualify for payment by the other party.

Frequently
Asked Questions

If you, a family member or a friend has suffered a personal injury, contact us today at 310-659-1826 for a free case evaluation. Our experienced team can evaluate the facts of your case, discuss the viable avenues for compensation recovery, and serve as your counsel throughout the personal injury claims process.

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

In most cases, you have two years from the date of the accident to file a personal injury lawsuit in California. If a government vehicle was involved, you may only have six months to file an administrative claim. Acting quickly protects your rights and helps preserve critical evidence.

What should I do immediately after a car accident?

Call 911, seek medical attention, and document the scene if you are able. Exchange insurance and contact information with all parties involved. Avoid admitting fault, as liability is determined through the investigation process. Speaking with an attorney before communicating with insurance companies is also strongly recommended.

What if the other driver was uninsured?

California requires drivers to carry auto insurance, but many do not. If an uninsured driver hits you, you may be able to recover compensation through your own uninsured motorist coverage. Our attorneys can help you identify all available sources of compensation so no option is overlooked.

Can I still recover damages if I was partially at fault?

Yes. California follows a pure comparative fault rule, meaning you can recover compensation even if you share some responsibility for the accident. Your total damages will be reduced by your percentage of fault. For example, if you were 20% at fault and your damages totaled $100,000, you may recover $80,000.

What damages can I recover from a car accident?

You may be able to recover medical expenses, lost wages, loss of future earning capacity, property damage, and pain and suffering. In cases involving particularly reckless conduct, punitive damages may also be available.

What if my injuries did not appear right away?

This is more common than you might think. Injuries like whiplash, soft tissue damage, and internal injuries can take hours or days to appear. Under California's discovery rule, your statute of limitations may begin when you discovered the injury, not necessarily when the accident occurred. Still, the sooner you seek medical care and legal advice, the better.

Should I accept the insurance company's first settlement offer?

In most cases, no. First offers from insurance companies are often significantly lower than what your claim is actually worth. Accepting a settlement too early may prevent you from recovering future medical costs or lost earnings you have not yet accounted for. An attorney can evaluate whether any offer truly reflects your full damages.

How does a contingency fee arrangement work?

With a contingency fee agreement, you pay no upfront attorney fees. Your attorney only gets paid if they recover compensation for you. At Setareh Law, every case is handled on this basis, meaning there is no financial risk to you when seeking legal representation.
