How to Establish Negligence in a Car Accident Claim

To establish negligence in a car accident claim, you and your lawyer must prove four things: duty of care (the other driver had a duty to operate their vehicle reasonably and safely); breach of duty (the other driver breached this duty by acting carelessly or recklessly); causation (the other driver’s breach of duty caused the car accident); and damages (you suffered damages from the car accident such as injuries or property damage). It is important to note that California follows a comparative negligence rule, which means the damages you can recover may be reduced if you are found to be partially at fault. For more on emotional distress claims after a car accident, see our resources.

Do I Need an Attorney for My Car Accident Claim?

Having an attorney for your Chino Hills car accident claim is not required, but it is greatly beneficial to have one on your side. An attorney can help you navigate the legal process, gather and present evidence, negotiate with insurance companies, and represent you in court if necessary. They can also protect your rights and advocate for your best interests, ensuring you receive the full and fair compensation you deserve.

Types of Compensation Available After a Car Accident Injury

If you have been involved in a car accident, you may be entitled to compensation for various damages and losses. This can include payment for immediate and long-term medical costs, compensation for the cost of lifelong care if your injuries are severe, or payment to cover any lost wages or future wage-earning potential if you are unable to work. In addition to medical expenses, you may also be able to recover compensation for your pain and suffering. In some cases, you may also be able to seek punitive damages.

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.
