Auto Accidents in California

We witness vehicle collisions in California every day. Annually,  these incidents add up to hundreds of thousands of crashes on our roads. Unfortunately, numerous instances result in people getting injured due to the thoughtless actions of others. If you ever find yourself in such a circumstance, it is vital to realize that you have legal options that can help you secure financial compensation to cover the damages you face.

In California, the state follows a “fault” system when it comes to car accidents. This means that the person at fault for causing the accident is also responsible for compensating the other party for their injuries and damages.

Understanding these laws is essential because they can impact your ability to seek compensation after being hurt in a car accident. California law requires all drivers to carry minimum liability insurance coverage to help cover costs in case of an accident. This money is used to cover the costs of medical expenses, vehicle repairs, and a variety of other damages that are caused by motor vehicle accidents.

It is important to note that California operates under comparative negligence rules, which means that even if you were partially at fault for the accident, you may still be able to recover some compensation based on your level of responsibility. For this reason, it is imperative that you seek representation from a dedicated California pedestrian accident lawyer right away.
