Car Accidents in California
Every year, hundreds of thousands of injuries result from motor vehicle accidents across California. For individuals experiencing their first car accident, navigating the process of seeking compensation from the responsible party can be complex. Many accidents occur due to poor decisions made by drivers, necessitating the injured party to prove negligence on the part of the other driver to succeed. This involves meeting four key elements of fault:
- Duty: The injured person must show that the other driver had a responsibility to care for them. As drivers, we are obligated to operate our vehicles with awareness and consideration for others on the road.
- Breach: Drivers are required to consistently fulfill their duty by acting reasonably. Reasonableness is judged based on what an average driver would do given the accident circumstances. If an average driver, knowing the risks, would have acted differently but the negligent driver did not, they are considered to have breached their duty through negligence.
- Causation: The injured party needs to prove that their injuries or property damage directly resulted from the other driver’s negligent actions.
- Damages: Car accident victims must demonstrate that the negligent driver’s actions led to financial losses deserving compensation. Common damages include medical expenses, lost income, pain and suffering, and other related losses.
