After a car accident, take action to get medical care and document your injuries fully. Doing so can help protect your right to fair compensation later. There are several steps we recommend right after your accident:
You may need to contact the insurance company to alert them to your accident. If police did not arrive on the scene, you may also need to file a police report.
At that point, contact your Huntington Beach car accident attorney. We provide free consultations that require no commitment to continue working with us if you decide not to do so.
Our investigative team works to uncover what took place in your accident, as well as who may be responsible. This goes beyond using the information within the police report; it also gathers data from witnesses, videos, and photos. We work with medical experts and accident reconstruction professionals to get a good idea of what happened.
Under California law, it is possible that you and the other driver share some of the fault in a car accident. Our objective is, when possible, to prove that you do not deserve any of that fault and, therefore, should not have to pay anything towards the loss. However, under comparative negligence laws in California, you can still seek compensation even if you are found to be 99% at fault. Your ability to recover damages is reduced by the number of faults you have.
Our attorneys have over 40 years of experience to put to work in building your case and claim. We take this seriously, and to do that, we gather all evidence to determine what your losses are. We speak to you, your doctors, and third parties who can offer insight into what or how you are suffering. Some of the losses you may have include:
Before submitting a claim to the insurance company or filing a lawsuit, your legal team will uncover all evidence to substantiate these losses. We do this to help minimize the risk of the insurance company reducing your claim.
Under California statute of limitations rulings, victims of car accidents must take legal action within two years of the date of the accident. This includes any claims for personal injury, such as medical bills or pain and suffering. You have three years from the date of the accident to seek compensation for property damage.
In cases of catastrophic injury, where you or your loved one may not recover fully from the accident, our attorneys will pursue aggressive recovery of losses from the at-fault party. This may include support for:
In these cases, your care needs span the rest of your life. We strongly urge you not to simply settle your case but to talk to our legal team about what to place as well as how it is impacting your well-being. With the guidance of an attorney, you can be confident in moving your case forward.
