California Car Accident Laws

First, you must know that after a car accident in California, you are legally required to report the accident to the DMV if it resulted in injury, death, or property damage exceeding $1,000. You must also exchange information with the other driver(s) involved, including names, contact information, insurance details, and vehicle registration.

If you are involved in a hit-and-run accident in California, you should report it to the police and your insurance company as soon as possible. Your uninsured motorist coverage may be able to help with your damages if the at-fault driver cannot be identified.

California follows a fault-based system for determining liability in car accidents. This means that the person responsible for causing the accident is generally responsible for covering the damages resulting from it. The at-fault driver's insurance typically pays for the damages.

You must prove the following elements to win a car accident claim:

• Duty of Care: You must demonstrate that the defendant (the at-fault party) owed a duty of care to you. In California, all drivers owe a duty of care to operate their vehicles safely and follow traffic laws.
• Breach of Duty: You need to show that the defendant breached their duty of care. This could include actions such as speeding, running a red light, driving while intoxicated, or engaging in any other negligent or reckless behavior.
• Causation: You must establish a direct link between the defendant's breach of duty and the accident. In other words, you need to prove that the defendant's actions or negligence caused the accident and your injuries.
• Injuries or Damages: To recover compensation, you need to prove that you suffered injuries or damages as a result of the accident. These damages can include medical expenses, property damage, lost wages, pain and suffering, and more.

However, if the at-fault party believes you were partially liable for causing the crash, California uses a system of comparative negligence to determine damages when both parties share some degree of fault in an accident. In such cases, each party is assigned a percentage of fault, and their compensation is reduced by their percentage of responsibility. However, if one party is found to be more than 50% at fault, they may not be eligible for compensation from the other party.

Properly presenting evidence is crucial. This includes eyewitness testimony, accident reports, photographs of the scene, medical records, expert testimony, and any other relevant documentation that supports your claim.
