Can You File an Injury Claim & Auto Insurance Claim?

After a car accident, many people wonder whether they can file both an auto insurance claim and a personal injury claim. The answer is yes, and in fact, pursuing both may be necessary to recover the full compensation you deserve.

An auto insurance claim is typically filed with the at-fault driver’s insurance company to cover costs like vehicle repairs, medical bills, and other financial losses. A personal injury claim, on the other hand, seeks compensation beyond the scope of an insurance claim, such as damages for pain and suffering, future income losses, and other long-term impacts of the accident. Our attorneys can help you understand both options and offer representation for injury claims related to car accidents and crashes.

Proving the Other Driver’s Negligence

Establishing that the other driver acted negligently is a key part of a car accident case. Most car accidents are caused by avoidable actions or mistakes on the road, which means that filing an injury claim against that driver should be possible.

Common causes of car accidents include:

• Distracted driving: Includes texting, eating, or any activity that takes the driver’s focus off the road.
• Speeding: Driving above posted speed limits or too fast for weather and traffic conditions.
• Drunk driving: Operating a vehicle while impaired by alcohol.
• Failure to follow traffic signals: Running red lights, stop signs, or ignoring other traffic controls.
• Tailgating: Following another vehicle too closely, leading to rear-end collisions.

At Alvandi Law Group, P.C., we use a thorough and strategic approach to prove negligence in your case. Our attorneys can gather evidence, such as police reports, traffic camera footage, witness statements, and input from accident reconstruction experts. This information helps us establish the cause of the crash and demonstrate the other driver’s responsibility for your injuries.

Damages Through a Car Accident Claim

Car accidents often result in significant injuries, which then lead to financial and emotional harm. Through a car accident claim, you can pursue compensation for your losses, so you don’t end up unfairly paying for everything needed to rebuild your life after another driver did so much damage.

Types of compensation available in a typical car accident claim include:

• Medical expenses: Coverage for emergency care, surgeries, therapies, and any ongoing medical treatments.
• Lost wages: Compensation for the income you’ve lost while recovering from your injuries.
• Future earning capacity: Addresses the loss of potential income due to long-term or permanent injuries.
• Pain and suffering: Compensation for physical pain and emotional distress caused by the accident.
• Vehicle and property damage: Reimbursement for repair or replacement of your car and other damaged belongings.

Our attorneys can thoroughly evaluate your case to calculate all the damages you should be given based on your losses. We are careful not to overlook anything when so much is on the line.

What Does California’s Pure Comparative Negligence Rule Mean?

California follows a pure comparative negligence rule, which allows you to recover damages even if you are partially at fault for the car accident. However, your compensation will be reduced by your percentage of fault. For example, if you are determined to be 20% responsible for the car accident and your total damages amount to $100,000, you would still be eligible to receive 80% of that amount, or $80,000.
