Let Us Deal with the Auto Insurance Company

Dealing with insurance companies after a car accident can be one of the most stressful and frustrating parts of your recovery process.

What Compensation Can You Get in a Claim?

After a car accident caused by someone else’s mistakes, you have the right to pursue compensation for a variety of damages. Even if you file an auto insurance claim, you can explore your legal options to recover damages through an injury claim or lawsuit. Let us figure out how much you should be owed and what approach should be used to pursue it.

Most car accident claims will demand the following types of damages for the injured plaintiff:

• Medical expenses: From emergency care to rehabilitation and long-term or future treatments.
• Lost wages: Reimbursement for missed time at work and diminished earning capacity or lost future income.
• Pain and suffering: Compensation for the physical discomfort and suffering caused by injuries, which can encompass many forms of non-economic losses.

If your auto insurance doesn’t cover the cost of repairing or replacing your vehicle after a crash, your personal injury claim might include property damage costs, too.

Can You Still File a Claim If Your Car Was Totaled?

Even if your car is completely totaled, you can still file a car accident claim to seek financial recovery. A totaled vehicle does not limit your ability to seek compensation for injuries, property damage, or losses caused by the accident. In fact, if your car was totaled, you’ll be even more likely to need to use a personal injury claim to get the recovery you deserve. If the other driver’s auto insurance company has tried to tell you that your options are limited because your car was totaled, call (800) 980-6905 right away to let our Santa Ana car accident lawyers know what is going on.

What Evidence Helps in a Car Accident Claim?

Strong evidence is typically the foundation of any successful car accident claim. It helps establish fault and supports the compensation you are seeking in a way that makes it more difficult for the defendant or liable party to argue otherwise.

Important pieces of evidence in many car accident claims include:

• Police reports: Detailed, official documentation of the accident, which may include the officer’s idea of who likely caused the crash.
• Photos and videos: Taken at the scene, showing damage, injuries, road conditions, traffic in the area, and more.
• Witness statements: Accounts from other drivers and/or pedestrians who saw the crash happen.
• Medical records: Official medical reports that describe the extent of your injuries, the required treatments, and what caused those injuries.
• Surveillance footage: Video evidence from traffic cameras, dashcams, or other cameras that captured the wreck, like an in-store surveillance camera.

As part of our usual casework for car accident claims, we can collect evidence in its many forms. Our team has the tools and resources to investigate thoroughly, including obtaining police reports, interviewing witnesses, and collaborating with third-party experts to strengthen your case. We do our best to leave no detail out as we prepare a compelling argument for maximum compensation.

What Happens If You Are Partially At Fault?

Being partially at fault for a car accident doesn’t bar you from seeking compensation in California. If you share some blame for the accident, you can still recover damages, but the final compensation amount might be reduced by the percentage of fault assigned to you.

California’s pure comparative negligence rule allows injured parties to pursue compensation no matter how much fault they share, as long as they’re not entirely to blame. For example, if you are found 30% at fault, your total compensation will be reduced by that same percentage, allowing you to collect 70% of the damages. For this reason, it is always worth it to at least speak with our attorneys after being seriously injured in a car accident, even if you think that you might be partially at fault for it.

How Much Time Do You Have to File a Claim?

California law typically uses a two-year statute of limitations on car accident claims, starting on the date of the accident. This time frame can feel long, but preparing a claim can require extensive investigation and preparation, so time can pass quickly. Also, acting quickly to start a claim can help preserve important pieces of evidence that otherwise might have been lost or changed in the meantime. Therefore, don’t wait the entire two years to start your claim; instead, start working on your claim now by working with us.
