How Our Los Angeles Car Accident Attorneys Can Help
- Investigating the crash thoroughly (police reports, witness statements, surveillance footage, vehicle damage analysis)
- Handling all communication with the insurance adjusters
- Preventing lowball offers or bad-faith delays
- Calculating your total losses (medical bills, lost wages, pain & suffering)
- Filing a strong injury claim backed by evidence and expert support
- Negotiating aggressively for a full settlement
- Filing a lawsuit if needed and representing you in court
Insurance companies are not on your side. Their goal is to protect profits — not people. When you hire us, you level the playing field. We know the tactics insurers use — and we’ve beaten them for years. When necessary, we hire accident reconstructionists, medical experts, and vocational analysts to strengthen your case.
What Compensation Can You Recover After a Car Accident?
Under California law, injured victims are entitled to compensation for both economic and non-economic damages. In some cases, punitive damages may also be available if the at-fault driver acted with gross negligence (such as drunk driving or hit-and-run).
Your compensation may include:
- Past and future medical bills
- Lost income or reduced earning capacity
- Pain and suffering
- Property damage (vehicle repairs or replacement)
- Loss of enjoyment of life
- Out-of-pocket costs related to the crash
- Punitive damages (in DUI or reckless cases)
We’ll calculate every loss — including those you didn’t know you could claim.
Liability & Negligence in California
To win your case, we must show that the other party was negligent. In California, this involves proving:
Duty – The other driver had a legal obligation to operate their vehicle safely
Breach – They violated that duty through careless or reckless conduct
Causation – Their breach directly caused your injuries
Damages – You suffered actual harm as a result
What if You Were Partially at Fault?
California follows a pure comparative fault rule. That means you can still recover damages even if you were partially responsible, though your compensation will be reduced by your percentage of fault.
Example: If you’re awarded $100,000 but were 25% at fault, you can still recover $75,000.
