How to Protect Your Legal Rights After a Car Accident

After a car accident, your first priority should be your health and safety. If you are injured, call 9-1-1 for medical assistance and move to a safe location. Once you’re secure and have addressed your injuries, follow these guidelines:

  • If possible, take photos of the accident scene, your injuries, and any vehicle damage.
  • Keep copies of all medical records, bills, repair receipts, and other related expenses.
  • Obtain a copy of the Traffic Collision Report from the relevant law enforcement agency, even if the report isn’t favorable to you.
  • Do not admit fault or sign anything from an insurer, this is in order to preserve your rights. Insurance companies often aim to limit or deny claims, especially if the victim is unaware of their rights.
  • Contact an experienced car accident lawyer to understand the full value of your case and avoid mistakes that the other driver’s insurance company could exploit.

Understanding California Car Accident Law

California law allows injured drivers, passengers, and the families of those who have been injured or killed in car accidents to file a lawsuit against those responsible. Legal responsibility, or “liability,” often hinges on proving that another driver was at fault. Negligence—operating a vehicle in an unsafe and unreasonable manner—is usually sufficient to establish liability, even if the other driver did not intentionally cause the accident.

In some cases, non-driver factors, such as roadway hazards or poorly-marked construction sites, can contribute to an accident. It’s important to remember that the statute of limitations for filing a lawsuit in California can be as short as six months for claims against government agencies.

What Compensation Can I Receive If I File a Car Accident Lawsuit?

In car accident lawsuits, injured parties may be entitled to various types of damages, including:

  • Past and future physical pain and suffering, mental anguish, and physical impairment.
  • Past and future medical, incidental, and hospital expenses.
  • Past and future loss of earnings and earning capacity.
  • Property damage.
  • Punitive damages in cases of egregious misconduct.
  • Wrongful death damages when the victim has been killed.

Even if you were partially responsible for the accident, California law allows you to recover compensation if the other driver was primarily at fault. The amount of compensation is determined by comparing the level of carelessness of both parties, known as comparative fault or negligence.
