Quick Answers After a Los Angeles Car Accident

What should I do after a crash?

Call 911 when appropriate, exchange information, photograph the vehicles and scene, collect witness details, and seek prompt medical care. Avoid giving the other driver’s insurer a recorded statement before getting legal advice.

What if the other driver was uninsured?

Your own uninsured-motorist coverage may apply. We review all available policies and potential sources of recovery.

Can I recover if I was partly at fault?

Yes. California follows pure comparative negligence, so partial fault may reduce compensation without eliminating the claim.

How much does a car accident lawyer cost?

There is no upfront attorney’s fee, and you do not pay an attorney’s fee unless we obtain a recovery.

Liability and Evidence in a Car Accident Claim

Useful evidence may include police reports, photographs, video, witness statements, vehicle data, repair records, traffic-signal information, medical records, imaging, wage-loss documents, and proof of daily limitations. When fault is disputed, we compare the physical evidence with each driver’s account and the applicable traffic rules.

Common Car Accident Injuries

Car crashes can cause brain injuries, spinal and disc injuries, fractures, internal injuries, soft-tissue injuries, scarring, chronic pain, and psychological trauma. Some symptoms develop after the scene, which is why prompt medical evaluation and consistent documentation matter.

Frequently Asked Questions About Los Angeles Car Accident Claims

Do I need a police report?

A report can help identify the parties, witnesses, insurance information, and initial accounts. A claim may still be possible without one, depending on the other available evidence.

Should I accept an early insurance offer?

An early offer may not account for future treatment, wage loss, lasting symptoms, or all available coverage. Signing a release generally ends the claim.
