Proving Fault in a California Car Accident
California follows a "pure comparative negligence" rule, meaning you can recover damages even if you were partially at fault. However, your recovery is reduced by your percentage of fault. Insurance companies use this rule aggressively to reduce payouts. We use accident reconstruction experts, witness testimony, traffic camera footage, and police reports to establish the other driver's fault and maximize your compensation.
Compensation You May Be Entitled To
Car accident victims in California may be entitled to compensation for medical expenses, future medical care, lost wages, loss of earning capacity, pain and suffering, emotional distress, and property damage. We fight to recover every dollar you are owed.
