Major Car Accidents in California

Traffic incidents on California's busy roads and byways frequently range from minor fender benders to severe collisions on major thoroughfares. For those affected, these accidents can cause serious injuries, psychological distress, and substantial financial obligations. Recovering damages for your losses requires knowing your legal choices.

In California, fault-based laws hold negligent or reckless drivers accountable for damages caused in an accident. Victims may pursue compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and property damage. The state’s comparative negligence rule allows injured parties to recover compensation even if they are partially at fault, though their percentage of responsibility will reduce their recovery.

Taking immediate steps after an accident is essential. Documenting the scene, obtaining a police report, and seeking prompt medical attention can strengthen your claim. California law requires personal injury claims to be filed within two years of the accident, so acting quickly is critical to protecting your rights.

Collisions on high-speed highways often involve complex factors, including multiple vehicles, difficult-to-determine faults, and significant injuries. A skilled attorney can help investigate the accident, negotiate with insurance companies, and advocate for maximum compensation on your behalf.
