Car Accidents in California

In California, highways like State Route 99 are frequent sites of car crashes due to heavy traffic, high speeds, and merging lanes. In 2023, the California Highway Patrol reported more than 200,000 crashes resulting in injury statewide. Accidents in urban areas such as Sacramento County are especially common during midday hours, when traffic volume increases.

When you’re involved in a crash, knowing your legal rights and next steps is important. One area that often creates confusion is dealing with property damage. Here's what to know:

• Vehicle Repairs or Replacement: If your car is repairable, the insurance company will typically cover the costs based on its policy terms. If it’s totaled, you'll receive a settlement based on the vehicle’s market value, not necessarily what you paid or still owe.
• Rental Car Coverage: Many policies include rental car reimbursement. Be sure to ask what your policy covers while your vehicle is being repaired or replaced.
• Diminished Value Claims: Even after repairs, your car may be worth less than before the crash. In some cases, you may be eligible to file a diminished value claim to recover that loss.
• Aftermarket or Custom Parts: If your car has custom parts, you’ll need documentation. Standard policies might not cover aftermarket upgrades unless specifically included.
• Disputes Over Repairs: If you’re unhappy with the repair work or insurer’s assessment, you can seek a second opinion or involve an attorney to ensure fair compensation.
