Motor Vehicle Accidents in California

Traffic collisions are an unfortunate and frequent reality on California’s roads. From standard passenger vehicles to delivery vans and commercial fleets, accidents can happen in an instant—often resulting in serious injuries, emotional distress, and costly property damage. For many families, the impact of a crash extends far beyond the moment of impact, creating long-term challenges that require both medical and legal support.

Under California law, individuals injured in auto accidents caused by negligent or reckless drivers have the right to pursue compensation. Recoverable damages may include medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, vehicle repairs, and other financial losses tied to the crash. Importantly, California follows a comparative negligence system, which allows injured victims to seek damages even if they share some responsibility for the incident. However, any compensation awarded is reduced in proportion to the victim’s percentage of fault.

Accidents involving commercial vehicles—such as delivery vans, company trucks, and rideshare services—can introduce additional layers of complexity. In these cases, liability may extend beyond the driver to include employers, contractors, or corporate insurers.

Acting quickly after a crash can make a significant difference. Seeking medical attention, preserving physical evidence, collecting witness information, and filing a police report are all critical steps that help protect your legal claim. California sets a two-year deadline for filing personal injury lawsuits, so it’s important not to delay.
