Types of Auto Accident Cases

Auto accidents can occur under various circumstances, each with its own complexities. Our experienced attorneys handle a wide range of accident cases, including:

  • Rear-End Collisions: These are one of the most common types of auto accidents. If you were rear-ended, you may be entitled to compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, and vehicle damage.
  • Head-On Collisions: These accidents often result in severe injuries or fatalities. We will work to secure the full compensation needed to cover the long-term effects of these devastating crashes.
  • T-Bone or Side-Impact Accidents: These crashes frequently occur at intersections and can cause serious injuries. Our attorneys will investigate the crash and determine liability to build a strong case.
  • Multi-Vehicle Accidents: Multiple parties can be involved in pile-ups or chain-reaction crashes. We’ll help untangle the complexities to identify responsible parties and pursue compensation.
  • Hit and Run Accidents: If the driver who hit you fled the scene, we can help navigate the process of seeking compensation through your insurance or other available means.
  • Drunk Driving Accidents: If you’ve been injured by a driver under the influence, we’ll help you hold them accountable for their reckless actions.
  • Distracted Driving Accidents: We’ll pursue compensation if you were hurt due to another driver’s negligence, such as texting while driving.

What Should You Do After an Auto Accident?

If you’ve been involved in a car accident, taking immediate steps can help protect your legal rights and improve your chances of obtaining compensation. Here are the steps to take right after the accident:

  • Call the police to report the accident and get an official record.
  • Seek medical attention immediately, even if you don’t feel injured at first.
  • Document the scene by taking photos of the vehicles, road conditions, and any visible injuries.
  • Exchange information with the other driver(s), including contact details and insurance information.
  • Avoid admitting fault and be cautious when speaking with insurance companies without legal guidance.
  • Consult an experienced auto accident attorney as soon as possible to explore your options for compensation.

How Much Is Your Auto Accident Case Worth?

The value of an auto accident case depends on several factors, including the severity of your injuries, the impact on your life, and who was at fault. You may be eligible to receive compensation for:

  • Medical Expenses: This includes all related medical costs, from emergency room visits and surgeries to rehabilitation and ongoing care.
  • Lost Wages: If your injuries prevented you from working, you may be entitled to compensation for both past and future lost income.
  • Vehicle Damage: You can seek compensation to repair or replace your vehicle after the accident.
  • Pain and Suffering: This includes the physical pain and emotional distress caused by the accident and its aftermath.
  • Loss of Enjoyment of Life: If the accident has diminished your ability to enjoy everyday activities, you may be entitled to damages for the impact on your quality of life.

During your consultation, we’ll assess the specifics of your case and give you a clearer idea of its potential value.

Frequently Asked Questions

Should I talk to the other driver's insurance company?

No. Do not speak to the other driver's insurance company without consulting a lawyer first.

What if the other driver is uninsured or underinsured?

If the other driver doesn’t have sufficient insurance, you may still be able to recover compensation through your own insurance policy or by filing a lawsuit against the driver.

How long do I have to file an auto accident claim?

In California, the statute of limitations for auto accident claims is generally two years from the date of the accident. However, it's best to contact an attorney as soon as possible.

Do I need a lawyer for an auto accident claim?

You don't necessarily need a lawyer, but having an experienced attorney can help ensure you get the maximum compensation you deserve.

How much does it cost to hire an auto accident lawyer?

We work on a contingency fee basis, meaning you don’t pay us anything unless we win your case. Our fee is a percentage of your settlement, and we’ll discuss all potential costs upfront.

Will I have to go to court?

Not necessarily. Many auto accident cases are settled through negotiation. However, if the insurance company refuses to offer a fair settlement, we are fully prepared to take your case to trial.
