Who May Be Liable for a Car Accident?

Liability typically depends on who acted negligently and how that negligence caused the crash.

In many cases, more than one party may share fault.

California follows a comparative fault system, which means responsibility can be divided between drivers.

Compensation Available After a Car Accident

Depending on the severity of the injuries and the available insurance coverage, compensation may include:

• Medical expenses and future medical care
• Lost wages and loss of future earning capacity
• Reduced quality of life
• Emotional distress

If the crash caused a fatal injury, surviving family members may pursue a wrongful death claim.
