Fault and Responsibility in Glendale Crashes

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
• Reduced ability to work long-term
• Pain and suffering
• Emotional distress
