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.

What Your Claim May Include

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

• Ongoing treatment and follow-up care
• Reduced ability to work long-term
• Physical pain and discomfort
• Sleep disruption and crash-related fear
• Property damage

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

Our goal is to hold the at-fault party accountable and secure fair compensation.
