Identifying the At-Fault Party

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 fault can be shared and damages may be reduced by a percentage.

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
