Car Accidents in California
A car accident can impact your life immediately. Unfortunately, thousands of people are hospitalized weekly as a result of crashes that take place in our state. In most instances, these accidents are a result of negligent motorists.
Drivers who are speeding, under the influence of drugs, impaired by alcohol, and those who fail to yield continue to cause harm to innocent people daily. Although there are several steps that you can take to protect yourself while traveling on the road, you can never prevent other people from engaging in reckless and negligent actions. Regrettably, innocent people are often forced to pay serious consequences for the careless actions of other motorists.
If you have been hurt in a car crash, you can file a personal injury claim to recover compensation for your damages. This claim provides you with financial relief for your medical expenses, lost wages, vehicle repair expenses, and more. When it comes to awarding damages, the amount of compensation that a victim can recover is based on the comparative negligence laws. This law provides that victims are able to recover compensation for the damages that they face as a result of the defendant’s actions. If they contributed to the accident in any way, the amount of compensation they can recover would be reduced in proportion to the amount of fault they share.
For this reason, it is critically important to hire a California car accident lawyer in the aftermath of your accident. Doing so will ensure you are able to maximize the amount of compensation you recover.
