In California, you have the ability to recover compensation for your medical costs, lost earnings, and a variety of other damages. When it comes to determining how much money you can recover, it is important to know that California follows the comparative negligence doctrine. This doctrine provides that the amount of compensation you can recover for your damages will be reduced by the amount that is proportionate to the percentage of fault that you share for the accident. For this reason, it is critically important to prove that the defendant was at fault for the accident and demand full compensation for all of the damages that you face. Working with a Northridge car accident lawyer can help to provide you with the best chance of maximizing your recovery.
