Best Car Accident Claim Lawyers in California
Car Accident
Being involved in a car accident is scary—one minute you are going about your daily life and the next moment you are thrown into the often-chaotic world of dealing with police, insurance companies, hospitals, and car repairs.
Even after the initial trauma is over, you may require ongoing medical treatment, a rental car while your car is being repaired, and time off work to recover from the accident.
All of this comes with a cost. But, according to the no-fault law for car accidents in California, the person who was at fault is responsible for the costs.
What to do after a car accident in California
After you have taken care of all the initial urgent business regarding a car accident, including police reports and processing insurance claims, then it is time to talk to a lawyer who specializes in car accident claims.
Whether or not the accident was your fault or partially your fault, it is always a good idea to get the input of a lawyer to either ensure that you get the maximum compensation available for your claim or to protect yourself in case of a claim against you.
Lawyers know how to deal with insurance companies and can help mitigate any claims that are made against you by the other parties involved in the accident. After a claim is filed for a car accident, the insurance companies involved look at the facts and then decide who caused the accident. Fault can be assigned to one or both parties simultaneously on a percentage basis.
There is no specific limit to how much a plaintiff can seek in a car accident lawsuit. Car accident victims can sue the responsible parties for the full extent of their legal damages. This can range anywhere from a few thousand dollars to over $1,000,000.

Making a personal injury claim after a car accident
If you have been injured as a result of a car accident in California, then you may need to undergo a medical examination by an independent doctor as part of your claim. It is also important that you follow recommendations from your doctor with regards to medication, follow up procedures, and other outpatient activities, such as physiotherapy, or this may have a detrimental effect on your claim.
