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.
