CAR ACCIDENT INSURANCE CLAIMS
Because California is a fault state for insurance purposes, the other driver must be found responsible for you to have a legal basis for a claim.
It is also worth noting that car accidents are governed by the doctrine of comparative negligence, which basically states that if your actions contributed to the accident in any way, the amount of your recovery will be reduced by the percentage of fault assigned to you.
If you sustained $100,000 in damages, for example, and the insurance company assigns 20% of the blame to you, your award will be reduced to $80,000.
Given that determining fault will significantly impact the value of your claim, it takes an experienced attorney to conduct a thorough investigation, collect all the evidence, and work to demonstrate the full extent of the other driver’s liability.
