Car Accidents in California
California has more registered vehicles than any other state in the country and is one of the most dangerous places to drive. Every day roads are flooded with traffic and are busy with long commutes and traffic jams. Car accidents also happen every day in California, and many result in serious injuries or even death.
After being injured in a car accident that wasn’t your fault, you have a few options on how to proceed. You can choose one of the following:
- Do nothing and pay for the costs associated with the accident out of pocket
- Submit a claim and take on the insurance company on your own
- Hire a personal injury attorney to represent you who will fight for you to get the compensation you deserve
Despite what the commercials claim, insurance companies are not on your side and are not looking out for your best interest after an accident happens. They stay profitable by paying as little as possible on personal injury claims. The other person’s insurance company will likely deny responsibility and not want to pay any of the damages you’ve suffered. When dealing with the insurance company, you will not be dealing with your agent but, instead, an insurance adjuster who is trained to look for ways to deny your claim or limit your compensation.
Being in a car accident is stressful. The stress continues as you are recovering and dealing with the insurance company. From new financial worries to physical injuries, you may be wondering how you will move forward. A trusted car accident lawyer can help you understand the next steps, including your legal rights and options.
