PROTECTING THE INJURED FOR OVER 30 YEARS
have you or a loved one been recently injured?
A car accident can cause major turmoil and uncertainty in your life. Your recovery may take months or longer. You may require multiple surgeries and other medical procedures. In some cases, your injuries may cause permanent physical problems. At a time like this, you need to be able to turn to a law firm that will help you get the compensation you need. If you or a loved has been seriously injured in an automobile accident as a result of another’s negligence, your legal representation should be considered without delay. There are many issues that you or a loved one will encounter throughout the process if this happens to you. You should consider the following questions when you are faced with this situation:
• How am I going to manage the increasing medical bills?
• How can I continue to get medical help for my injuries?
• What can I do about my financial wellbeing and lost income from work?
• When should I discuss these issues with my insurance or their insurance?
“Taking immediate action to acquire assistance with these issues is essential. If you have been in an auto accident, you may have legal rights to compensation from different sources as the investigation unfolds. Therefore, you should take the proper steps to secure your best possible outcome and allow yourself the peace of mind that all avenues are being investigated for maximum compensation.” Rosenberg Law, P.C.

If another driver negligently causes an accident that could have been otherwise avoided, the injured party is eligible for compensation for damages sustained as a result. However, there are times when the fault of the driver cannot be determined. When this is the case, it is of the utmost importance for you to seek legal help so that your interests can be properly represented.

Frequently Asked Questions About Car Accidents in California
First, check for injuries and call 911 if anyone is hurt. Move to safety if possible. Exchange driver’s license, insurance, and contact information with the other driver. Photograph vehicle damage, license plates, the scene, and any visible injuries. Get witness contact information. Report the accident to police. Seek medical evaluation even if injuries seem minor. Notify your insurance company, but do not give a recorded statement to the other driver’s insurer before speaking with an attorney.
No. Anything you say can be used to reduce or deny your claim. Insurance adjusters are trained to elicit statements that hurt your case. You are generally required to notify your own insurer, but you are not required to speak with the at-fault driver’s insurance company. Direct those calls to your attorney.
California is a pure comparative fault state under Civil Code §1714. This means fault can be split among multiple parties, and you can still recover damages even if you were partially at fault — your recovery is reduced by your percentage of fault. Investigators review police reports, witness statements, vehicle damage, traffic camera footage, and accident reconstruction evidence to determine fault.
California requires drivers to carry liability insurance, but many do not. If your own auto policy includes Uninsured Motorist (UM) or Underinsured Motorist (UIM) coverage, you can file a claim against your own policy. Rosenberg Law, P.C. handles uninsured motorist claims throughout California.
Settlement value depends on injury severity, medical costs, lost income, future medical needs, pain and suffering, available insurance, and liability strength. Minor soft-tissue cases may resolve for a few thousand dollars; cases involving surgery, permanent injury, or wrongful death can resolve for hundreds of thousands or millions. There is no formula — each case is valued individually.
