What Types of Damages Can I Recover From a Car Accident in Inglewood?
Victims of a car accident have the right to seek compensation that will make them “whole” again. That means you have the right to seek compensation for any of the losses you have and can demonstrate were the result of the at-fault party.
Our objective is to consider all damages you have, including those impacting your finances, physical health, and mental well-being. Some examples of damages car accident victims have include:
- Medical bills: Any medical care you needed as a result of your accident is a component of your claim. This may include emergency care needs, hospitalization costs, medications, treatments, rehabilitation, and any ongoing support you need.
- Property damage: The insurance company should pay for the losses you have related to your vehicle or other lost assets, including paying to repair or replace it.
- Lost wages: For those who are unable to work for a period of time, you may be owed compensation for lost wages. If you cannot go back to your job, you may be owed compensation for loss of earning capacity.
- Pain and suffering: The intense turmoil that accidents like this cause can also be a component of your claim.
- Emotional trauma: Many victims suffer serious emotional trauma and devastating depression from such accidents.
Our Los Angeles car accident attorneys will investigate all aspects of your accident and losses to build a robust claim. We fight for maximum compensation to hold those who caused your injuries accountable.
How an Attorney Can Build Evidence and Prove Who Was at Fault in a Car Accident Case
A person or company whose negligence caused the crash may be legally responsible for the resulting losses, often through applicable liability insurance. But insurance companies don’t always make it easy. Here’s what a lawyer can do for you:
- Obtaining the police report and following up on any mistakes or omissions you notice
- Photographing vehicle damage and the crash scene
- Tracking down surveillance and dashcam footage from nearby businesses and drivers
- Interviewing witnesses and getting statements in writing
- Requesting vehicle data, phone records, or employment records when distraction or a commercial driver is involved
- Bringing in accident reconstruction experts for serious or disputed crashes
It’s not uncommon for there to be disputes over fault, so it’s often more difficult than just telling the insurance company someone else caused the crash. An attorney can help you build your claim and present it adequately to the insurance company.
How Long Do I Have to File a Car Accident Claim in California?
Do not wait to get legal guidance. Under CCP § 335.1, California’s statute of limitations, you have two years from the date of the accident to file a lawsuit in court for your losses. Most of the time, we can reach a settlement outside of court first, and you will not need to go to court.
