About Motor Vehicle Accidents
Motor vehicle accidents — cars, trucks, motorcycles, rideshares, bicycles, buses, and pedestrian collisions — are the most common source of personal injury claims in California. Whether your crash happened on a freeway, a city street, or an intersection, the same core question applies: who was at fault, and to what degree. California follows a pure comparative negligence rule, so even if you share part of the blame, you can still recover compensation in proportion to the other party's fault. Recoverable damages often include medical bills, lost income, vehicle damage, and pain and suffering. Deadlines apply, so it helps to understand your rights early.
