  1. Understand Personal Injury Law in California

  2. Understanding personal injury law in California is important if you’ve been injured due to someone else’s negligence and are considering pursuing a legal compensation claim. Remember that personal injury law can be complex and varies based on the specific circumstances of your case. Consulting with their Los Angeles personal injury attorney at McNally Law Office, specializing in personal injury cases, is typically the best way to ensure that your rights are protected and that you receive fair compensation for your injuries and losses.

  3. NEGLIGENCE COMPARATIVE NEGLIGENCE California follows a “pure comparative negligence” system. This means that even if you were partially at fault for the accident, you can still recover damages. However, your compensation will be reduced in proportion to your percentage of fault. For example, if you were found to be 20% at fault, your compensation would be reduced by 20%. In California, there is a time limit within which you must file a personal injury lawsuit. Typically, you have two years from the date of the injury to file your lawsuit. It’s crucial to be aware of this deadline, as failing to file within the prescribed time can result in losing your right to seek compensation.

  4. INSURANCE REQUIREMENTS AND NO-FAULT INSURANCE DAMAGES California law requires all drivers to have liability insurance. This insurance is meant to cover the costs of injuries and property damage in the event of an accident. Minimum insurance requirements exist, but drivers may opt for additional coverage. California follows a fault-based system, not a no-fault system. This means that the at-fault party’s insurance typically covers the damages, and you can file a claim with their insurer. However, you may also seek compensation from your insurer if the at-fault party is uninsured or underinsured. In personal injury cases, you can seek various damages, including economic and non-economic damages. These may include medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, property damage, etc. In cases of extreme negligence or intentional misconduct, punitive damages may also be awarded.
